VBA - how to conditionally skip a for loop iteration

I have a for loop over an array. What I want to do is test for a certain condition in the loop and skip to the next iteration if true:

For i = LBound(Schedule, 1) To UBound(Schedule, 1)
    If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then
        PrevCouponIndex = i
        Continue   '*** THIS LINE DOESN'T COMPILE, nor does "Next"
    End If
    DF = Application.Run("SomeFunction"....)
    PV = PV + (DF * Coupon / CouponFrequency)
Next

I Know I can do:

 If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then Continue For

but I want to be able to record the last value of i in the PrevCouponIndex variable.

Any ideas?

Thanks

VBA does not have a Continue or any other equivalent keyword to immediately jump to the next loop iteration. I would suggest a judicious use of Goto as a workaround, especially if this is just a contrived example and your real code is more complicated:

For i = LBound(Schedule, 1) To UBound(Schedule, 1)
    If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then
        PrevCouponIndex = i
        Goto NextIteration
    End If
    DF = Application.Run("SomeFunction"....)
    PV = PV + (DF * Coupon / CouponFrequency)
    '....'
    'a whole bunch of other code you are not showing us'
    '....'
    NextIteration:
Next

If that is really all of your code, though, @Brian is absolutely correct. Just put an Else clause in your If statement and be done with it.

You can use a kind of continue by using a nested Do ... Loop While False:

'This sample will output 1 and 3 only

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 3: Do

    If i = 2 Then Exit Do 'Exit Do is the Continue

    Debug.Print i

Loop While False: Next i

Couldn't you just do something simple like this?

For i = LBound(Schedule, 1) To UBound(Schedule, 1)
  If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then
     PrevCouponIndex = i
  Else
     DF = Application.Run("SomeFunction"....)
     PV = PV + (DF * Coupon / CouponFrequency)
  End If
Next

Continue For isn't valid in VBA or VB6.

From this MSDN page it looks to have been introduced into VB.Net in VS 2005./Net 2.

As the others have said there's not really an option other than to use Goto or an Else.

Hi I am also facing this issue and I solve this using below example code

For j = 1 To MyTemplte.Sheets.Count

       If MyTemplte.Sheets(j).Visible = 0 Then
           GoTo DoNothing        
       End If 


'process for this for loop
DoNothing:

Next j 

  

Maybe try putting it all in the end if and use a else to skip the code this will make it so that you are able not use the GoTo.

                        If 6 - ((Int_height(Int_Column - 1) - 1) + Int_direction(e, 1)) = 7 Or (Int_Column - 1) + Int_direction(e, 0) = -1 Or (Int_Column - 1) + Int_direction(e, 0) = 7 Then
                Else
                    If Grid((Int_Column - 1) + Int_direction(e, 0), 6 - ((Int_height(Int_Column - 1) - 1) + Int_direction(e, 1))) = "_" Then
                        Console.ReadLine()
                    End If
                End If
