Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ payback Period Formula / Macro
HI *Hope this Will makes some sens for you.* The word Dim is short for dimmension and is used to declare variables. Now, while Excel can still work quite happily if we omit the Dim (as long as we do not have Option Explicit), it comes at a price. Excel MUST store all undeclared variables as a Variant, meaning it can accept any data type (String, Iteger, Range etc). This forces Excel to reserve much more memory than really needed. So this is why 'good' code has all variables dimmensioned correctly. There are 3 basic levels of Dim Statements. 1. Procedure Level 2. Module Level 3. Project Level 1. Procedure Level Must be used inside of a Procedure between Sub MacroName() Dim iInt as Integer End Sub This will ONLY retain the value passed to it while the Procedure is running, it is then destoyed. 2. Module Level Must be placed at the very top of a Module and will then be available to ALL Procedures within that module. 3.Project Level Must be placed at the very top of a Standard Module using the Public Key word, eg Public iInt as Integer This is then available to ALL Procedures in all modules at ALL times. Until we either: 1.Destroy the variable (set it back to it's default), eg iInt=0 2. Use the End statement in any Procedure. 3. Close the Workbook. regards Prince On Monday, July 8, 2013 12:45:36 PM UTC+5:30, Dominic Rassool wrote: > > Hi David, > > Im just getting to grips with VB; could you please let me know what Dim > means?

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ payback Period Formula / Macro
Hi Shekar, Payback is basically a financial tool to see how much it takes to recover your invest, in other words break even. If I invest Rs. 100 in one project which gives me following returns - 1 year Rs. 30, 2 year Rs. 40, 3 year Rs. 60. We can see that I recover my investment / break even in somewhere in 3 year. We can assume that Rs. 60 occur evenly throughout the year and we come to payback period of 2.5 years For more on this topic, you can simply do a google search. There is no in-build function for this in Excel.
