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)

About the Author

puneet one point one

Puneet is using Excel since his college days. He helped thousands of people to understand the power of the spreadsheets and learn Microsoft Excel. You can find him online, tweeting about Excel, on a running track, or sometimes hiking up a mountain.

В этом уроке я покажу Вам самые популярные макросы в VBA Excel, которые вы сможете использовать для оптимизации своей работы. VBA — это язык программирования, который может использоваться для расширения возможностей MS Excel и других приложений MS Office. Это чрезвычайно полезно для пользователей MS Excel, поскольку VBA может использоваться для автоматизации вашей работы и значительно увеличить Вашу эффективность. В этой статье Вы познакомитесь с VBA и я вам покажу некоторые из наиболее полезных, готовых к использованию примеров VBA. Вы сможете использовать эти примеры для создания собственных скриптов, соответствующих Вашим потребностям.

Вам не нужен опыт программирования, чтобы воспользоваться информаций из этой статьи, но вы должны иметь базовые знания Excel. Если вы еще учитесь работать с Excel, я бы рекомендовал Вам прочитать статью 20 формул Excel, которые вам нeобходимо выучить сейчас, чтобы узнать больше о функциональных возможностях Excel.

Я подготовил для вас несколько самых полезных примеров VBA Excel с большой функциональностью, которую вы сможете использовать для оптимизации своей работы. Чтобы их использовать, вам необходимо записать их в файл. Следующий параграф посвящен установке макроса Excel. Пропустите эту часть, если вы уже знакомы с этим.

Table of Contents

Как включить макросы в Excel

В Excel нажмите комбинацию клавиш alt + F11. Это приведет вас к редактору VBA в MS Excel. Затем щелкните правой кнопкой мыши папку Microsoft Excel Objects слева и выберите Insert => Module. Это место, где сохраняются макросы. Чтобы использовать макрос, вам нужно сохранить документ Excel как макрос. Из табуляции File => Save as, выберите Save as macro-enabled Workbok (расширение .xlsm) Теперь пришло время написать свой первый макрос!

1. Копирование данных из одного файла в другой.

Очень полезный макрос, поскольку он показывает, как скопировать ряд данных изнутри vba и как создать и назвать новую книгу. Вы можете изменить этот макрос в соответствии с вашими собственными требованиями:

Sub CopyFiletoAnotherWorkbook()
    
        Sheets("Example 1").Range("B4:C15").Copy
    
        Workbooks.Add
    
        ActiveSheet.Paste
    
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:TempMyNewBook.xlsx"
    
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

2. Отображение скрытых строк

Иногда большие файлы Excel можно содержать скрытые строки для большей ясности И для лучшего удобства пользователей. Вот один макрос, который отобразит все строки из активной рабочей таблицы:

Sub ShowHiddenRows()
    Columns.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
    Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End Sub

3. Удаление пустых строк и столбов

Пустые строки в Excel — может быть проблемой для обработки данных. Вот как избавиться от них:

Sub DeleteEmptyRowsAndColumns()
    
        Dim MyRange As Range
        Dim iCounter As Long
    
        Set MyRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        
        For iCounter = MyRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
    
           If Application.CountA(Rows(iCounter).EntireRow) = 0 Then
               Rows(iCounter).Delete
               
               
           End If
    
        Next iCounter
    
        For iCounter = MyRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
    
               If Application.CountA(Columns(iCounter).EntireColumn) = 0 Then
                Columns(iCounter).Delete
               End If
    
        Next iCounter      
End Sub

4. Нахождение пустых ячеек

Sub FindEmptyCell()
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
       Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
          ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
       Loop
End Sub

#### 5. Заполнение пустых ячеек

Как упоминалось ранее, пустые ячейки препятствуют обработке данных и созданию сводных таблиц. Вот один примерный код, который заменяет все пустые ячейки на 0. Этот макрос имеет очень большое приложение, потому что Вы можете использовать его для поиска и замены результатов N/A, а также других символов, таких как точки, запятые или повторяющиеся значения:

Sub FindAndReplace()
    
        Dim MyRange As Range
        Dim MyCell As Range
    
        Select Case MsgBox("Can't Undo this action.  " & _
                            "Save Workbook First?", vbYesNoCancel)
            Case Is = vbYes
            ThisWorkbook.Save
            Case Is = vbCancel
            Exit Sub
        End Select
    
        Set MyRange = Selection
    
        For Each MyCell In MyRange
    
            If Len(MyCell.Value) = 0 Then
                MyCell = 0
            End If
    
        Next MyCell
End Sub

#### 6. Сортировка данных

Следующий макрос сортирует по возрастанию все числа из столбца активной ячейки. Просто дважды нажмите любую ячейку из столбца, который вы хотите отсортировать.

NB: Здесь нам нужно поставить этот код в Sheet1 (папка Microsoft Excel Objects), а не в Module1 (папка Modules):

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick (ByVal Target as Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    
        Dim LastRow As Long
    
        LastRow = Cells (Rows.Count, 1) .End (xlUp) .Row
    
        Rows ("6:" & LastRow) .Sort _
        Key1: = Cells (6, ActiveCell.Column), _
        Order1: = xlAscending
End Sub

#### 7. Удаление пустых пространств

Иногда данные в книге содержат дополнительные пробелы (whitespace charachters), которые могут мешать анализу данных и коррумпировать формулы. Вот один макрос, который удалит все пробелы из предварительно выбранного диапазона ячеек:

Sub TrimTheSpaces()
    
        Dim MyRange As Range
        Dim MyCell As Range
    
        Select Case MsgBox("Can't Undo this action.  " & _
                            "Save Workbook First?", vbYesNoCancel)
            Case Is = vbYes
            ThisWorkbook.Save
            Case Is = vbCancel
            Exit Sub
        End Select
    
        Set MyRange = Selection
    
        For Each MyCell In MyRange
    
            If Not IsEmpty(MyCell) Then
                MyCell = Trim(MyCell)
            End If
    
        Next MyCell
End Sub

#### 8. Выделение дубликатов цветом

Иногда в нескольких столбцах, которые мы хотели бы осветить, есть повторяющиеся значения. Этот макрос делает именно это:

Sub HighlightDuplicates()
    
        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

#### 9. Выделение десяти самых высоких чисел

Этот код будет отображать десять самых высоких чисел из набора ячеек:

Sub TopTen()
    Selection.FormatConditions.AddTop10
    Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
        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

Вы можете легко настроить код, чтобы выделить различное количество чисел.

#### 10. Выделение данных больших чем данные число

Когда вы запустите этот код, появится окно. Вам надо написать число, которое вы хотите сравнить с выбранными ячейками.

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).SetFirstPriority
        With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
            .Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
            .Interior.Color = RGB(31, 218, 154)
        End With
End Sub

Вы тоже можете настроить этот код, чтобы выделить более низкие чисел.

#### 11. Выделение ячеек комментариями
Простой макрос, который выделяет все ячейки, содержащие комментарии:

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

#### 12. Выделение ячеек со словами с ошибками

Это очень полезно, когда вы работаете с функциями, которые принимают строки, однако кто-то ввел строку с ошибкой, и ваши формулы не работают. Вот как решить эту проблему:

 Sub ColorMispelledCells()
    For Each cl In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        If Not Application.CheckSpelling(Word:=cl.Text) Then _
        cl.Interior.ColorIndex = 28
    Next cl
End Sub

13. Создание сводной таблицы

Вот как создать сводную таблицу в MS Excel (версия 2007). Особенно полезно, когда вы делаете индивидуальный отчет каждый день. Вы можете оптимизировать создание сводной таблицы следующим образом:

Sub PivotTableForExcel2007()
    Dim SourceRange As Range
    Set SourceRange = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A3:N86")
    ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create( _
    SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
    SourceData:=SourceRange, _
    Version:=xlPivotTableVersion12).CreatePivotTable _
    TableDestination:="", _
    TableName:="", _
    DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion12
End Sub

14. Отправка активного файла по электронной почте

Мой любимый код VBA. Он позволяет вам прикреплять и отправлять файл, с которым вы работаете, с предопределенным адресом электронной почты, заголовком сообщения и телом сообщения! Сначала Вам нужно сделать референцию в Excel на Microsoft Outlook (в редакторе Excel VBA, нажмите tools => references и выберите Microsoft Outlook).

Sub SendFIleAsAttachment()
    
    
        Dim OLApp As Outlook.Application
        Dim OLMail As Object
    
        Set OLApp = New Outlook.Application
        Set OLMail = OLApp.CreateItem(0)
        OLApp.Session.Logon  
    
        With OLMail
        .To = "admin@datapigtechnologies.com; mike@datapigtechnologies.com"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "This is the Subject line"
        .Body = "Hi there"
        .Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
        .Display  
        End With
    
        Set OLMail = Nothing
        Set OLApp = Nothing
End Sub

15. Вставка всех графиков Excel в презентацию PowerPoint

Очень удобный макрос, который позволяет вам добавлять все ваши графики Excel в презентацию Powerpoint одним щелчком мыши:

Sub SendExcelFiguresToPowerPoint()
    
    
        Dim PP As PowerPoint.Application
        Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
        Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
        Dim i As Integer
    
        Sheets("Slide Data").Select
            If ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count < 1 Then
                MsgBox "No charts existing the active sheet"
                Exit Sub
            End If
    
        Set PP = New PowerPoint.Application
        Set PPPres = PP.Presentations.Add
        PP.Visible = True
    
            For i = 1 To ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count
            
                ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(i).Chart.CopyPicture _
                Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
                Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:1"))
            
                ppSlideCount = PPPres.Slides.Count
                Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
                PPSlide.Select
            
                PPSlide.Shapes.Paste.Select
                PP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
                PP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
            Next i
    
        Set PPSlide = Nothing
        Set PPPres = Nothing
        Set PP = Nothing
End Sub

16. Вставка таблицы Excel в MS Word

Таблицы Excel обычно помещаются внутри текстовых документов. Вот один автоматический способ экспорта таблицы Excel в MS Word:

 Sub ExcelTableInWord()
    
    
        Dim MyRange As Excel.Range
        Dim wd As Word.Application
        Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
        Dim WdRange As Word.Range
    
       Sheets("Revenue Table").Range("B4:F10").Cop
    
        Set wd = New Word.Application
        Set wdDoc = wd.Documents.Open _
        (ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "PasteTable.docx")
        wd.Visible = True
    
        Set WdRange = wdDoc.Bookmarks("DataTableHere").Rangе
    
        On Error Resume Next
        WdRange.Tables(1).Delete
        WdRange.Paste 
    
        WdRange.Tables(1).Columns.SetWidth _
        (MyRange.Width / MyRange.Columns.Count), wdAdjustSameWidth
    
        wdDoc.Bookmarks.Add "DataTableHere", WdRange
    
        Set wd = Nothing
        Set wdDoc = Nothing
        Set WdRange = Nothing
End Sub

17. Извлечение слов из текста

Мы можем использовать формулы, если хотим извлечь определенное количество символов. Но что, если мы хотим извлечь только одно слово из предложения или диапазон слов в ячейке? Для этого мы можем сами создать функцию Excel с помощью VBA. Это одна из самых удобных функций VBA, поскольку она позволяет создавать собственные формулы, которые отсутствуют в MS Excel. Давайте продолжим и создадим две функции: findword() и findwordrev():

Function FindWord(Source As String, Position As Integer) As String
     On Error Resume Next
     FindWord = Split(WorksheetFunction.Trim(Source), " ")(Position - 1)
     On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Function FindWordRev(Source As String, Position As Integer) As String
     Dim Arr() As String
     Arr = VBA.Split(WorksheetFunction.Trim(Source), " ")
     On Error Resume Next
     FindWordRev = Arr(UBound(Arr) - Position + 1)
     On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Отлично, мы уже создали две новые функции в Excel! Теперь попробуйте использовать их в Excel. Функция = FindWordRev (A1,1) берет последнее слово из ячейки A1. Функция = FindWord (A1,3) берет третье слово из ячейки A1 и т. Д.

18. Защита данных в MS Excel

Иногда мы хотим защитить данных нашего файла, чтобы только мы могли его изменять. Вот как это сделать с VBA:

Sub ProtectSheets()
    
        Dim ws As Worksheet
    
        For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    
        ws.Protect Password:="1234"
        Next ws
End Sub

Поздравления! Поскольку вы все еще читаете это, вы действительно заинтересованы в изучении VBA. Как вы уже сами видели, язык программирования VBA чрезвычайно полезен и может сэкономить нам много времени. Надеюсь, вы нашли эту информацию полезной и использовали ее, чтобы стать мастером MS Excel, VBA и компьютерных наук в целом.

Excel Macro / VBA FAQs

How to write VBA code (Macros) in Excel?

To write VBA code in Excel open up the VBA Editor (ALT + F11). Type “Sub HelloWorld”, Press Enter, and you’ve created a Macro! OR Copy and paste one of the procedures listed on this page into the code window.

What is Excel VBA?

VBA is the programming language used to automate Excel.

How to use VBA to automate Excel?

You use VBA to automate Excel by creating Macros. Macros are blocks of code that complete certain tasks.


Practice VBA

You can practice VBA with our interactive VBA tutorial.

practice vba macros

Using Excel Macros can speed up work and save you a lot of time.

One way of getting the VBA code is to record the macro and take the code it generates. However, that code by macro recorder is often full of code that is not really needed. Also macro recorder has some limitations.

So it pays to have a collection of useful VBA macro codes that you can have in your back pocket and use it when needed.

While writing an Excel VBA macro code may take some time initially, once it’s done, you can keep it available as a reference and use it whenever you need it next.

In this massive article, I am going to list some useful Excel macro examples that I need often and keep stashed away in my private vault.

I will keep updating this tutorial with more macro examples. If you think something should be on the list, just leave a comment.

You can bookmark this page for future reference.

Now before I get into the Macro Example and give you the VBA code, let me first show you how to use these example codes.

Using the Code from Excel Macro Examples

Here are the steps you need to follow to use the code from any of the examples:

  • Open the Workbook in which you want to use the macro.
  • Hold the ALT key and press F11. This opens the VB Editor.
  • Right-click on any of the objects in the project explorer.
  • Go to Insert –> Module.
  • Copy and Paste the code in the Module Code Window.

In case the example says that you need to paste the code in the worksheet code window, double click on the worksheet object and copy paste the code in the code window.

Once you have inserted the code in a workbook, you need to save it with a .XLSM or .XLS extension.

How to Run the Macro

Once you have copied the code in the VB Editor, here are the steps to run the macro:

  • Go to the Developer tab.
  • Click on Macros.

VBA Excel Macro Examples - Developer

  • In the Macro dialog box, select the macro you want to run.
  • Click on Run button.

VBA Excel Macro Examples - Run the Macro

In case you can’t find the developer tab in the ribbon, read this tutorial to learn how to get it.

Related Tutorial: Different ways to run a macro in Excel.

In case the code is pasted in the worksheet code window, you don’t need to worry about running the code. It will automatically run when the specified action occurs.

Now, let’s get into the useful macro examples that can help you automate work and save time.

Note: You will find many instances of an apostrophe (‘) followed by a line or two. These are comments that are ignored while running the code and are placed as notes for self/reader.

In case you find any error in the article or the code, please be awesome and let me know.

Excel Macro Examples

Below macro examples are covered in this article:

Unhide All Worksheets at One Go

If you are working in a workbook that has multiple hidden sheets, you need to unhide these sheets one by one. This could take some time in case there are many hidden sheets.

Here is the code that will unhide all the worksheets in the workbook.

'This code will unhide all sheets in the workbook
Sub UnhideAllWoksheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next ws
End Sub

The above code uses a VBA loop (For Each) to go through each worksheets in the workbook. It then changes the visible property of the worksheet to visible.

Here is a detailed tutorial on how to use various methods to unhide sheets in Excel.

Hide All Worksheets Except the Active Sheet

If you’re working on a report or dashboard and you want to hide all the worksheet except the one that has the report/dashboard, you can use this macro code.

'This macro will hide all the worksheet except the active sheet
Sub HideAllExceptActiveSheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name <> ActiveSheet.Name Then ws.Visible = xlSheetHidden
Next ws
End Sub

Sort Worksheets Alphabetically Using VBA

If you have a workbook with many worksheets and you want to sort these alphabetically, this macro code can come in really handy. This could be the case if you have sheet names as years or employee names or product names.

'This code will sort the worksheets alphabetically
Sub SortSheetsTabName()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ShCount As Integer, i As Integer, j As Integer
ShCount = Sheets.Count
For i = 1 To ShCount - 1
For j = i + 1 To ShCount
If Sheets(j).Name < Sheets(i).Name Then
Sheets(j).Move before:=Sheets(i)
End If
Next j
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Protect All Worksheets At One Go

If you have a lot of worksheets in a workbook and you want to protect all the sheets, you can use this macro code.

It allows you to specify the password within the code. You will need this password to unprotect the worksheet.

'This code will protect all the sheets at one go
Sub ProtectAllSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim password As String
password = "Test123" 'replace Test123 with the password you want
For Each ws In Worksheets
   ws.Protect password:=password
Next ws
End Sub

Unprotect All Worksheets At One Go

If you have some or all of the worksheets protected, you can just use a slight modification of the code used to protect sheets to unprotect it.

'This code will protect all the sheets at one go
Sub ProtectAllSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim password As String
password = "Test123" 'replace Test123 with the password you want
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Unprotect password:=password
Next ws
End Sub

Note that the password needs to the same that has been used to lock the worksheets. If it’s not, you will see an error.

Unhide All Rows and Columns

This macro code will unhide all the hidden rows and columns.

This could be really helpful if you get a file from someone else and want to be sure there are no hidden rows/columns.

'This code will unhide all the rows and columns in the Worksheet
Sub UnhideRowsColumns()
Columns.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End Sub

Unmerge All Merged Cells

It’s a common practice to merge cells to make it one. While it does the work, when cells are merged you will not be able to sort the data.

In case you are working with a worksheet with merged cells, use the code below to unmerge all the merged cells at one go.

'This code will unmerge all the merged cells
Sub UnmergeAllCells()
ActiveSheet.Cells.UnMerge
End Sub

Note that instead of Merge and Center, I recommend using the Centre Across Selection option.

Save Workbook With TimeStamp in Its Name

A lot of time, you may need to create versions of your work. These are quite helpful in long projects where you work with a file over time.

A good practice is to save the file with timestamps.

Using timestamps will allow you to go back to a certain file to see what changes were made or what data was used.

Here is the code that will automatically save the workbook in the specified folder and add a timestamp whenever it’s saved.

'This code will Save the File With a Timestamp in its name
Sub SaveWorkbookWithTimeStamp()
Dim timestamp As String
timestamp = Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy") & "_" & Format(Time, "hh-ss")
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "C:UsersUsernameDesktopWorkbookName" & timestamp
End Sub

You need to specify the folder location and the file name.

In the above code, “C:UsersUsernameDesktop is the folder location I have used. You need to specify the folder location where you want to save the file. Also, I have used a generic name “WorkbookName” as the filename prefix. You can specify something related to your project or company.

Save Each Worksheet as a Separate PDF

If you work with data for different years or divisions or products, you may have the need to save different worksheets as PDF files.

While it could be a time-consuming process if done manually, VBA can really speed it up.

Here is a VBA code that will save each worksheet as a separate PDF.

'This code will save each worsheet as a separate PDF
Sub SaveWorkshetAsPDF()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.ExportAsFixedFormat xlTypePDF, "C:UsersSumitDesktopTest" & ws.Name & ".pdf"
Next ws
End Sub

In the above code, I have specified the address of the folder location in which I want to save the PDFs. Also, each PDF will get the same name as that of the worksheet. You will have to modify this folder location (unless your name is also Sumit and you’re saving it in a test folder on the desktop).

Note that this code works for worksheets only (and not chart sheets).

Save Each Worksheet as a Separate PDF

Here is the code that will save your entire workbook as a PDF in the specified folder.

'This code will save the entire workbook as PDF
Sub SaveWorkshetAsPDF()
ThisWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat xlTypePDF, "C:UsersSumitDesktopTest" & ThisWorkbook.Name & ".pdf"
End Sub

You will have to change the folder location to use this code.

Convert All Formulas into Values

Use this code when you have a worksheet that contains a lot of formulas and you want to convert these formulas to values.

'This code will convert all formulas into values
Sub ConvertToValues()
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

This code automatically identifies cells are used and convert it into values.

Protect/Lock Cells with Formulas

You may want to lock cells with formulas when you have a lot of calculations and you don’t want to accidentally delete it or change it.

Here is the code that will lock all the cells that have formulas, while all the other cells are not locked.

'This macro code will lock all the cells with formulas
Sub LockCellsWithFormulas()
With ActiveSheet
   .Unprotect
   .Cells.Locked = False

Protect All Worksheets in the Workbook

Use the below code to protect all the worksheets in a workbook at one go.

'This code will protect all sheets in the workbook
Sub ProtectAllSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Protect
Next ws
End Sub

This code will go through all the worksheets one by one and protect it.

In case you want to unprotect all the worksheets, use ws.Unprotect instead of ws.Protect in the code.

Insert A Row After Every Other Row in the Selection

Use this code when you want to insert a blank row after every row in the selected range.

'This code will insert a row after every row in the selection
Sub InsertAlternateRows()
Dim rng As Range
Dim CountRow As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Set rng = Selection
CountRow = rng.EntireRow.Count
For i = 1 To CountRow
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Select
Next i
End Sub

Similarly, you can modify this code to insert a blank column after every column in the selected range.

Automatically Insert Date & Timestamp in the Adjacent Cell

A timestamp is something you use when you want to track activities.

For example, you may want to track activities such as when was a particular expense incurred, what time did the sale invoice was created, when was the data entry done in a cell, when was the report last updated, etc.

Use this code to insert a date and time stamp in the adjacent cell when an entry is made or the existing contents are edited.

'This code will insert a timestamp in the adjacent cell
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Handler
If Target.Column = 1 And Target.Value <> "" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(0, 1) = Format(Now(), "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss")
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Handler:
End Sub

Note that you need to insert this code in the worksheet code window (and not the in module code window as we have done in other Excel macro examples so far). To do this, in the VB Editor, double click on the sheet name on which you want this functionality. Then copy and paste this code in that sheet’s code window.

Also, this code is made to work when the data entry is done in Column A (note that the code has the line Target.Column = 1). You can change this accordingly.

Highlight Alternate Rows in the Selection

Highlighting alternate rows can increase the readability of your data tremendously. This can be useful when you need to take a print out and go through the data.

Here is a code that will instantly highlight alternate rows in the selection.

'This code would highlight alternate rows in the selection
Sub HighlightAlternateRows()
Dim Myrange As Range
Dim Myrow As Range
Set Myrange = Selection
For Each Myrow In Myrange.Rows
   If Myrow.Row Mod 2 = 1 Then
      Myrow.Interior.Color = vbCyan
   End If
Next Myrow
End Sub

Note that I have specified the color as vbCyan in the code. You can specify other colors as well (such as vbRed, vbGreen, vbBlue).

Highlight Cells with Misspelled Words

Excel doesn’t have a spell check as it has in Word or PowerPoint. While you can run the spell check by hitting the F7 key, there is no visual cue when there is a spelling mistake.

Use this code to instantly highlight all the cells that have a spelling mistake in it.

'This code will highlight the cells that have misspelled words
Sub HighlightMisspelledCells()
Dim cl As Range
For Each cl In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If Not Application.CheckSpelling(word:=cl.Text) Then
cl.Interior.Color = vbRed
End If
Next cl
End Sub

Note that the cells that are highlighted are those that have text that Excel considers as a spelling error. In many cases, it would also highlight names or brand terms that it doesn’t understand.

Refresh All Pivot Tables in the Workbook

If you have more than one Pivot Table in the workbook, you can use this code to refresh all these Pivot tables at once.

'This code will refresh all the Pivot Table in the Workbook
Sub RefreshAllPivotTables()
Dim PT As PivotTable
For Each PT In ActiveSheet.PivotTables
PT.RefreshTable
Next PT
End Sub

You can read more about refreshing Pivot Tables here.

Change the Letter Case of Selected Cells to Upper Case

While Excel has the formulas to change the letter case of the text, it makes you do that in another set of cells.

Use this code to instantly change the letter case of the text in the selected text.

'This code will change the Selection to Upper Case
Sub ChangeCase()
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Rng In Selection.Cells
If Rng.HasFormula = False Then
Rng.Value = UCase(Rng.Value)
End If
Next Rng
End Sub

Note that in this case, I have used UCase to make the text case Upper. You can use LCase for lower case.

Highlight All Cells With Comments

Use the below code to highlight all the cells that have comments in it.

'This code will highlight cells that have comments`
Sub HighlightCellsWithComments()
ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments).Interior.Color = vbBlue
End Sub

In this case, I have used vbBlue to give a blue color to the cells. You can change this to other colors if you want.

Highlight Blank Cells With VBA

While you can highlight blank cell with conditional formatting or using the Go to Special dialog box, if you have to do it quite often, it’s better to use a macro.

Once created, you can have this macro in the Quick Access Toolbar or save it in your personal macro workbook.

Here is the VBA macro code:

'This code will highlight all the blank cells in the dataset
Sub HighlightBlankCells()
Dim Dataset as Range
Set Dataset = Selection
Dataset.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Interior.Color = vbRed
End Sub

In this code, I have specified the blank cells to be highlighted in the red color. You can choose other colors such as blue, yellow, cyan, etc.

How to Sort Data by Single Column

You can use the below code to sort data by the specified column.

Sub SortDataHeader()
Range("DataRange").Sort Key1:=Range("A1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
End Sub

Note that the I have created a named range with the name ‘DataRange’ and have used it instead of the cell references.

Also there are three key parameters that are used here:

  • Key1 – This is the on which you want to sort the data set. In the above example code, the data will be sorted based on the values in column A.
  • Order- Here you need to specify whether you want to sort the data in ascending or descending order.
  • Header – Here you need to specify whether your data has headers or not.

Read more on how to sort data in Excel using VBA.

How to Sort Data by Multiple Columns

Suppose you have a dataset as shown below:

Dataset to sort data using VBA in Excel - Macro Example

Below is the code that will sort the data based on multiple columns:

Sub SortMultipleColumns()
With ActiveSheet.Sort
 .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A1"), Order:=xlAscending
 .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1"), Order:=xlAscending
 .SetRange Range("A1:C13")
 .Header = xlYes
 .Apply
End With
End Sub

Note that here I have specified to first sort based on column A and then based on column B.

The output would be something as shown below:

Sort Data Using VBA - Multiple Columns

How to Get Only the Numeric Part from a String in Excel

If you want to extract only the numeric part or only the text part from a string, you can create a custom function in VBA.

You can then use this VBA function in the worksheet (just like regular Excel functions) and it will extract only the numeric or text part from the string.

Something as shown below:

Dataset to get the numeric or the text part in Excel

Below is the VBA code that will create a function to extract numeric part from a string:

'This VBA code will create a function to get the numeric part from a string
Function GetNumeric(CellRef As String)
Dim StringLength As Integer
StringLength = Len(CellRef)
For i = 1 To StringLength
If IsNumeric(Mid(CellRef, i, 1)) Then Result = Result & Mid(CellRef, i, 1)
Next i
GetNumeric = Result
End Function

You need place in code in a module, and then you can use the function =GetNumeric in the worksheet.

This function will take only one argument, which is the cell reference of the cell from which you want to get the numeric part.

Similarly, below is the function that will get you only the text part from a string in Excel:

'This VBA code will create a function to get the text part from a string
Function GetText(CellRef As String)
Dim StringLength As Integer
StringLength = Len(CellRef)
For i = 1 To StringLength
If Not (IsNumeric(Mid(CellRef, i, 1))) Then Result = Result & Mid(CellRef, i, 1)
Next i
GetText = Result
End Function

So these are some of the useful Excel macro codes that you can use in your day-to-day work to automate tasks and be a lot more productive.

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!
