To reverse a string in VBA, you can use the built-in “StrReverse” function. This function takes a string as its input and returns the reversed version of that string. It is a useful tool for manipulating and rearranging strings in VBA programming. An example of using the “StrReverse” function would be as follows:
dim str as string
str = “Hello World” ‘original string
str = StrReverse(str) ‘reversed string
‘output: “dlroW olleH”
This function can be used in various applications, such as data manipulation, text formatting, and string comparisons. It is a simple yet powerful tool that can help improve the efficiency of VBA coding.
Reverse a String in VBA (With Example)
You can use the StrReverse function in VBA to reverse a text string.
Here is one common way to use this function in practice:
Sub ReverseStrings()
Dim i As IntegerFor i = 2 To 11
Range("B" & i) = StrReverse(Range("A" & i))
Next i
End Sub
This particular example reverses each string in the range A2:A11 and displays the results in the range B2:B11.
The following example shows how to use this syntax in practice.
Example: How to Reverse Strings Using VBA
Suppose we have the following column of basketball team names in Excel:
Suppose we would like to reverse each team name and display the results in the corresponding cell in column B.
We can create the following macro to do so:
Sub ReverseStrings()
Dim i As IntegerFor i = 2 To 11
Range("B" & i) = StrReverse(Range("A" & i))
Next i
End Sub
When we run this macro, we receive the following output:
Column B displays each team name from column A in reverse.
For example:
- Mavs becomes svaM
- Spurs becomes srupS
- Rockets becomes stekcoR
- Kings becomes sgniK
And so on.
For example, applying the StrReverse function to the number 1234 would return 4321.
