Credit Card Verification

Hi all,
I have an interesting one... am looking for a way to verify a credit card number using the check digit (there's standard formula). I saw the source code on the net but its in C. Just wondering does anyone have it in vba. Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
If the code in C is short, slap it in here and maybe a kind person code convert it to VB.

Hi,

for a non-VBA approach, try this cumbersome formula :

assuming A1 houses your credit card number :

=IF(MOD(SUM(IF((MID(TEXT(+A1,"00000000000000000000"),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20},1)*({2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1}))<10,(MID(TEXT(+A1,"00000000000000000000"),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20},1)*({2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1})),MID((MID(TEXT(+A1,"00000000000000000000"),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20},1)*({2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1})),1,1)+MID((MID(TEXT(+A1,"00000000000000000000"),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20},1)*({2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1})),2,1))),10)=0,"Okay","Not valid")

I'm sure it could be shortened *slightly*, but it seems to work on my credit card numbers (first 15 digits). It looks at the number for validity rather than the check digit, so not exactly what you asked for, but it might help.
