How do I use Excel's built-in modulo function (MOD) in VBA?

Question

My questions is somewhat related to this post .

However, let's say I want to use Excel's built-in MOD (modulo) function in VBA. This site suggests that using Application.WorksheetFunction.[insert name of Excel function] would provide the desired effect.

However, Application.WorksheetFunction.MOD does not work.

In fact, when I simply type Application.WorksheetFunction. into VBA, a dropdown menu appears providing a list of function names to choose from, but MOD is not provided in this list!

2 questions:

1. What's going on here?
2. How do I actually use Excel's built-in MOD function in VBA?

Note: I started down this path b/c I'm trying to get 1.7 Mod 0.5 to equal 0.2 using VBA's Mod function, but it produces #VALUE! in the resulting Excel cell I apply my VBA function to. However, if I type MOD(1.7,0.5) directly into Excel, I get the correct answer (ie, 0.2 )

Answer 1

You use as is since it is an operator (with integers). Use evaluate if you want to use doubles etc eg

Eg

Debug.Print 2 Mod 12
Debug.Print Evaluate("Mod(1.7,0.5)")
Dim x As Double, y As Double
x = 1.7
y = 0.5
Debug.Print Evaluate("Mod(" & x & "," & y & ")")

See documentation . There are limitations with large numbers. A common workaround, from Microsoft, is:

=number-(INT(number/divisor)*divisor)
