Excel VBA Tutorial – How to Write Code in a Spreadsheet Using Visual Basic

Introduction

This is a tutorial about writing code in Excel spreadsheets using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Excel is one of Microsoft’s most popular products. In 2016, the CEO of Microsoft said  «Think about a world without Excel. That’s just impossible for me.” Well, maybe the world can’t think without Excel.

  • In 1996, there were over 30 million users of Microsoft Excel (source).
  • Today, there are an estimated 750 million users of Microsoft Excel. That’s a little more than the population of Europe and 25x more users than there were in 1996.

We’re one big happy family!

In this tutorial, you’ll learn about VBA and how to write code in an Excel spreadsheet using Visual Basic.

Prerequisites

You don’t need any prior programming experience to understand this tutorial. However, you will need:

  • Basic to intermediate familiarity with Microsoft Excel
  • If you want to follow along with the VBA examples in this article, you will need access to Microsoft Excel, preferably the latest version (2019) but Excel 2016 and Excel 2013 will work just fine.
  • A willingness to try new things

Learning Objectives

Over the course of this article, you will learn:

  1. What VBA is
  2. Why you would use VBA
  3. How to get set up in Excel to write VBA
  4. How to solve some real-world problems with VBA

Important Concepts

Here are some important concepts that you should be familiar with to fully understand this tutorial.

Objects: Excel is object-oriented, which means everything is an object — the Excel window, the workbook, a sheet, a chart, a cell. VBA allows users to manipulate and perform actions with objects in Excel.

If you don’t have any experience with object-oriented programming and this is a brand new concept, take a second to let that sink in!

Procedures: a procedure is a chunk of VBA code, written in the Visual Basic Editor, that accomplishes a task. Sometimes, this is also referred to as a macro (more on macros below). There are two types of procedures:

  • Subroutines: a group of VBA statements that performs one or more actions
  • Functions: a group of VBA statements that performs one or more actions and returns one or more values

Note: you can have functions operating inside of subroutines. You’ll see later.

Macros: If you’ve spent any time learning more advanced Excel functionality, you’ve probably encountered the concept of a “macro.” Excel users can record macros, consisting of user commands/keystrokes/clicks, and play them back at lightning speed to accomplish repetitive tasks. Recorded macros generate VBA code, which you can then examine. It’s actually quite fun to record a simple macro and then look at the VBA code.

Please keep in mind that sometimes it may be easier and faster to record a macro rather than hand-code a VBA procedure.

For example, maybe you work in project management. Once a week, you have to turn a raw exported report from your project management system into a beautifully formatted, clean report for leadership. You need to format the names of the over-budget projects in bold red text. You could record the formatting changes as a macro and run that whenever you need to make the change.

What is VBA?

Visual Basic for Applications is a programming language developed by Microsoft. Each software program in the Microsoft Office suite is bundled with the VBA language at no extra cost. VBA allows Microsoft Office users to create small programs that operate within Microsoft Office software programs.

Think of VBA like a pizza oven within a restaurant. Excel is the restaurant. The kitchen comes with standard commercial appliances, like large refrigerators, stoves, and regular ole’ ovens — those are all of Excel’s standard features.

But what if you want to make wood-fired pizza? Can’t do that in a standard commercial baking oven. VBA is the pizza oven.

Pizza in a pizza oven

Yum.

Why use VBA in Excel?

Because wood-fired pizza is the best!

But seriously.

A lot of people spend a lot of time in Excel as a part of their jobs. Time in Excel moves differently, too. Depending on the circumstances, 10 minutes in Excel can feel like eternity if you’re not able to do what you need, or 10 hours can go by very quickly if everything is going great. Which is when you should ask yourself, why on earth am I spending 10 hours in Excel?

Sometimes, those days are inevitable. But if you’re spending 8-10 hours everyday in Excel doing repetitive tasks, repeating a lot of the same processes, trying to clean up after other users of the file, or even updating other files after changes are made to the Excel file, a VBA procedure just might be the solution for you.

You should consider using VBA if you need to:

  • Automate repetitive tasks
  • Create easy ways for users to interact with your spreadsheets
  • Manipulate large amounts of data

Getting Set Up to Write VBA in Excel

Developer Tab

To write VBA, you’ll need to add the Developer tab to the ribbon, so you’ll see the ribbon like this.

VBA developer tab

To add the Developer tab to the ribbon:

  1. On the File tab, go to Options > Customize Ribbon.
  2. Under Customize the Ribbon and under Main Tabs, select the Developer check box.

After you show the tab, the Developer tab stays visible, unless you clear the check box or have to reinstall Excel. For more information, see Microsoft help documentation.

VBA Editor

Navigate to the Developer Tab, and click the Visual Basic button. A new window will pop up — this is the Visual Basic Editor. For the purposes of this tutorial, you just need to be familiar with the Project Explorer pane and the Property Properties pane.

VBA editor

Excel VBA Examples

First, let’s create a file for us to play around in.

  1. Open a new Excel file
  2. Save it as a macro-enabled workbook (. xlsm)
  3. Select the Developer tab
  4. Open the VBA Editor

Let’s rock and roll with some easy examples to get you writing code in a spreadsheet using Visual Basic.

Example #1: Display a Message when Users Open the Excel Workbook

In the VBA Editor, select Insert -> New Module

Write this code in the Module window (don’t paste!):

Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox («Welcome to the XYZ Workbook.»)
End Sub

Save, close the workbook, and reopen the workbook. This dialog should display.

Welcome to XYZ notebook message example

Ta da!

How is it doing that?

Depending on your familiarity with programming, you may have some guesses. It’s not particularly complex, but there’s quite a lot going on:

  • Sub (short for “Subroutine): remember from the beginning, “a group of VBA statements that performs one or more actions.”
  • Auto_Open: this is the specific subroutine. It automatically runs your code when the Excel file opens — this is the event that triggers the procedure. Auto_Open will only run when the workbook is opened manually; it will not run if the workbook is opened via code from another workbook (Workbook_Open will do that, learn more about the difference between the two).
  • By default, a subroutine’s access is public. This means any other module can use this subroutine. All examples in this tutorial will be public subroutines. If needed, you can declare subroutines as private. This may be needed in some situations. Learn more about subroutine access modifiers.
  • msgBox: this is a function — a group of VBA statements that performs one or more actions and returns a value. The returned value is the message “Welcome to the XYZ Workbook.”

In short, this is a simple subroutine that contains a function.

When could I use this?

Maybe you have a very important file that is accessed infrequently (say, once a quarter), but automatically updated daily by another VBA procedure. When it is accessed, it’s by many people in multiple departments, all across the company.

  • Problem: Most of the time when users access the file, they are confused about the purpose of this file (why it exists), how it is updated so often, who maintains it, and how they should interact with it. New hires always have tons of questions, and you have to field these questions over and over and over again.
  • Solution: create a user message that contains a concise answer to each of these frequently answered questions.

Real World Examples

  • Use the MsgBox function to display a message when there is any event: user closes an Excel workbook, user prints, a new sheet is added to the workbook, etc.
  • Use the MsgBox function to display a message when a user needs to fulfill a condition before closing an Excel workbook
  • Use the InputBox function to get information from the user

Example #2: Allow User to Execute another Procedure

In the VBA Editor, select Insert -> New Module

Write this code in the Module window (don’t paste!):

Sub UserReportQuery()
Dim UserInput As Long
Dim Answer As Integer
UserInput = vbYesNo
Answer = MsgBox(«Process the XYZ Report?», UserInput)
If Answer = vbYes Then ProcessReport
End Sub

Sub ProcessReport()
MsgBox («Thanks for processing the XYZ Report.»)
End Sub

Save and navigate back to the Developer tab of Excel and select the “Button” option. Click on a cell and assign the UserReportQuery macro to the button.

Now click the button. This message should display:

Process the XYZ report message example

Click “yes” or hit Enter.

Thanks for processing the XYZ report message example

Once again, tada!

Please note that the secondary subroutine, ProcessReport, could be anything. I’ll demonstrate more possibilities in example #3. But first…

How is it doing that?

This example builds on the previous example and has quite a few new elements. Let’s go over the new stuff:

  • Dim UserInput As Long: Dim is short for “dimension” and allows you to declare variable names. In this case, UserInput is the variable name and Long is the data type. In plain English, this line means “Here’s a variable called “UserInput”, and it’s a Long variable type.”
  • Dim Answer As Integer: declares another variable called “Answer,” with a data type of Integer. Learn more about data types here.
  • UserInput = vbYesNo: assigns a value to the variable. In this case, vbYesNo, which displays Yes and No buttons. There are many button types, learn more here.
  • Answer = MsgBox(“Process the XYZ Report?”, UserInput): assigns the value of the variable Answer to be a MsgBox function and the UserInput variable. Yes, a variable within a variable.
  • If Answer = vbYes Then ProcessReport: this is an “If statement,” a conditional statement, which allows us to say if x is true, then do y. In this case, if the user has selected “Yes,” then execute the ProcessReport subroutine.

When could I use this?

This could be used in many, many ways. The value and versatility of this functionality is more so defined by what the secondary subroutine does.

For example, maybe you have a file that is used to generate 3 different weekly reports. These reports are formatted in dramatically different ways.

  • Problem: Each time one of these reports needs to be generated, a user opens the file and changes formatting and charts; so on and so forth. This file is being edited extensively at least 3 times per week, and it takes at least 30 minutes each time it’s edited.
  • Solution: create 1 button per report type, which automatically reformats the necessary components of the reports and generates the necessary charts.

Real World Examples

  • Create a dialog box for user to automatically populate certain information across multiple sheets
  • Use the InputBox function to get information from the user, which is then populated across multiple sheets

Example #3: Add Numbers to a Range with a For-Next Loop

For loops are very useful if you need to perform repetitive tasks on a specific range of values — arrays or cell ranges. In plain English, a loop says “for each x, do y.”

In the VBA Editor, select Insert -> New Module

Write this code in the Module window (don’t paste!):

Sub LoopExample()
Dim X As Integer
For X = 1 To 100
Range(«A» & X).Value = X
Next X
End Sub

Save and navigate back to the Developer tab of Excel and select the Macros button. Run the LoopExample macro.

This should happen:

For-Next loop results

Etc, until the 100th row.

How is it doing that?

  • Dim X As Integer: declares the variable X as a data type of Integer.
  • For X = 1 To 100: this is the start of the For loop. Simply put, it tells the loop to keep repeating until X = 100. X is the counter. The loop will keep executing until X = 100, execute one last time, and then stop.
  • Range(«A» & X).Value = X: this declares the range of the loop and what to put in that range. Since X = 1 initially, the first cell will be A1, at which point the loop will put X into that cell.
  • Next X: this tells the loop to run again

When could I use this?

The For-Next loop is one of the most powerful functionalities of VBA; there are numerous potential use cases. This is a more complex example that would require multiple layers of logic, but it communicates the world of possibilities in For-Next loops.

Maybe you have a list of all products sold at your bakery in Column A, the type of product in Column B (cakes, donuts, or muffins), the cost of ingredients in Column C, and the market average cost of each product type in another sheet.

You need to figure out what should be the retail price of each product. You’re thinking it should be the cost of ingredients plus 20%, but also 1.2% under market average if possible. A For-Next loop would allow you to do this type of calculation.

Real World Examples

  • Use a loop with a nested if statement to add specific values to a separate array only if they meet certain conditions
  • Perform mathematical calculations on each value in a range, e.g. calculate additional charges and add them to the value
  • Loop through each character in a string and extract all numbers
  • Randomly select a number of values from an array

Conclusion

Now that we’ve talked about pizza and muffins and oh-yeah, how to write VBA code in Excel spreadsheets, let’s do a learning check. See if you can answer these questions.

  • What is VBA?
  • How do I get set up to start using VBA in Excel?
  • Why and when would you use VBA?
  • What are some problems I could solve with VBA?

If you have a fair idea of how to you could answer these questions, then this was successful.

Whether you’re an occasional user or a power user, I hope this tutorial provided useful information about what can be accomplished with just a bit of code in your Excel spreadsheets.

Happy coding!

Macro codes can save you a ton of time.

You can automate small as well as heavy tasks with VBA codes.

And do you know?

With the help of macros…

…you can break all the limitations of Excel which you think Excel has.

And today, I have listed some of the useful codes examples to help you become more productive in your day to day work.

You can use these codes even if you haven’t used VBA before that.

But here’s the first thing to know:

What is a Macro Code?

In Excel, macro code is a programming code which is written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) language.

The idea behind using a macro code is to automate an action which you perform manually in Excel, otherwise.

For example, you can use a code to print only a particular range of cells just with a single click instead of selecting the range -> File Tab -> Print -> Print Select -> OK Button.

How to use a Macro Code in Excel

Before you use these codes, make sure you have your developer tab on your Excel ribbon to access VB editor. Once you activate developer tab you can use below steps to paste a VBA code into VB editor.

List of Top 100 macro Examples (CODES) for VBA beginners

I have added all the codes into specific categories so that you can find your favorite codes quickly. Just read the title and click on it to get the code.

note

  • This is my Ultimate VBA Library which I update on monthly basis with new codes and Don’t forget to check the VBA Examples Sectionꜜ at the end of this list.
  • VBA is one of the Advanced Excel Skills.
  • To manage all of these codes make sure to read about Personal Macro Workbook to use these codes in all the workbooks.
  • I have tested all of these codes in different versions of Excel (2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019). If you found any error in any of these codes, make sure to share with me.

Basic Codes

These VBA codes will help you to perform some basic tasks in a flash which you frequently do in your spreadsheets.

1. Add Serial Numbers

Sub AddSerialNumbers()
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter Value", "Enter Serial Numbers")
For i = 1 To i
ActiveCell.Value = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Next i
Last:Exit Sub
End Sub

This macro code will help you to automatically add serial numbers in your Excel sheet which can be helpful for you if you work with large data.

To use this code you need to select the cell from where you want to start the serial numbers and when you run this it shows you a message box where you need to enter the highest number for the serial numbers and click OK. And once you click OK, it simply runs a loop and add a list of serial numbers to the cells downward.

2. Insert Multiple Columns

Sub InsertMultipleColumns()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter number of columns to insert", "Insert Columns")
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

This code helps you to enter multiple columns in a single click. When you run this code it asks you the number columns you want to add and when you click OK, it adds entered number of columns after the selected cell. If you want to add columns before the selected cell, replace the xlToRight to xlToLeft in the code.

3. Insert Multiple Rows

Sub InsertMultipleRows()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter number of columns to insert", "Insert Columns")
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

With this code, you can enter multiple rows in the worksheet. When you run this code, you can enter the number of rows to insert and make sure to select the cell from where you want to insert the new rows. If you want to add rows before the selected cell, replace the xlToDown to xlToUp in the code.

4. Auto Fit Columns

Sub AutoFitColumns()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End Sub

This code quickly auto fits all the columns in your worksheet. So when you run this code, it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the columns.

5. Auto Fit Rows

Sub AutoFitRows()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
End Sub

You can use this code to auto-fit all the rows in a worksheet. When you run this code it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the row.

6. Remove Text Wrap

Sub RemoveTextWrap()
Range("A1").WrapText = False
End Sub

This code will help you to remove text wrap from the entire worksheet with a single click. It will first select all the columns and then remove text wrap and auto fit all the rows and columns. There’s also a shortcut that you can use (Alt + H +‌W) for but if you add this code to Quick Access Toolbar it’s convenient than a keyboard shortcut.

7. Unmerge Cells

Sub UnmergeCells()
Selection.UnMerge
End Sub

This code simply uses the unmerge options which you have on the HOME‌ tab. The benefit of using this code is you can add it to the QAT and unmerge all the cell in the selection. And if you want to un-merge a specific range you can define that range in the code by replacing the word selection.

8. Open Calculator

Sub OpenCalculator()
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp Index:=0
End Sub

In Windows, there is a specific calculator and by using this macro code you can open that calculator directly from Excel. As I mentioned that it’s for windows and if you run this code in the MAC version of VBA you’ll get an error.

9. Add Header/Footer Date

Sub DateInHeader()
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = "&D"
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = ""
End With
End Sub

This macro adds a date to the header when you run it. It simply uses the tag «&D» for adding the date. You can also change it to the footer or change the side by replacing the «» with the date tag. And if you want to add a specific date instead of the current date you can replace the «&D» tag with that date from the code.

10. Custom Header/Footer

Sub CustomHeader()
Dim myText As String
myText = InputBox("Enter your text here", "Enter Text")
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = myText
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = ""
End With
End Sub

When you run this code, it shows an input box that asks you to enter the text which you want to add as a header, and once you enter it click OK.

If you see this closely you have six different lines of code to choose the place for the header or footer. Let’s say if you want to add left-footer instead of center header simply replace the “myText” to that line of the code by replacing the «» from there.

Formatting Codes

These VBA codes will help you to format cells and ranges using some specific criteria and conditions.

11. Highlight Duplicates from Selection

Sub HighlightDuplicateValues()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Set myRange = Selection
For Each myCell In myRange
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, myCell.Value) > 1 Then
myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next myCell
End Sub

This macro will check each cell of your selection and highlight the duplicate values.  You can also change the color from the code.

12. Highlight the Active Row and Column

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strRange As String
strRange = Target.Cells.Address & "," & _
Target.Cells.EntireColumn.Address & "," & _
Target.Cells.EntireRow.Address
Range(strRange).Select
End Sub

I really love to use this macro code whenever I have to analyze a data table. Here are the quick steps to apply this code.

  1. Open VBE (ALT + F11).
  2. Go to Project Explorer (Ctrl + R, If hidden).
  3. Select your workbook & double click on the name of a particular worksheet in which you want to activate the macro.
  4. Paste the code into it and select the “BeforeDoubleClick” from event drop down menu.
  5. Close VBE and you are done.

Remember that, by applying this macro you will not able to edit the cell by double click.

13. Highlight Top 10 Values

Sub TopTen()
Selection.FormatConditions.AddTop10
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.TopBottom = xlTop10Top
.Rank = 10
.Percent = False
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Color = -16752384
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 13561798
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub

Just select a range and run this macro and it will highlight top 10 values with the green color.

14. Highlight Named Ranges

Sub HighlightRanges()
Dim RangeName As Name
Dim HighlightRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each RangeName In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Set HighlightRange = RangeName.RefersToRange
HighlightRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
Next RangeName
End Sub

If you are not sure about how many named ranges you have in your worksheet then you can use this code to highlight all of them.

15. Highlight Greater than Values

Sub HighlightGreaterThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox("Enter Greater Than Value", "Enter Value")
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, _
Operator:=xlGreater, Formula1:=i
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.Interior.Color = RGB(31, 218, 154)
End With
End Sub

Once you run this code it will ask you for the value from which you want to highlight all greater values.

16. Highlight Lower Than Values

Sub HighlightLowerThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox("Enter Lower Than Value", "Enter Value")
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add _
Type:=xlCellValue, _
Operator:=xlLower, _
Formula1:=i
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.Interior.Color = RGB(217, 83, 79)
End With
End Sub

Once you run this code it will ask you for the value from which you want to highlight all lower values.

17. Highlight Negative Numbers

Sub highlightNegativeNumbers()
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Rng In Selection
If WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(Rng) Then
If Rng.Value < 0 Then
Rng.Font.Color= -16776961
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

Select a range of cells and run this code. It will check each cell from the range and highlight all cells the where you have a negative number.

18. Highlight Specific Text

Sub highlightValue()
Dim myStr As String
Dim myRg As range
Dim myTxt As String
Dim myCell As range
Dim myChar As String
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
On Error Resume Next
If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count > 1 Then
myTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
Else
myTxt = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
End If
LInput: Set myRg = _
Application.InputBox _
("please select the data range:", "Selection Required", myTxt, , , , , 8)
If myRg Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
If myRg.Areas.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox "not support multiple columns"
GoTo LInput
End If
If myRg.Columns.Count <> 2 Then
MsgBox "the selected range can only contain two columns "
GoTo LInput
End If
For I = 0 To myRg.Rows.Count - 1
myStr = myRg.range("B1").Offset(I, 0).Value
With myRg.range("A1").Offset(I, 0)
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
For J = 1 To Len(.Text)
Mid(.Text, J, Len(myStr)) = myStrThen
.Characters(J, Len(myStr)).Font.ColorIndex = 3
Next
End With
Next I
End Sub

Suppose you have a large data set and you want to check for a particular value. For this, you can use this code. When you run it, you will get an input box to enter the value to search for.

19. Highlight Cells with Comments

Sub highlightCommentCells()
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments).Select
Selection.Style= "Note"
End Sub

To highlight all the cells with comments use this macro.

20. Highlight Alternate Rows in the Selection

Sub highlightAlternateRows()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Selection.Rows
If rng.Row Mod 2 = 1 Then
rng.Style = "20% -Accent1"
rng.Value = rng ^ (1 / 3)
Else
End If
Next rng
End Sub

By highlighting alternate rows you can make your data easily readable, and for this, you can use below VBA code. It will simply highlight every alternate row in selected range.

21. Highlight Cells with Misspelled Words

Sub HighlightMisspelledCells()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If Not Application.CheckSpelling(word:=rng.Text) Then
rng.Style = "Bad"
End If
Next rng
End Sub

If you find hard to check all the cells for spelling error then this code is for you. It will check each cell from the selection and highlight the cell where is a misspelled word.

22. Highlight Cells With Error in the Entire Worksheet

Sub highlightErrors()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
For Each rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If WorksheetFunction.IsError(rng) Then
i = i + 1
rng.Style = "bad"
End If
Next rng
MsgBox _
"There are total " & i _
& " error(s) in this worksheet."
End Sub

To highlight and count all the cells in which you have an error, this code will help you. Just run this code and it will return a message with the number error cells and highlight all the cells.

23. Highlight Cells with a Specific Text in Worksheet

Sub highlightSpecificValues()
Dim rng As range
Dim i As Integer
Dim c As Variant
c = InputBox("Enter Value To Highlight")
For Each rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If rng = c Then
rng.Style = "Note"
i = i + 1
End If
Next rng
MsgBox "There are total " & i & " " & c & " in this worksheet."
End Sub

This code will help you to count the cells which have a specific value which you will mention and after that highlight all those cells.

24. Highlight all the Blank Cells Invisible Space

Sub blankWithSpace()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If rng.Value = " " Then
rng.Style = "Note"
End If
Next rng
End Sub

Sometimes there are some cells which are blank but they have a single space and due to this, it’s really hard to identify them. This code will check all the cell in the worksheet and highlight all the cells which have a single space.

25. Highlight Max Value In The Range

Sub highlightMaxValue()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Selection
If rng = WorksheetFunction.Max(Selection) Then
rng.Style = "Good"
End If
Next rng
End Sub

It will check all the selected cells and highlight the cell with the maximum value.

26. Highlight Min Value In The Range

Sub Highlight_Min_Value()

Dim rng As Range

For Each rng In Selection
	If rng = WorksheetFunction.Min(Selection) Then
		rng.Style = "Good"
	End If
Next rng

End Sub

It will check all the selected cells and highlight the cell with the Minimum value.

27. Highlight Unique Values

Sub highlightUniqueValues()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Selection
rng.FormatConditions.Delete
Dim uv As UniqueValues
Set uv = rng.FormatConditions.AddUniqueValues
uv.DupeUnique = xlUnique
uv.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End Sub

This codes will highlight all the cells from the selection which has a unique value.

28. Highlight Difference in Columns

Sub columnDifference()
Range("H7:H8,I7:I8").Select
Selection.ColumnDifferences(ActiveCell).Select
Selection.Style= "Bad"
End Sub

Using this code you can highlight the difference between two columns (corresponding cells).

97. Convert Roman Numbers into Arabic Numbers

Sub convertToNumbers()
Dim rng As Range
Selection.Value = Selection.Value
For Each rng In Selection
If Not WorksheetFunction.IsNonText(rng) Then
rng.Value = WorksheetFunction.Arabic(rng)
End If
Next rng
End Sub

Sometimes it’s really hard to understand Roman numbers as serial numbers. This code will help you to convert roman numbers into Arabic numbers.

98. Remove Negative Signs

Sub removeNegativeSign()
Dim rng As Range
Selection.Value = Selection.Value
For Each rng In Selection
If WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(rng) Then
rng.Value = Abs(rng)
End If
Next rng

This code will simply check all the cell in the selection and convert all the negative numbers into positive. Just select a range and run this code.

99. Replace Blank Cells with Zeros

Sub replaceBlankWithZero()
Dim rng As Range
Selection.Value = Selection.Value
For Each rng In Selection
If rng = "" Or rng = " " Then
rng.Value = "0"
Else
End If
Next rng
End Sub

For data where you have blank cells, you can use the below code to add zeros in all those cells. It makes easier to use those cells in further calculations.

    How to write vba macro to copy data from one sheet to another without using “copy” command ?

  17. PNRao
    November 14, 2013 at 1:37 PM — Reply

    Hi Jaimin,

    You can use for loop to get the data from one sheet to another sheet. For instance, if you want to get the data of cells A1:A20 from Sheet2 to cells B1:B20 of sheet1.


    For iCntr=1 to 20
    Sheets1.Cells(iCntr,2).value=Sheets2.Cells(iCntr,1)
    Next

    Its depending up on your requirement. If you want to copy only few cells. you can do it without using for loop.

    However Copy command [Sheets2.Range(“A1:A10”).Copy Destination:=Sheets1.Range(“B1)] works more faster, you can copy the data including formats.

    Hope this helps!
    Thanks – PNRao!

    ‘loop until the cell is blank

    ‘If you want to add new worksheets from last worksheet
    Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
    ActiveSheet.Name = Sheets(«Index»).Range(«A» & iCntr)

    Sheets(«Index»).Activate
    ‘delete if any existing hyperlink
    Range(«A» & iCntr).Hyperlinks.Delete

    ‘add hyperlinks
    Sheets(«Index»).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Range(«A» & iCntr), Address:=»», _

    Loop

    Hi,
    first of all congrats for the amazing helpful website.
    I am wondering if you could help me with this VBA issue:
    1) Hypothesize we have in “sheet1” cell a1, a3, a5, a7 and so on with a gap of 2.
    2) I would like a Macro that links (instead of copy if possible) cell b1, b2, b3, b4 and so on of “sheet2” to cell a1, a3, a5 … of “sheet1” (basically removing the Gap)

    Hope I was clear.

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    Thanks-PNRao!

    Similar to PNRao response. I want to selectively pick data out of a column (the picks will be stepped apart by 3) , select the picks and paste to another column in contiguous fashion (meaning continuous-no step). This works in manually recording a macro and running it but I cannot make it work with programmed VBA language. Excel 2003.

    Hi Arc,
    You can use STEP statement. Here is the example code:

    Assuming you have data in Column A: A1,A4,A7,…..
    And you want to print in Column B: B1,B2,B3…

    Sub sbPrintColumnAByStep3InColumnB()
    Dim iCntr, jCntr, lastRow As Long
    lastRow = 50 ' Last Row of Column A with data:You can change this
    jCntr = 1 ' Counter for Column B
    For iCntr = 1 To lastRow Step 3
    Cells(jCntr, 2) = Cells(iCntr, 1)
    jCntr = jCntr + 1
    Next
    End Sub

    Hi Aslam,
    You can just check if the Column A value is <0 then print into Column B. Here is the Example:

    Sub sbPrintNegativeColumnAValuesInToColumnB()
    Dim iCntr, jCntr, lastRow As Long
    lastRow = 50 ‘ Last Row of Column A with data:You can change this
    For iCntr = 1 To lastRow
    If Cells(iCntr, 1) < 0 Then Cells(iCntr, 2) = Cells(iCntr, 1)
    Next
    End Sub

    Hi Ashish,

    I am assuming you have your Value at A1 and Percentages at B1,B2,B3 and you want to print the percentage of that values in C1,C2,C3.

    for this you can use simple formula in C1=A1*B1/100 [Example, if you have 200 in A1 and 10 in B1, this will pront 20 in C1]

    Sorry, your question is not clear, please provide more information. So that I can help you.

    Hi Satish,

    You can use Vlookup formula to achieve this. If you want to build your own function, you can loop through the each row and display the column data wherever its matching the given criteria.

    The sample code looks like this:

    Dim dtAVal as Date
    Dim lastRow as Long
    Dim blnFound as Boolean
    blnFound =False
    dtAVal = cdate(InputBox1.value) ' Your input date to find the respective data
    lastRow=200 'Your last row in the worksheet

    'looping through all rows and trying to get match row number
    For iCntr=1 to lastRow
    If Cells(iCntr,1)=dtAVal then
    blnFound =True
    exit For
    End if
    Next

    if blnFound =True then
    'Fill the respective data into other columns
    TextBox2.Value=Cells(iCntr,2) 'Column B
    TextBox3.Value=Cells(iCntr,3) 'Column C
    TextBox4.Value=Cells(iCntr,4) 'Column D

    end if

    Hope this helps!

    Hi,
    As I visit this website this is the best website for VBA developers.
    I have a problem I have a folder with about 700 excel workbooks as telephone bills. I want to first divide all workbooks into proper folders. how can I move these files in to proper folder when I run the macro first it ask me about the Source Folder, second wants to select the files then it ask the Destination folder. if it is possible please help me in this regard.

    Thanks in advance,

  52. PNRao
    April 27, 2014 at 12:47 PM — Reply

    Hi Lailuma,
    You can do this as explained below:
    Create 3 buttons in Worksheet
    Button1: Place at Range A3 – This is to select the Source Folder: Use the File dialog to pick the folder name and put the folder path into Range B3

    [vb]
    Set fldFolder = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    With fldFolder
    .ButtonName = «Hello choose a Folder Now»
    .Title = «Choose a Folder»
    .Show
    Range(«B3»)=.SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    [/vb]

    Button2: Place at Range A4 – This is to choose your files from the source folder: Use the File dialog to pick the multiple file names.
    [vb]
    Set fldFile = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    With fldFile
    .ButtonName = «Hello choose your Files Now»
    .Title = » Choose an Excel File»
    .Show
    For iCntr= 1 to .SelectedItems.Count
    Range(«B» iCntr+4 )=.SelectedItems(iCntr)
    Next
    End With
    [/vb]
    Now you have your file names ready to move into a another folder.
    Button3: Place at Range A5 – This is to choose your destination folder. use the the same method to choose a folder shown for Button1. And loop through the files in your worksheet and move the file.
    See the file handling examples to move the files from one location to another location.

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks-PNRao!

    Sub sbLoopThroughAllFilesInFolderGetData()
    Dim StrFolder As String
    StrFolder = Dir(«c:temp») ‘ Your folder name
    iCntr = 0
    Do While Len(StrFolder) > 0
    iCntr = iCntr + 1
    Set wb = Workbooks.Open(StrFolder) ‘open each file here
    Cells(iCntr, 1) = StrFolder ‘ this your file name
    Cells(iCntr, 2) = wb.Sheets(«Sheet1»).Range(«A1») ‘ this your data from Range A1

    Hi PNRao,

    I need some help on this. Okay, as example i have data in excel and this is only a part of them:

    Temp : (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 26 25, 24, 23, 22), (24, 25, 26, 30, 27, 28, 29, 25, 21, 19), (20, 22, 23, 36,30, 34, 35, 30, 25, 23), (24, 26, 30, 34, 28, 25, 20)

    These are temperature of a liquid. The temperature are increasing until the peak and then go down until certain temperature (one cycle). Then it is increasing and goes down again(next cycle). In these example there are 4 cycles. And it repeats until i have a few cycles.
    For every each of the temperature, i can calculate its volume.
    I try to write code to detect these cycles because i want to calculate the average volume for each cycle. But i don’t have idea how to start since i am new to VBA.

    Hi Rao,
    Help me with a script to add a comma after every 2words in a cell.
    Eg: Column A (How to add a comma after every two words in excel); so the result in Column B(How to, Add a, comma after, every two, words in, excel)

    Also another script: Column A (How to split cell after every three words and result in four different column and the rest in last column)
    so the result will be in Column B(How to split); Column C(Cell after every); Column D(three words and); Column E(result in four different column and the rest in last column)

    Answer for your first query:
    Sub sbUsage()
    lRow = 20 ‘Last row with data in Cloumn A
    For iCntr = 1 To lRow
    Range(“B” & iCntr) = fnCommasEvery2TwoWords(Range(“A” & iCntr))
    Next
    End Sub

    Function fnCommasEvery2TwoWords(ByVal strText As String)
    arrText = Split(strText)
    If UBound(arrText, 1) >= 2 Then
    strText = ”
    For iCntr = 0 To UBound(arrText, 1) Step 2
    If iCntr = 0 Then
    strText = arrText(iCntr) & ” ” & arrText(iCntr + 1)
    ElseIf iCntr + 1 <= UBound(arrText, 1) Then
    strText = strText & «, » & arrText(iCntr) & » » & arrText(iCntr + 1)
    Else
    strText = strText & «, » & arrText(iCntr)
    End If
    Next
    End If
    fnCommasEvery2TwoWords = strText
    End Function

    I hope, now you can solve the second query yourself.

    Hi James,

    You can use number formats:
    Assuming that you have 1000000 in Range A1:
    Sub GFormatNumbersWithCommas()

    MsgBox Format(Range(“A1”), “#,##0”)

    ‘OR
    Range(“B1”) = Range(“A1”)
    Range(“B1”).NumberFormat = “#,##0”

    End Sub

    Hi Vasu,
    You can use the same method to hide the sheets.
    Follow the below process for your requirement:
    -> Enter 0 at some range (Example at Range A1000)
    -> Add two activeX controls (Review Now, Complete)
    -> when user press the Review Now, check if range A1000= 0 then un hide the sheet to review
    -> when user press the ‘Complete’, enter 1 at A1000 and hide the sheet

    Hope this helps!
    Thanks-PNRao!

    Hi Vasu,

    You can not hide all sheets at any particular time, at least one sheet should be opened. Follow the below approach.
    -> Have a Home worksheet
    -> here you can provide the environment to choose a sheet and provide button to open it
    -> the below macro will help you to do this:
    Sub sbHideAllExceptOne()
    shtToShow = “SheetToShow” ‘Change this as per your requirement
    Sheets(shtToShow).Visible = True
    For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    If sht.Name shtToShow Then sht.Visible = False
    Next
    End Sub

    Thanks-PNRao!

    My second question is that how do i add a specific content in all the worksheets in an excel file. there may be different tabs in excel and they might varry. we have to run a loop which will open all the existing tabs in an excel sheet and add that specific content. some times there are 12 tabs and some times there are 15 or 16 or 20 or even more than that. Could you please help me with a code to solve this thing.

  115. Hello Rao,

    I am new to VB, need your help for the below mentioned problem.

    I have temperature dependent Material properties like Yield strength for example in Excel sheet A.

    The values are obtained for the required temperature by interpolating in that particular excel sheet A.

    Right now I am working on New Excel sheet B, where the results are to be displayed when the temperature value is entered.

    Problem is the the results are required for different temperature, which cant be done once you have linked to that sheet A, bcoz when you enter the required temperature value, old results are also getting modified, with respect to last entered value.

    Required your help to write one marco which selects the particular material in that sheet A and displays the value (Yield Strength)in sheet B in first row and also when selected for different temperature the results previous should remain as it isand display the latest results in second row.

    You can use ADO, to retrieve the the data and update into one worksheet. Please refer the below links:

    And some of these 100+ examples will help you to read and write the data in Excel.

    Please feel free to ask if in case of any questions you have. You can post example files (with dummy data) to get the exact solution.

    Name City
    John San Fran

    Hello,

    I am comparing a series of different materials across different year with varying amounts of dollars spent depending on the type of “contract”. These are then followed by 3 different teams, which each contain many people who “supply” the teams. I want to make these into a series of drop down menus. Meaning that once you click on one drop own menu, the next menu ill give you another choice.

    For example

    •Metal: Aluminum
    •Forecasted Change in Year 17: 10%
    •Type of Contract and it’s corresponding Spend 100,000 for fixed contracts, $50,000 for adjustable, etc.
    •Team: 3 teams…each has roughly 60 suppliers who supply each team. Each supplier also has 4 sets of data to follow it (individual total spend, adjusted spend, and two more for anything that may come up).

    Is this possible? I know this is a pain, but I’m hoping anyone might be willing to help me. Thank you!

    Hi there,

    First off, thanks a lot for this fantastic page.

    How can we find the last used row in a particular column within a specific range, lets say Range(“A3:E10”)? and likewise for the last used column in a row?

    That would be really helpful.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can disable all the application events by Application.EnableEvents = False.
    But worksheet events are user defined in the worksheet module or workbook modules. Please check and comment the codes to disable the worksheet events.

    Please provide the enough description of your requirement to understand better.
    Thanks-PNRao!

    HI,
    We have 3 sheets.

    Sheet1:
    Features John
    a L1
    b L2
    c
    d L4

    Sheet2:
    w x y z
    a 1
    b 1
    c 1
    d 1

    Sheet3:
    Area John
    w L1
    x
    y
    z

    Here a,b,c,d are features and w,x,y,z are areas. Sheet-2 is the mapping between feature and area. Suppose, in feature “a” John has L1 level. Now, we will check in Sheet2. In Sheet2 for “a” we need to check the nonblank cells, so here for “a” we have nonblank cell in “w” column. That means “a” has relation with “w”. So, in Sheet-3 “L1” value is stored in “w” row for John, like I have put “L1” in “w” row for John.
    We have to design a button to fill the entire Sheet-3 on a single click.
    Please help me.

    Thanks.

    Hi

    I am trying to use conditional formatting with VBA and a for or while loop. For example I have a worksheet which has dataset1 from ranges A1:Z3 which I want to use as the reference to be checked against. I have dataset2 which is from ranges A5:Z6 which I want to check against the first dataset1 in A1:Z3

    I have the following code which I am using;

    x = x + 1
    With Range(Cells(x + 1, y + 1), Cells(x + 1, y + 1)).FormatConditions.Add( _
    Type:=xlExpression, _
    Formula1:=”=$I3$I7″)
    .Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
    .Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0)

    End With

    I would like to replace the cells which are in the line Formula1:=”=$I3$I7″) with something which can be incremented.

    Table is Borrower’s logs of their individual payments as well as showing the remaining balance.

    Example: Columns are Date, Payment Amount, Balance(this may not show, I just have to Subtract another cell with is Principal Amount versus its Payment.

    Date Payment Amt Balance
    1,000.00

    Hi,

    I am new to VBA. And i feel interesting to study VBA while gone through this site.

    Now i try to modify my little projects in excel into in terms of VBA. My project is simple,

    I have a set of standard values in a sheet. With reference to this standard values, my result after 1 production is analysed for each row. Each row contains different item so i need to set different formula. Fortunately i had done it well :) . .

    Now my aim is,
    1) Copy each row into new sheet, (for eg: row1= A1:K1, row2= A2:K2…..row1=Ai: Ki). i need to copy only 1 row into new sheet…and each row contains formula. i need to copy this formula too. And the sheet name changes to item name( in first the column)

    2) Now i have 89 items (i.e.rows) to copy to different sheets. in the second sheet in my workbook is a commend box. where , if i click on a command box, its name is an item name, then corresponding sheet will activate. and i can edit it. all other sheets are on hide.

    3) if I enter 90th row once, these above procedures must be followed.

    So if i enter details in 90th row, and then click on command box in the same sheet, a new sheet with a copy of 90th row only generate. also this worksheet is saved under another command box on the second sheet.

    hoping you will understand what i mean.

    your earliest reply will be highly appreciated.

    thank you very much

    Hi, I am very new to VBA programming and am basically trying to self-learn from using your website. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information.

    I’m trying to create a macro that will look at all of the values in Colum F on Sheet 1 and if the value is > 0 then I want to copy that whole row to sheet 2. For instance, I have a table in sheet 1 that is 1000 rows long. In column F of that table, only 10 of those rows contain values that are greater than zero. I want to copy those 10 rows to Shwet 2 and I want them to be contiguous.

    I tried writing this program myself and got it to work somewhat. The problem I’m having is that I cannot figure out how to make it contiguous on sheet 2. And also it’s copying rows from sheet 1 that have no data, but they do have some type of formatting. I don’t want it to copy those rows.

    You can use the worksheet events to to call your macros in respective worksheet module:

    Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'Call your Macro here
MsgBox "Double Click"
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'Call your Macro here
MsgBox "When you Change the Selection"
End Sub

    Hi there:

    We have a business in Belize and import our inventory from the US. The cost of duty on the imports differs in percentage based upon a list of harmonized tariff codes. I have the list of tariff codes and the respective duty percentage for each.

    I also have the manufacturer’s product list with the respective tariff codes. I need to be able to quickly create a new spreadsheet which will calculate the “landed cost” of the manufacture’s product given the currency conversion of BZD to USD plus the cost of the duty.

    For example:

    The tariff spreadsheet might have a description of “Oil” with a tariff code of XYZ with an import duty of 15%. The product list has a price of US$5.00 for an item with the tariff code of XYZ

    I need to know how much that product costs me (cost plus duty) in Belize dollars for our POS system. The currency conversion is 1USD=2BZD.

    So the cost of the product needs to be first converted to Belize dollars and then the duty percentage added to it based upon the corresponding tariff code. So in this example US$5.00 is BZ$10.00, plus duty of 15% equals a “landed cost” of $11.50.

    There are a gazillion products and another gazillion tariff codes.

    I’m not sure where/how to even begin to tackle this task. Your help would be immensely appreciated.

  180. Hello,

    I need to take data stored in Excel files and populate (copy and paste ) the data into web forms, submit the form then loop through the enitre process until I have gone through the entire Excel file.

    So the Excel file will have a many number of rows but always 4 colums of data per row.

    I then need to:

    1) login to the site (),

    2) Navigate the site to get to the correct forms

    3) Insert the data from Excel into the correct form field (column 1 and 2 data goes to Field 1 & 2, Field 3 to selected from drop down box based on column 3, Field 4 data pasted from column 4)

    4) submit the data

    5) do the process again and again to complete the entire rows

    I want to create a macro for the above task. Hopefully the above points are helpful to understand my requirement.

    Please help me

Приветствую всех.

В этом посте я расскажу, что такое VBA и как с ним работать в Microsoft Excel 2007/2010 (для более старых версий изменяется лишь интерфейс — код, скорее всего, будет таким же) для автоматизации различной рутины.

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) — это упрощенная версия Visual Basic, встроенная в множество продуктов линейки Microsoft Office. Она позволяет писать программы прямо в файле конкретного документа. Вам не требуется устанавливать различные IDE — всё, включая отладчик, уже есть в Excel.

Еще при помощи Visual Studio Tools for Office можно писать макросы на C# и также встраивать их. Спасибо, FireStorm.

Сразу скажу — писать на других языках (C++/Delphi/PHP) также возможно, но требуется научится читать, изменять и писать файлы офиса — встраивать в документы не получится. А интерфейсы Microsoft работают через COM. Чтобы вы поняли весь ужас, вот Hello World с использованием COM.

Поэтому, увы, будем учить Visual Basic.

Чуть-чуть подготовки и постановка задачи

Итак, поехали. Открываем Excel.

Для начала давайте добавим в Ribbon панель «Разработчик». В ней находятся кнопки, текстовые поля и пр. элементы для конструирования форм.

Появилась вкладка.

Теперь давайте подумаем, на каком примере мы будем изучать VBA. Недавно мне потребовалось красиво оформить прайс-лист, выглядевший, как таблица. Идём в гугл, набираем «прайс-лист» и качаем любой, который оформлен примерно так (не сочтите за рекламу, пожалуйста):

То есть требуется, чтобы было как минимум две группы, по которым можно объединить товары (в нашем случае это будут Тип и Производитель — в таком порядке). Для того, чтобы предложенный мною алгоритм работал корректно, отсортируйте товары так, чтобы товары из одной группы стояли подряд (сначала по Типу, потом по Производителю).

Результат, которого хотим добиться, выглядит примерно так:

Разумеется, если смотреть прайс только на компьютере, то можно добавить фильтры и будет гораздо удобнее искать нужный товар. Однако мы хотим научится кодить и задача вполне подходящая, не так ли?

Кодим

Для начала требуется создать кнопку, при нажатии на которую будет вызываться наша програма. Кнопки находятся в панели «Разработчик» и появляются по кнопке «Вставить». Вам нужен компонент формы «Кнопка». Нажали, поставили на любое место в листе. Далее, если не появилось окно назначения макроса, надо нажать правой кнопкой и выбрать пункт «Назначить макрос». Назовём его FormatPrice. Важно, чтобы перед именем макроса ничего не было — иначе он создастся в отдельном модуле, а не в пространстве имен книги. В этому случае вам будет недоступно быстрое обращение к выделенному листу. Нажимаем кнопку «Новый».

И вот мы в среде разработки VB. Также её можно вызвать из контекстного меню командой «Исходный текст»/«View code».

Перед вами окно с заглушкой процедуры. Можете его развернуть. Код должен выглядеть примерно так:

Sub FormatPrice()End Sub

Напишем Hello World:

Sub FormatPrice()
    MsgBox "Hello World!"
End Sub

И запустим либо щелкнув по кнопке (предварительно сняв с неё выделение), либо клавишей F5 прямо из редактора.

Тут, пожалуй, следует отвлечься на небольшой ликбез по поводу синтаксиса VB. Кто его знает — может смело пропустить этот раздел до конца. Основное отличие Visual Basic от Pascal/C/Java в том, что команды разделяются не ;, а переносом строки или двоеточием (:), если очень хочется написать несколько команд в одну строку. Чтобы понять основные правила синтаксиса, приведу абстрактный код.

Примеры синтаксиса

' Процедура. Ничего не возвращает
' Перегрузка в VBA отсутствует
Sub foo(a As String, b As String)
    ' Exit Sub ' Это значит "выйти из процедуры"
    MsgBox a + ";" + b
End Sub' Функция. Вовращает Integer
Function LengthSqr(x As Integer, y As Integer) As Integer
    ' Exit Function
    LengthSqr = x * x + y * y
End FunctionSub FormatPrice()
    Dim s1 As String, s2 As String
    s1 = "str1"
    s2 = "str2"
    If s1 <> s2 Then
        foo "123", "456" ' Скобки при вызове процедур запрещены
    End IfDim res As sTRING ' Регистр в VB не важен. Впрочем, редактор Вас поправит
    Dim i As Integer
    ' Цикл всегда состоит из нескольких строк
    For i = 1 To 10
        res = res + CStr(i) ' Конвертация чего угодно в String
        If i = 5 Then Exit For
    Next iDim x As Double
    x = Val("1.234") ' Парсинг чисел
    x = x + 10
    MsgBox xOn Error Resume Next ' Обработка ошибок - игнорировать все ошибки
    x = 5 / 0
    MsgBox xOn Error GoTo Err ' При ошибке перейти к метке Err
    x = 5 / 0
    MsgBox "OK!"
    GoTo ne

Err:
    MsgBox 

"Err!"

ne:

On Error GoTo 0 ' Отключаем обработку ошибок

    ' Циклы бывает, какие захотите
    Do While True
        Exit DoLoop 'While True
    Do 'Until False
        Exit Do
    Loop Until False
    ' А вот при вызове функций, от которых хотим получить значение, скобки нужны.
    ' Val также умеет возвращать Integer
    Select Case LengthSqr(Len("abc"), Val("4"))
    Case 24
        MsgBox "0"
    Case 25
        MsgBox "1"
    Case 26
        MsgBox "2"
    End Select' Двухмерный массив.
    ' Можно также менять размеры командой ReDim (Preserve) - см. google
    Dim arr(1 to 10, 5 to 6) As Integer
    arr(1, 6) = 8Dim coll As New Collection
    Dim coll2 As Collection
    coll.Add "item", "key"
    Set coll2 = coll ' Все присваивания объектов должны производится командой Set
    MsgBox coll2("key")
    Set coll2 = New Collection
    MsgBox coll2.Count
End Sub

Грабли-1. При копировании кода из IDE (в английском Excel) есь текст конвертируется в 1252 Latin-1. Поэтому, если хотите сохранить русские комментарии — надо сохранить крокозябры как Latin-1, а потом открыть в 1251.

Грабли-2. Т.к. VB позволяет использовать необъявленные переменные, я всегда в начале кода (перед всеми процедурами) ставлю строчку Option Explicit. Эта директива запрещает интерпретатору заводить переменные самостоятельно.

Грабли-3. Глобальные переменные можно объявлять только до первой функции/процедуры. Локальные — в любом месте процедуры/функции.

Еще немного дополнительных функций, которые могут пригодится: InPos, Mid, Trim, LBound, UBound. Также ответы на все вопросы по поводу работы функций/их параметров можно получить в MSDN.

Надеюсь, что этого Вам хватит, чтобы не пугаться кода и самостоятельно написать какое-нибудь домашнее задание по информатике. По ходу поста я буду ненавязчиво знакомить Вас с новыми конструкциями.

Кодим много и под Excel

В этой части мы уже начнём кодить нечто, что умеет работать с нашими листами в Excel. Для начала создадим отдельный лист с именем result (лист с данными назовём data). Теперь, наверное, нужно этот лист очистить от того, что на нём есть. Также мы «выделим» лист с данными, чтобы каждый раз не писать длинное обращение к массиву с листами.

Sub FormatPrice()
    Sheets("result").Cells.Clear
    Sheets("data").Activate
End Sub

Работа с диапазонами ячеек

Вся работа в Excel VBA производится с диапазонами ячеек. Они создаются функцией Range и возвращают объект типа Range. У него есть всё необходимое для работы с данными и/или оформлением. Кстати сказать, свойство Cells листа — это тоже Range.

Примеры работы с Range

Sheets("result").Activate
Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("A1")
r.Value = "123"
Set r = Range("A3,A5")
r.Font.Color = vbRed
r.Value = "456"
Set r = Range("A6:A7")
r.Value = "=A1+A3"

Теперь давайте поймем алгоритм работы нашего кода. Итак, у каждой строчки листа data, начиная со второй, есть некоторые данные, которые нас не интересуют (ID, название и цена) и есть две вложенные группы, к которым она принадлежит (тип и производитель). Более того, эти строки отсортированы. Пока мы забудем про пропуски перед началом новой группы — так будет проще. Я предлагаю такой алгоритм:

  1. Считали группы из очередной строки.
  2. Пробегаемся по всем группам в порядке приоритета (вначале более крупные)
    1. Если текущая группа не совпадает, вызываем процедуру AddGroup(i, name), где i — номер группы (от номера текущей до максимума), name — её имя. Несколько вызовов необходимы, чтобы создать не только наш заголовок, но и всё более мелкие.
  3. После отрисовки всех необходимых заголовков делаем еще одну строку и заполняем её данными.

Для упрощения работы рекомендую определить следующие функции-сокращения:

Function GetCol(Col As Integer) As String
    GetCol = Chr(Asc("A") + Col)
End FunctionFunction GetCellS(Sheet As String, Col As Integer, Row As Integer) As Range
    Set GetCellS = Sheets(Sheet).Range(GetCol(Col) + CStr(Row))
End FunctionFunction GetCell(Col As Integer, Row As Integer) As Range
    Set GetCell = Range(GetCol(Col) + CStr(Row))
End Function

Далее определим глобальную переменную «текущая строчка»: Dim CurRow As Integer. В начале процедуры её следует сделать равной единице. Еще нам потребуется переменная-«текущая строка в data», массив с именами групп текущей предыдущей строк. Потом можно написать цикл «пока первая ячейка в строке непуста».

Глобальные переменные

Option Explicit ' про эту строчку я уже рассказывал
Dim CurRow As Integer
Const GroupsCount As Integer = 2
Const DataCount As Integer = 3

FormatPrice

Sub FormatPrice()
    Dim I As Integer ' строка в data
    CurRow = 1
    Dim Groups(1 To GroupsCount) As String
    Dim PrGroups(1 To GroupsCount) As String

    Sheets(

"data").Activate
    I = 2
    Do While True
        If GetCell(0, I).Value = "" Then Exit Do
        ' ...
        I = I + 1
    Loop
End Sub

Теперь надо заполнить массив Groups:

На месте многоточия

Dim I2 As Integer
For I2 = 1 To GroupsCount
    Groups(I2) = GetCell(I2, I)
Next I2
' ...
For I2 = 1 To GroupsCount ' VB не умеет копировать массивы
    PrGroups(I2) = Groups(I2)
Next I2
I =  I + 1

И создать заголовки:

На месте многоточия в предыдущем куске

For I2 = 1 To GroupsCount
    If Groups(I2) <> PrGroups(I2) Then
        Dim I3 As Integer
        For I3 = I2 To GroupsCount
            AddHeader I3, Groups(I3)
        Next I3
        Exit For
    End If
Next I2

Не забудем про процедуру AddHeader:

Перед FormatPrice

Sub AddHeader(Ty As Integer, Name As String)
    GetCellS("result", 1, CurRow).Value = Name
    CurRow = CurRow + 1
End Sub

Теперь надо перенести всякую информацию в result

For I2 = 0 To DataCount - 1
    GetCellS("result", I2, CurRow).Value = GetCell(I2, I)
Next I2

Подогнать столбцы по ширине и выбрать лист result для показа результата

После цикла в конце FormatPrice

Sheets("Result").Activate
Columns.AutoFit

Всё. Можно любоваться первой версией.

Некрасиво, но похоже. Давайте разбираться с форматированием. Сначала изменим процедуру AddHeader:

Sub AddHeader(Ty As Integer, Name As String)
    Sheets("result").Range("A" + CStr(CurRow) + ":C" + CStr(CurRow)).Merge
    ' Чтобы не заводить переменную и не писать каждый раз длинный вызов
    ' можно воспользоваться блоком With
    With GetCellS("result", 0, CurRow)
        .Value = Name
        .Font.Italic = True
        .Font.Name = "Cambria"
        Select Case Ty
        Case 1 ' Тип
            .Font.Bold = True
            .Font.Size = 16
        Case 2 ' Производитель
            .Font.Size = 12
        End Select
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    End With
    CurRow = CurRow + 1
End Sub

Уже лучше:

Осталось только сделать границы. Тут уже нам требуется работать со всеми объединёнными ячейками, иначе бордюр будет только у одной:

Поэтому чуть-чуть меняем код с добавлением стиля границ:

Sub AddHeader(Ty As Integer, Name As String)
    With Sheets("result").Range("A" + CStr(CurRow) + ":C" + CStr(CurRow))
        .Merge
        .Value = Name
        .Font.Italic = True
        .Font.Name = "Cambria"
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenterSelect Case Ty
        Case 1 ' Тип
            .Font.Bold = True
            .Font.Size = 16
            .Borders(xlTop).Weight = xlThick
        Case 2 ' Производитель
            .Font.Size = 12
            .Borders(xlTop).Weight = xlMedium
        End Select
        .Borders(xlBottom).Weight = xlMedium ' По убыванию: xlThick, xlMedium, xlThin, xlHairline
    End With
    CurRow = CurRow + 1
End Sub

Осталось лишь добится пропусков перед началом новой группы. Это легко:

В начале FormatPrice

Dim I As Integer ' строка в  data
CurRow = 0 ' чтобы не было пропуска в самом начале
Dim Groups(1 To GroupsCount) As String

В цикле расстановки заголовков

If Groups(I2) <> PrGroups(I2) Then
    CurRow = CurRow + 1
    Dim I3 As Integer

В точности то, что и хотели.

Надеюсь, что эта статья помогла вам немного освоится с программированием для Excel на VBA. Домашнее задание — добавить заголовки «ID, Название, Цена» в результат. Подсказка: CurRow = 0 CurRow = 1.

Файл можно скачать тут (min.us) или тут (Dropbox). Не забудьте разрешить исполнение макросов. Если кто-нибудь подскажет человеческих файлохостинг, залью туда.

Спасибо за внимание.

Буду рад конструктивной критике в комментариях.

UPD: Перезалил пример на Dropbox и min.us.

UPD2: На самом деле, при вызове процедуры с одним параметром скобки можно поставить. Либо использовать конструкцию Call Foo(«bar», 1, 2, 3) — тут скобки нужны постоянно.

Источник

Памятка для начинающих по коду VBA Excel. Краткий справочник по часто используемым выражениям при написании программного кода.

Краткий справочник (памятка) позволяет быстро найти нужное выражение (оператор, функцию, метод) для копирования и вставки в код VBA Excel при написании программы.

Обращение к ячейке

Способы обращения к диапазону в виде одной ячейки на примере ячейки B5 на активном листе:

Range(«B5»)

[B5]

Cells(5, 2)

Cells(5, «B»)

Обращение к ячейке на неактивном листе активной книги:

Worksheets(«Имя листа»).Range(«B5») = 123

Обращение к ячейке в неактивной книге:

Workbooks(«Книга2.xlsm»).Worksheets(«Имя листа»).Range(«B5») = 123

Обращение к ячейке в неактивной текущей книге с исполняемым кодом:

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(«Имя листа»).Range(«B5») = 123

"Имя листа" — это имя на ярлыке листа, которое в проводнике проекта VBA отображается в скобках.

Обращение к диапазону

Способы обращения к диапазону на активном листе:

‘смежный диапазон

Range(«B5:E10»)

[B5:E10]

Range(Cells(5, 2), Cells(10, 5))

Range(Cells(5, «B»), Cells(10, «E»))

‘несмежный диапазон

Range(«B5:E10, G2:I7, D12:F17»)

Application.Union([B5:E10], [G2:I7], [D12:F17])

С помощью метода Application.Union можно объединить в несмежный диапазон и выражения типа Range(Cells(5, 2), Cells(10, 5)).

Способы обращения к диапазону на неактивном листе и в неактивной книге те же, что и для диапазона в виде одной ячейки (смотрите выше).

Обмен значениями

Ячейка-переменная-ячейка

Диапазон-массив-диапазон

Dim arr

arr = Range(«A1:E5»)

Range(«A7:E11») = arr

Аналог Ctrl+стрелка

Аналог сочетания клавиш Ctrl+стрелка — свойство End объекта Range:

Dim myRange As Range, a As String

Set myRange = Range(«D10»).End(xlDown | xlToLeft | xlToRight | xlUp)

a = Range(«D10»).End(xlDown | xlToLeft | xlToRight | xlUp).Address

В качестве аргумента свойства End оставляем одну константу в зависимости от нужного направления.

Последняя строка таблицы

Варианты определения номера последней строки таблицы:

Dim n as Long

n = Range(«A1»).CurrentRegion.Rows.Count

n = Range(«A1»).End(xlDown).Row

n = Cells(Rows.Count, «A»).End(xlUp).Row

Отключение обновлений экрана

Отключение обновлений экрана позволяет ускорить длинную процедуру и скрыть мельтешение (мерцание) экрана во время ее выполнения:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    операторы

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Отмена оповещений и сообщений

Отмена оповещений и сообщений в ходе выполнения процедуры:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

    операторы

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Например, при закрытии книги Excel из кода VBA без сохранения не будет появляться диалоговое окно с предложением сохранить книгу перед закрытием.

InputBox и MsgBox

Dim a As String

a = InputBox(«Напишите что-нибудь:»)

MsgBox a

Скрыть лист

‘Скрыть лист

Sheets(«Лист1»).Visible = False

‘Отобразить лист

Sheets(«Лист1»).Visible = True

Защита листа

‘Защитить лист

Worksheets(«Лист1»).Protect

‘Снять защиту листа

Worksheets(«Лист1»).Unprotect

Пользовательская форма

Памятка по работе с формой:

‘Загрузить (открыть) форму в модальном окне

UserForm1.Show

‘Загрузить (открыть) форму в немодальном окне

UserForm1.Show 0

‘Скрыть форму

UserForm1.Hide

Me.Hide

‘Показать скрытую форму

UserForm1.Show

‘Выгрузить (закрыть) форму

Unload UserForm1

Unload Me

Немодальное окно можно скрыть и закрыть как из модуля формы, так и из других модулей. Модальное окно можно скрыть и закрыть только из модуля формы. Ключевое слово Me используется только в модуле формы.

Удаление строк и столбцов

‘Удалить строку №9

Cells(9, 4).EntireRow.Delete

‘Удалить столбец №4

Cells(9, 4).EntireColumn.Delete

Открыть папку или файл

Открыть папку из кода VBA Excel или любой файл по его расширению в программе по умолчанию для просмотра:

‘Открыть папку

ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink («C:Тестовая»)

‘Открыть файл

ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink («C:ТестоваяДокумент1.docx»)

Закрыть все книги

Закрыть все книги Excel без сохранения изменений, кроме текущей книги с кодом:

Dim myWB As Workbook

For Each myWB In Workbooks

    If Not myWB Is ThisWorkbook Then myWB.Close False

Next

Чтобы закрыть все книги с сохранением изменений, необходимо заменить False на True.
