Summing up digits in an integer

[Taewo]

I'm a 50 year old trying to learn Visual Basic. I need help as follows:

I want to write a macro to check which integer from 100 to 999 has its sum of digits divisible by 3

e.g.435 = 4+3+5 = 12 and 12 is divisible by 3.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

By your use of the word macro I assume that you are using VBA within one of the office products. It may help to know which one you are using.

As for the question you could use MID$() to pull each digit from the number in question
You can then add the numbers together
You can use the MOD operator to see if the sum is evenly divisible by a given number.

For any number (expressed in base 10), if the number is divisible by 3 then so is the sum of the digits - and vice versa. So you could simply determine whether the number itself is divisible by 3.

I was thinking that may be the case as well but did not go so far as to confirm if so then it is as simple as just using a mod operator

If MyNumber Mod 3 = 0 Then
    MsgBox "Is evenly divisible"
Else
    MsgBox "Is not evenly divisible"
End If

DataMiser, Thanks for your prompt response. I'm using VBA Excel 2010.
