Does an if statement stop, once it meets a true criteria? I'm trying to set up a routine that using today's date, checks to see which payperiod the date falls in. So what I wrote was Dim dtppedate as Date Dim ieac as Integer If today < 10 / 1 / 2005 Then dtppedate = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sum EAC 2006").Range("PP1") ieac = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sum EAC 2006").Range("EACPP1") Else if today < 10/15/2005 then dtppedate = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sum EAC 2006").Range("PP2") ieac = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sum EAC 2006").Range("EACPP2") End If This would continue for 27 payperiods. Will this work for instance if the date is 9/30/2005, then it meets the first if statement, so does it stop processing the if statement? Or do I somhow get the date to check if it's between two dates? and Is there an easier way that writing 27 if statements?
