Chapter One: Introduction to VBA

V isual Basic for Applications or VBA is a programming language, which is compatible with most Microsoft Office Products, including Excel. In other words, you can use VBA to develop programs in Excel. These programs will make Excel operate accurately and very fast.

For example, you may want to create a program that will help you import some data or numbers and then format that data to print a report. Once you develop the code, you can execute the macro using a command or a button. This will ensure that Excel performs the task in a few seconds or minutes.

Y ou must understand why you want to use VBA. You must ensure that you can take some time out of your busy schedule to sit down and write a VBA code. You must understand the different tasks you can use VBA for. You cannot use VBA to perform your chores, but you can use it to make some tasks easier for you. This section covers some tasks that you can perform with VBA.

M ost people do not like to prepare documents, and if these documents contain the same information, they will not want to work on that document. You can use the Excel Ad-in called Mail Merge to automate letters, but this is not an option to use when you want to write individual letters or documents. In such situations, you can use a VBA code to create a form that will include the common information. You can include check boxes that VBA will use to write the document for you.

Word processing is not the only task you can automate using VBA. You can also automate the spreadsheet and there are numerous programs you can create for the same. For example, you can extract information or data from the Internet into a spreadsheet by clicking a button. Therefore, you can limit the time you spend on simply copying the data from the web and pasting it according to the required format in your Excel worksheet.
