Excel VBA While Loop Tutorial – Loop Through Rows in Excel

In this episode of Excel VBA for Professionals, we introduce one of the most powerful programming concepts: loops. Specifically, you'll learn how to use the While loop to efficiently iterate over rows of Excel data — without writing 30+ print statements.

🔁 What you’ll learn:

How to loop through rows in Excel using While

Avoiding repetitive code by using control variables

Preventing infinite loops in VBA

Debug printing and cell referencing with Cells(row, column)

Real-world application of looping over test scores

🧠 Whether you’re automating reports or building smarter macros, mastering loops is essential!
