What is the difference between if else and case statement.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Technically, there is no difference. I would say its just two different ways of formatting your code.

our code starts to get messy with multiple IF statements, and may be confusing when reading it back.

Example:
Code:
If text = "Apple" Then
    'code
Else If text = "Grape" Then
    'code
Else If text = "Banana" Then
    'code
Else If text = "Orange" Then
    'code
End If
 
---Compared too---
 
Select Case text
    Case "Apple"
         'code
    Case "Grape"
         'code
    Case "Banana"
         'code
    Case "Orange"
         'code
End Case
