Welcome to Excel VBA Starter. This book has been especially created to provide you with all the information that you need to get up to speed with programming with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). You will learn the basics of VBA, get started with building your first VBA code, create user-defined functions to work out complex calculations, and see the tricks of the trade when it comes to using VBA with Excel.
This document contains the following sections:
So what is VBA? find out what VBA actually is, what you can do with it, and why it's so great.
Recording a macro, adding modules, browsing objects, and variables learn how to record a macro, add modules, browse for objects available in your project, and finally what variables are useful for.
Quick start: VBA programming this section will get you started on programming with VBA. Here you will learn how to perform some core tasks in VBA. Such tasks include using loops, dimensioning objects, and creating and categorizing User-defined Functions ( UDFs ).
Top features you need to know about VBA gives you infinite possibilities when it comes to creating your own solutions. In this section, you will learn some key concepts such as enumeration, classes (defining properties and methods), and referencing external libraries, in particular how to manipulate files and folders.
People and places you should get to know in this day and age, it is impossible to live without the Internet and it is here that you can find resources as well as help for your VBA woes. This section provides you with many useful links to the project page and forums, as well as a number of helpful articles, tutorials, blogs, and the Twitter feeds of VBA super-contributors.
In this section, you will get to know a bit about VBA, its basic features, what you can do with it, and how you can put it to work with a view to facilitating your daily work, by automating common tasks.
Visual Basic for Applications ( VBA ) is a programming language built into Microsoft Office applications. As you improve your skills in any application from the Office System, you will eventually realize that although Microsoft Office applications offer a large number of tools, they do not offer everything you need to perform your daily chores. Such chores may include creating a corporate custom-format, a custom function that calculates commission payments, and so on.
Thus, VBA works as a gap-filler; in other words, its main purpose is to ensure that you can do whatever you need to do in your job.
Once you have pushed your experience using the Office application to the limits and you can no longer get your job done due to a lack of built-in tools, using VBA will help avert frustrations you may encounter along the way. VBA enables you to build custom functions, also called User-defined Functions ( UDFs ), and you can automate tedious tasks such as defining and cleaning formats, manipulate system objects such as files and folders, as well as work together with Windows as a combined system, through its Application Programming Interface ( API ), and other applications by referencing their object libraries or Dynamic-link Libraries ( DLLs ).
Of course you can also use VBA to manipulate the Office application that hosts your code. For example, you can customize the user interface in order to facilitate the work you and others do.
An important thing to remember, though, is that the VBA code that you create is used within the host application. In our case, the code will run within Excel. Such VBA programs are not standalone, that is, they cannot run by themselves; they need the host application in order to operate correctly.
You can use VBA in two different ways. The first, and most common way is to code directly into your VBA project. For example, you may have an Excel workbook with some custom functions that calculate commissions. You can add modules to this workbook and code the UDFs in this module.
