How to Make a Multiple Choice Quiz in Excel VBA

To create a multiple choice quiz in Excel VBA, you can use form controls like Option Buttons and a Command Button. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Create the quiz questions: Enter your quiz questions in column A and the possible choices in columns B to D. Put the correct answer in column E.
2. Add form controls: Go to the Developer tab (if not visible, enable it from Excel Options) and click on the Insert button in the Controls group. Choose the Option Button control and draw it next to the first question. Repeat this for each question and choice combination.
3. Assign names to form controls: Right-click on each Option Button and select Edit Text. Enter a unique name for each option, such as “Q1A”, “Q1B”, “Q2A”, etc.
4. Insert a Command Button: Insert a Command Button from the Controls group in the Developer tab. Position it below the last question.
5. Write VBA code: Right-click on the Command Button and choose View Code. This opens the Visual Basic Editor. In the code window, enter the following code:

   
   Sub CheckAnswers()
       Dim CorrectCount As Integer
       CorrectCount = 0
       
       ' Check each question
       
       ' Question 1
       If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("Option Button 1").OLEFormat.Object.Value = True Then
           CorrectCount = CorrectCount + 1
       End If
       
       ' Question 2
       If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("Option Button 4").OLEFormat.Object.Value = True Then
           CorrectCount = CorrectCount + 1
       End If
       
       ' Question 3
       If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("Option Button 6").OLEFormat.Object.Value = True Then
           CorrectCount = CorrectCount + 1
       End If
       
       ' Show the result
       MsgBox "You answered " & CorrectCount & " questions correctly!"
   End Sub
         

   This code checks the value of each Option Button and increments the CorrectCount variable if the answer is correct.

6. Associate code with the Command Button: Close the Visual Basic Editor and right-click on the Command Button. Choose Assign Macro and select the CheckAnswers macro. Click OK.
7. Test your quiz: Go back to the Excel worksheet and click on the Command Button. You should see a message box displaying the number of correct answers.

That’s it! You have now created a multiple choice quiz using Excel VBA. You can customize this setup to add more questions or make other modifications based on your specific requirements.
