VBA Tip: Square Root / Square

Square root

To get the square root of a VBA value, you need the Sqr function:

Sub example()

    test_number = 9
    
    MsgBox Sqr(test_number) 'Show the square root: 3

End Sub

Square

To get the square of a number, you can use "^" (as for a formula in a cell):

Sub example()

    test_number = 9
    
    MsgBox test_number ^ 2 'Show the square: 81
    MsgBox test_number ^ 3 'Show the cube: 729

End Sub
