Question

I have a for loop over an array. What I want to do is test for a certain condition in the loop and skip to the next iteration if true:

For i = LBound(Schedule, 1) To UBound(Schedule, 1)
    If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then
        PrevCouponIndex = i
        Continue   '*** THIS LINE DOESN'T COMPILE, nor does "Next"
    End If
    DF = Application.Run("SomeFunction"....)
    PV = PV + (DF * Coupon / CouponFrequency)
Next

I Know I can do:

 If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then Continue For

but I want to be able to record the last value of i in the PrevCouponIndex variable.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Couldn’t you just do something simple like this?

For i = LBound(Schedule, 1) To UBound(Schedule, 1)
  If (Schedule(i, 1) < ReferenceDate) Then
     PrevCouponIndex = i
  Else
     DF = Application.Run("SomeFunction"....)
     PV = PV + (DF * Coupon / CouponFrequency)
  End If
Next
