VBA Data Types for Developers

VBA supports several intrinsic data types including Boolean, Byte, Currency, Date, Decimal, Double, Integer, Long, String, and Variant. Each data type has an associated storage size and value range. For example, a Boolean uses 2 bytes and can be either True or False, while a Date uses 8 bytes and ranges from January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999. User-defined types can also be created to hold custom data.
