Excel Vba - Exit for Loop

Excel Vba - Exit for Loop

I would like to exit my for loop when a condition inside is met. How could I exit my for loop when the if condition has been met? I think some kind of exit at the end of my if statement, but don't know how that would work.

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 50
    Range("B" & i).Select
    If Range("B" & i).Value = "Artikel" Then
        Dim temp As Long
        temp = i
    End If
Next i
Range("A1:Z" & temp - 1).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft

To exit your loop early you can use Exit For

If [condition] Then Exit For

Another way to exit a For loop early is by changing the loop counter:

For i = 1 To 10
    If i = 5 Then i = 10
Next i

Debug.Print i   '11

For i = 1 To 10
    If i = 5 Then Exit For
Next i

Debug.Print i   '5

The first answer given with the following is indeed i.m.o. best practice:

if i = 0 then exit for

However, this is also an option:

Sub some()

Count = 0
End_ = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B1047854").End(xlUp).Row

While Count < End_ And Not ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B" & Count).Value = "Artikel"
    Count = Count + 1
    If ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B" & Count).Value = "Artikel" Then
        ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1:Z" & Count - 1).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    End If
Wend

End Sub

if condition (inside your while - loop) then goto (some marker outside the loop)
