Exit For, Exit Do, Exit Sub, and Exit Function leave the current loop or procedure immediately.

Code

If found Then Exit For

• Stop when found

  For Each c In rng If c.Value = target Then found = c.Address Exit For End If Next c → Stops at the first match

  No wasted passes.

• Guard clause

  If lastRow < 2 Then Exit Sub → A guard clause at the top

  Nothing to do, leave.

• Before an error handler

  On Error GoTo Handler ... Exit Sub Handler: MsgBox Err.Description → Exit Sub stops normal flow from falling into the handler

  The standard error pattern.

• Guard clauses keep the main code un-nested.
• Exit Sub before a handler label is essential.
• End (alone) stops all code and resets variables; avoid it.

• Exit inside nested loops only leaves the inner one.
• Exit Sub skips cleanup like restoring ScreenUpdating; put cleanup in the handler path too.
