A combination of If and Else statements. ElseIf behaves like an If statement in another If statement.
When an If statement evaluates to False, the ElseIf statement can evaluate an alternate condition and run a different block of statements if the alternate condition is True. An If statement can include several ElseIf statements.
Tip: The Select...Case statement is similar to the ElseIf statement and may be easier to use when evaluating a condition with several possible results.
Syntax
