Question

VBA has a Select statement that chooses which code to run based on a value (much like switch in C-style languages). The syntax for this statement looks like:

Select Case x
    Case 1
        'do one thing
    Case 2
        'do a different thing
End Select

What is the purpose of the Case right after Select? Alternatively, what is the meaning of Select without Case?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a Select statement in VBA. There is a Select Case statement.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the answers to your questions are: There is none, and there is none.

It’s a bit like asking what is the meaning of Pri without nt and vice-versa… There is no particularly exciting answer to that question.
