Check if bits are SET in vba code example

Example 1: Check if bits are SET in vba

'Fast VBA function to test if specific bits are set 
'within a Byte. If ALL specified bits are set then this function
'returns True. If ANY of the specified bits are not set then
'this function returns False.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 7, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: bits can be specified in any order.


Function ByteBitsAreSet(theByte As Byte, ParamArray bits()) As Boolean
    Static i&, b() As Byte
    If UBound(bits) = -1 Then Exit Function
    If (Not Not b) = 0 Then
        ReDim b(0 To 7)
        For i = 0 To 7
            b(i) = 2 ^ i
        Next
    End If
    For i = 0 To UBound(bits)
        If bits(i) < 0 Then Exit Function
        If bits(i) > 7 Then Exit Function
        If (theByte And b(Int(bits(i)))) = 0 Then Exit Function
    Next
    ByteBitsAreSet = True
End Function

Example 2: excel vba is bit set long

'Extremely fast VBA function to test if a specified bit is set 
'within a 32-bit Long integer.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 31, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: we do not inspect bit 31, the sign bit.
'Note: any number of bits can be specified in one call.


Function LongBitIsSet(theLong&, bit As Byte) As Boolean
    Static i&, b&()
    If (Not Not b) = 0 Then

        Next
    End If

Example 3: excel vba check if bit is set in integer

'Extremely fast VBA function to test if a specified bit is set 
'within a 16-bit Integer.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 15, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: we do not inspect bit 15, the sign bit.

    Static i&, b%()
    If (Not Not b) = 0 Then

        For i = 0 To 14
            b(i) = 2 ^ i
        Next
    End If
    If bit < 15 Then IntegerBitIsSet = theInteger And b(bit)
End Function

Example 4: excel vba set bit in byte

'Extremely fast VBA function to test if a specified bit is set 
'within a Byte.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 7, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

Function ByteBitIsSet(theByte As Byte, bit As Byte) As Boolean
    Static i&, b() As Byte
    If (Not Not b) = 0 Then

        For i = 0 To 7
            b(i) = 2 ^ i
