This Excel tutorial explains the VBA environment in Excel 2003 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).
What is VBA?
The Microsoft Visual Basic window displays your VBA environment in Excel 2003:
VBA standards for Visual Basic for Applications and is the language embedded within your spreadsheet in Excel 2003.
You use VBA in Excel whenever you do one of the following:
- Record a macro.
- Run a macro.
- Create a new function.
- Create a new subroutine.
- Define a variable.
- Place code on the click of a button.
These are just some of the examples of when you might be running VBA code in Excel 2003.
По Excel написано немало книг. Но книга, которую вы держите в своих руках, является особенной — в ней разработка приложений электронных таблиц рассматривается в широком контексте. VBA — это всего лишь один из компонентов среды разработки пользовательских приложений, хотя и довольно существенный. Данная книга поможет вам разобраться в тонкостях разработки приложений с помощью VBA. В ней описаны многочисленные средства языка VBA, его возможности и среда использования. Вначале вашему вниманию будет предложен обзор возможностей программы, далее вы перейдете к определению концепций VBA-программирования, а затем познакомитесь с самим языком. Если вы начинающий программист на VBA, то в данном издании найдете всю необходимую информацию, которая потребуется для дальнейшей работы. Если вы уже обладаете завидным опытом работы с VBA, то эта книга обогатит и приумножит ваши знания, пополнив их новыми методиками и примерами из реальной жизни.

Введение
Всем нам приходится — кому реже, кому чаще — повторять одни и те же действия и операции в Excel. Любая офисная работа предполагает некую «рутинную составляющую» — одни и те же еженедельные отчеты, одни и те же действия по обработке поступивших данных, заполнение однообразных таблиц или бланков и т.д. Использование макросов и пользовательских функций позволяет автоматизировать эти операции, перекладывая монотонную однообразную работу на плечи Excel. Другим поводом для использования макросов в вашей работе может стать необходимость добавить в Microsoft Excel недостающие, но нужные вам функции. Например функцию сборки данных с разных листов на один итоговый лист, разнесения данных обратно, вывод суммы прописью и т.д.
Макрос — это запрограммированная последовательность действий (программа, процедура), записанная на языке программирования Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Мы можем запускать макрос сколько угодно раз, заставляя Excel выполнять последовательность любых нужных нам действий, которые нам не хочется выполнять вручную.
В принципе, существует великое множество языков программирования (Pascal, Fortran, C++, C#, Java, ASP, PHP…), но для всех программ пакета Microsoft Office стандартом является именно встроенный язык VBA. Команды этого языка понимает любое офисное приложение, будь то Excel, Word, Outlook или Access.
Способ 1. Создание макросов в редакторе Visual Basic
Для ввода команд и формирования программы, т.е. создания макроса необходимо открыть специальное окно — редактор программ на VBA, встроенный в Microsoft Excel.
- В старых версиях (Excel 2003 и старше) для этого идем в меню Сервис — Макрос — Редактор Visual Basic (Toos — Macro — Visual Basic Editor).
- В новых версиях (Excel 2007 и новее) для этого нужно сначала отобразить вкладку Разработчик (Developer). Выбираем Файл — Параметры — Настройка ленты (File — Options — Customize Ribbon) и включаем в правой части окна флажок Разработчик (Developer). Теперь на появившейся вкладке нам будут доступны основные инструменты для работы с макросами, в том числе и нужная нам кнопка Редактор Visual Basic (Visual Basic Editor)
:
К сожалению, интерфейс редактора VBA и файлы справки не переводятся компанией Microsoft на русский язык, поэтому с английскими командами в меню и окнах придется смириться:
Макросы (т.е. наборы команд на языке VBA) хранятся в программных модулях. В любой книге Excel мы можем создать любое количество программных модулей и разместить там наши макросы. Один модуль может содержать любое количество макросов. Доступ ко всем модулям осуществляется с помощью окна Project Explorer в левом верхнем углу редактора (если его не видно, нажмите CTRL+R). Программные модули бывают нескольких типов для разных ситуаций:
- Обычные модули — используются в большинстве случаев, когда речь идет о макросах. Для создания такого модуля выберите в меню Insert — Module. В появившееся окно нового пустого модуля можно вводить команды на VBA, набирая их с клавиатуры или копируя их из другого модуля, с этого сайта или еще откуда нибудь:
- Модуль Эта книга — также виден в левом верхнем углу редактора Visual Basic в окне, которое называется Project Explorer. В этот модуль обычно записываются макросы, которые должны выполнятся при наступлении каких-либо событий в книге (открытие или сохранение книги, печать файла и т.п.):
- Модуль листа — доступен через Project Explorer и через контекстное меню листа, т.е. правой кнопкой мыши по ярлычку листа — команда Исходный текст (View Source). Сюда записывают макросы, которые должны выполняться при наступлении определенных событий на листе (изменение данных в ячейках, пересчет листа, копирование или удаление листа и т.д.)
Обычный макрос, введенный в стандартный модуль выглядит примерно так:
Давайте разберем приведенный выше в качестве примера макрос Zamena:
- Любой макрос должен начинаться с оператора Sub, за которым идет имя макроса и список аргументов (входных значений) в скобках. Если аргументов нет, то скобки надо оставить пустыми.
- Любой макрос должен заканчиваться оператором End Sub.
- Все, что находится между Sub и End Sub — тело макроса, т.е. команды, которые будут выполняться при запуске макроса. В данном случае макрос выделяет ячейку заливает выделенных диапазон (Selection) желтым цветом (код = 6) и затем проходит в цикле по всем ячейкам, заменяя формулы на значения. В конце выводится окно сообщения (MsgBox).
С ходу ясно, что вот так сразу, без предварительной подготовки и опыта в программировании вообще и на VBA в частности, сложновато будет сообразить какие именно команды и как надо вводить, чтобы макрос автоматически выполнял все действия, которые, например, Вы делаете для создания еженедельного отчета для руководства компании. Поэтому мы переходим ко второму способу создания макросов, а именно…
Способ 2. Запись макросов макрорекордером
Макрорекордер — это небольшая программа, встроенная в Excel, которая переводит любое действие пользователя на язык программирования VBA и записывает получившуюся команду в программный модуль. Если мы включим макрорекордер на запись, а затем начнем создавать свой еженедельный отчет, то макрорекордер начнет записывать команды вслед за каждым нашим действием и, в итоге, мы получим макрос создающий отчет как если бы он был написан программистом. Такой способ создания макросов не требует знаний пользователя о программировании и VBA и позволяет пользоваться макросами как неким аналогом видеозаписи: включил запись, выполнил операци, перемотал пленку и запустил выполнение тех же действий еще раз. Естественно у такого способа есть свои плюсы и минусы:
- Макрорекордер записывает только те действия, которые выполняются в пределах окна Microsoft Excel. Как только вы закрываете Excel или переключаетесь в другую программу — запись останавливается.
- Макрорекордер может записать только те действия, для которых есть команды меню или кнопки в Excel. Программист же может написать макрос, который делает то, что Excel никогда не умел (сортировку по цвету, например или что-то подобное).
- Если во время записи макроса макрорекордером вы ошиблись — ошибка будет записана. Однако смело можете давить на кнопку отмены последнего действия (Undo) — во время записи макроса макрорекордером она не просто возрвращает Вас в предыдущее состояние, но и стирает последнюю записанную команду на VBA.
Чтобы включить запись необходимо:
- в Excel 2003 и старше — выбрать в меню Сервис — Макрос — Начать запись (Tools — Macro — Record New Macro)
- в Excel 2007 и новее — нажать кнопку Запись макроса (Record macro) на вкладке Разработчик (Developer)
Затем необходимо настроить параметры записываемого макроса в окне Запись макроса:
- Имя макроса — подойдет любое имя на русском или английском языке. Имя должно начинаться с буквы и не содержать пробелов и знаков препинания.
- Сочетание клавиш — будет потом использоваться для быстрого запуска макроса. Если забудете сочетание или вообще его не введете, то макрос можно будет запустить через меню Сервис — Макрос — Макросы — Выполнить (Tools — Macro — Macros — Run) или с помощью кнопки Макросы (Macros) на вкладке Разработчик (Developer) или нажав ALT+F8.
- Сохранить в… — здесь задается место, куда будет сохранен текст макроса, т.е. набор команд на VBA из которых и состоит макрос.:
- Эта книга — макрос сохраняется в модуль текущей книги и, как следствие, будет выполнятся только пока эта книга открыта в Excel
- Новая книга — макрос сохраняется в шаблон, на основе которого создается любая новая пустая книга в Excel, т.е. макрос будет содержаться во всех новых книгах, создаваемых на данном компьютере начиная с текущего момента
- Личная книга макросов — это специальная книга Excel с именем Personal.xls, которая используется как хранилище макросов. Все макросы из Personal.xls загружаются в память при старте Excel и могут быть запущены в любой момент и в любой книге.
После включения записи и выполнения действий, которые необходимо записать, запись можно остановить командой Остановить запись (Stop Recording).
Запуск и редактирование макросов
Управление всеми доступными макросами производится в окне, которое можно открыть с помощью кнопки Макросы (Macros) на вкладке Разработчик (Developer) или — в старых версиях Excel — через меню Сервис — Макрос — Макросы (Tools — Macro — Macros):
- Любой выделенный в списке макрос можно запустить кнопкой Выполнить (Run).
- Кнопка Параметры (Options) позволяет посмотреть и отредактировать сочетание клавиш для быстрого запуска макроса.
- Кнопка Изменить (Edit) открывает редактор Visual Basic (см. выше) и позволяет просмотреть и отредактировать текст макроса на VBA.
Создание кнопки для запуска макросов
Чтобы не запоминать сочетание клавиш для запуска макроса, лучше создать кнопку и назначить ей нужный макрос. Кнопка может быть нескольких типов:
Кнопка на панели инструментов в Excel 2003 и старше
Откройте меню Сервис — Настройка (Tools — Customize) и перейдите на вкладку Команды (Commands). В категории Макросы легко найти веселый желтый «колобок» — Настраиваемую кнопку (Custom button):
Перетащите ее к себе на панель инструментов и затем щелкните по ней правой кнопкой мыши. В контекстом меню можно назначить кнопке макрос, выбрать другой значок и имя:
Кнопка на панели быстрого доступа в Excel 2007 и новее
Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши по панели быстрого доступа в левом верхнем углу окна Excel и выберите команду Настройка панели быстрого доступа (Customise Quick Access Toolbar):
Затем в открывшемся окне выберите категорию Макросы и при помощи кнопки Добавить (Add) перенесите выбранный макрос в правую половину окна, т.е. на панель быстрого доступа:
Кнопка на листе
Этот способ подходит для любой версии Excel. Мы добавим кнопку запуска макроса прямо на рабочий лист, как графический объект. Для этого:
- В Excel 2003 и старше — откройте панель инструментов Формы через меню Вид — Панели инструментов — Формы (View — Toolbars — Forms)
- В Excel 2007 и новее — откройте выпадающий список Вставить (Insert) на вкладке Разработчик (Developer)
Выберите объект Кнопка (Button):
Затем нарисуйте кнопку на листе, удерживая левую кнопку мыши. Автоматически появится окно, где нужно выбрать макрос, который должен запускаться при щелчке по нарисованной кнопке.
Создание пользовательских функций на VBA
Создание пользовательских функций или, как их иногда еще называют, UDF-функций (User Defined Functions) принципиально не отличается от создания макроса в обычном программном модуле. Разница только в том, что макрос выполняет последовательность действий с объектами книги (ячейками, формулами и значениями, листами, диаграммами и т.д.), а пользовательская функция — только с теми значениями, которые мы передадим ей как аргументы (исходные данные для расчета).
Чтобы создать пользовательскую функцию для расчета, например, налога на добавленную стоимость (НДС) откроем редактор VBA, добавим новый модуль через меню Insert — Module и введем туда текст нашей функции:
Обратите внимание, что в отличие от макросов функции имеют заголовок Function вместо Sub и непустой список аргументов (в нашем случае это Summa). После ввода кода наша функция становится доступна в обычном окне Мастера функций (Вставка — Функция) в категории Определенные пользователем (User Defined):
После выбора функции выделяем ячейки с аргументами (с суммой, для которой надо посчитать НДС) как в случае с обычной функцией:
Where I’m at the developers have been updated to Excel 2007, but most of the users haven’t. I’m building a spreadsheet template (*.xlt) for a user that’s gonna need some vba code included, and I’m wondering what issues I’m likely to run into building this in 2007 instead of 2003? I don’t have access to a machine with Excel 2003 for testing, and I’m worried this particular project is headed for disaster.

The VBA language hasn’t changed, but there are additional objects in Office 2007 that are not in Office 2003. Naturally, this will cause a runtime error when you try to access these items in a 2003 environment. What’s stopping you from setting about a virtual machine with Excel 2003 to develop under?

Rather than depending on a probably incomplete list of objects and methods which have been added to Excel 2007’s object library, the best (mmost relliable) practice is to always develop in the oldest version of Excel likely to be used to run the code.

One difference I discovered is that a subroutine must have a different signature to be called from a menu (in Excel 2003) than when called from the ribbon (in Excel 2007). Whatsmore, Excel 2003 doesn’t recognise IRibbonControl and throws compile errors.
To work toward cross-version compatability, I use a Conditional Compilation Argument and then check that in pre-processor macros.
e.g.
#If USINGRIBBON Then
Public Sub CallFromRibbon(control As IRibbonControl)
#Else
Public Sub CallFromRibbon()
#End If
' Code here
End Sub
This does mean that you have to save one version of your add-in with the USINGRIBBON flag set to false (for Excel2003) and another with the USINGRIBBON flag set to true (for Excel2007), but this is far easier than maintaining two completely separate codebases.

billb2112 is right. There are numerous changes to Excel 2007 over excel 2003 that are not backward compatible. While the language might not have changed, the objects have been updated. Some have had additional properties added, some work differently and some functions in Excel have changed.
You need to be very careful that what you code works in Excel 2003.
I would suggest as billb2112 said that you get a virtual machine to not only test in but also to code in. I do all my Excel development for clients who only have 2003 in a 2003 machine. Note that if users have Excel 2002 or 2000 there are even more differences as you go back and you will simply get runtime errors on any code that these older versions don’t support.
update
unfortunately jeffs answer is not quite correct. while yes the vba language hasn’t been updated it is not the same in 2007 as in 2003. as in 2003 its not the same as in 2002 etc.
what has happened is extra and additional functions and arguments for functions have been added. for example there are more options in the FIND function in Excel in 2003 than in 2002. thus if you record a macro (the best way to find these problems) in 2003 and then run it in 2002 you will have run time errors relating to the new arguments that simply do not work in the 2002 VBA editor. following the same process for functions that have changed in excel 2007 and then going back to 2003 to test will help you locate these problems. some examples include conditional formatting, colours (themes) and numerous new spreadsheet functions.
jon peltier has the best advice from that regard — develop in the oldest possible version that the client /user will use.
Virtual PC 2007 is free to download and install. you will just need a licensed copy of XP/Vista and office to install to run in it.

i used to develop a lot of macros under 2003, what a POTA,, things like Find, Dir and some others are not available or something change. therefore some erros can be expected, i used to count from 65000 row to the first non empty row to count the rows to work on…. now more rows means more work to do

Введение
Без преувеличения
можно сказать, Microsoft
Office
любых версий является самым полезным
и самым используемым продуктом Microsoft.
И современный руководитель, и менеджер,
и преподаватель, и студент, и школьник
– все, кто имеет в своем распоряжении
компьютер, в той или иной степени
используют эту систему.
Одним из наиболее
важных и полезных аспектов подготовки
Microsoft
Office
к выполнению определенных задач является
автоматизация процессов взаимодействия
пользователя с приложениями Microsoft
Office.
Эти приложения не являются законченными
продуктами, настроенными на выполнение
всех возможных задач, а представляют
собой системы, которые нуждаются в
определенной настройке, что обеспечивается
разнообразными средствами, как
интерактивными, так и программными. Все
приложения Microsoft
Office
поддерживают язык программирования
Visual
Basic
for
Applications
(VBA).
VBA
позволяет работать с Microsoft
Office,
как с некоторым конструктором: в
распоряжении разработчика VBA-приложения
не только большое количество объектов
и коллекций, но и возможности настроек,
позволяющие до такой степени программно
настроить любое приложение, что
пользователь такого приложения может
и не понять, с каким приложением происходит
«общение».
Важнейшим
достоинством VBA
является возможность объединять любые
приложения Microsoft
Office
для решения, практически, любых задач
по обработке информации. В этом смысле
Microsoft
Office
можно считать системой программирования,
подобной C++,
Delphi
и т.д., но с более мощными и разнообразными
функциями, поскольку здесь имеется
неизмеримо большее количество управляемых
системой объектов и готовых решений
для конечных пользователей.
Привлекательная
особенность VBA
в том, что он очень удобен для первого
знакомства с программированием в среде
Windows.
Этому способствует широкое распространение
приложений Microsoft
Office,
бесконечное разнообразие возможных
практических задач, интуитивно понятная
интегрированная среда редактора Visual
Basic,
возможность обучения программированию
посредством анализа кода, записанного
при помощи макрорекордера, наличие
огромного количества объектов, которыми
можно управлять из VB-кода. Более глубокие
знания VBA-программирования позволят
решать, практически, любые задачи: от
автоматизации создания простых документов
до обработки баз данных с использованием
как настольных, так и сетевых СУБД.
В данном пособии
предлагается набор заданий, объединенных
в лабораторные работы по изучаемым
вопросам. Каждая лабораторная работа
предполагает выполнение заданий по
прописанным действиям, осмысление
проделанного и выполнение упражнений
на закрепление полученных навыков.
На базе предложенного
материала можно организовать вариативность
в преподавании VBA
в зависимости от подготовки студентов.
Лабораторные работы охватывают основы
языка Visual
Basic,
а также операции по созданию макросов,
процедур и функций, приложений обработки
электронных таблиц с
3
использованием
диалоговых окон. Предполагается освоить
язык программирования Visual
Basic.
Рекомендуется
начать изучение VBA
с лекционного курса по данной теме. Он
создаст теоретическую основу для
практической деятельности.
По структуре каждая
работа имеет следующие составные части:
ь
цель
занятия;
ь
необходимые
материалы к заданиям;
ь
справочный
материал;
ь
комментированные
практические задания;
ь
упражнения
для самостоятельной работы;
ь
контрольные
вопросы.
Благодаря такой
структуре обучаемый имеет все условия
для качественного освоения материала
лабораторных работ. Упражнения
предполагают выполнение операций,
аналогичных комментированным практическим
заданиям, но самостоятельно. Это приводит
к осмыслению и закреплению полученных
навыков.
Пособие может быть
использовано аспирантами и студентами
любых специальностей, изучающими
дисциплины «Информатика, численные
методы и компьютерная графика», «Основы
информационных технологий».

Независимо от
используемых вами операционной системы
и программных приложений вы часто
выполняете одни и те же последовательности
команд для многих рутинных задач. Вместо
повторения последовательности команд
каждый раз, когда вам необходимо выполнить
какую-либо задачу, вы можете создать
макрос
(macro),
который вместо вас будет выполнять эту
последовательность. Макросы позволяют
вводить одиночную команду, выполняющую
ту же задачу, для реализации которой
вам было бы необходимо вводить несколько
команд вручную.
Макросы, кроме
удобства, имеют и другие преимущества.
Поскольку компьютеры больше приспособлены
для выполнения повторяющихся задач,
чем люди, запись макрорекордером
неоднократно
выполняемых команд повышает точность
и скорость работы. Другим преимуществом
использования макросов является то,
что при их выполнении обычно нет
необходимости в присутствии
человека-оператора.
Макрорекордер
(или просто «рекордер») записывает все
действия пользователя, включая ошибки
и неправильные запуски. Когда программа
воспроизводит макрос, она выполняет
каждую записанную рекордером команду
точно в такой последовательности, в
которой вы их выполняли во время записи.
Записанные
макрорекордером макросы лишены гибкости,
поэтому они не могут реагировать на
изменившиеся или меняющиеся условия.
Законченный макрос сохраняется как
процедура VBA.
На языке VBA
вы можете написать макрос, который
проверяет соответствие различным
предопределенным условиям и выбирает
соответствующую последовательность
действий на основе этих условий. Что
касается повторяющихся действий в самом
макросе, записанные рекордером макросы
имеют значительные ограничения. Если
вам необходимо, чтобы записанный макрос
повторял какое-либо действие несколько
раз, вы должны вручную повторять это
действие нужное количество раз, когда
записываете макрос. Такой макрос всегда
повторяет это действие одинаковое
количество раз, всякий раз, когда вы его
запускаете, до тех пор, пока вы не
отредактируете или не перезапишете
его.
Кроме улучшения
определенных макросов, записанных
макрорекордером, вы можете использовать
VBA
для соединения, организации и управления
несколькими записанными макросами, с
помощью которых вы выполняете сложную
общую задачу, состоящую из нескольких
меньших задач.
С помощью макросов
можно создавать пользовательские меню,
диалоговые окна и панели инструментов,
которые могут до неузнаваемости изменить
интерфейс всем известных продуктов
Word,
Excel,
Access,
PowerPoint.
Уместно здесь отметить также и возможность
создания разнообразной системы проверки
данных, вводимых пользователем в
диалоговых окнах. Когда вы научитесь
писать программы на языке VBA,
вы, скорее всего, уже никогда не станете
начинать создание макроса с использования
рекордера.

Цель занятия:
Уметь задавать
стартовые условия для макроса, запускать
макроредактор и присваивать имя макросу,
выполнять действия,
которые необходимо записать для
использования позже,
останавливать макроредактор, запускать
на выполнения макросы.
Материалы к
занятию: MS

Задание 1. Создайте
макрос в Excel,
который форматирует текст в текущей
ячейке шрифтом Arial,
полужирным, 12 размером.
1. Задайте
стартовые условия.
Для этого:
^Запустите Excel

еще не запущен;
-
откройте какую-либо
рабочую книгу; -
выберите какой-либо
рабочий лист; -
выделите любую
ячейку в рабочем листе.
2. Выберете
место и имя хранения макроса.
Для этого:
• выберете
в меню Сервис/Макрос/Начать

введите
FormatArialBold12
в качестве
имени макроса;
Рис. 1
ь
оставьте
без изменений текст, который Excel
вставила в поле Описание
(Description),
но добавьте следующее: Форматирует

для выбора места, в котором будет сохранен
записанный макрос выберите Личная
книга макросов;
ь
если вы
уверены в том, что будете часто использовать
макрос, который
6
собираетесь
записывать, можете назначить для его
запуска горячую клавишу; если — да,
введите горячую клавишу в текстовое
окно Сочетание
клавиш (Shortcut
Key)
окна Запись
макроса;
* щелкните
на кнопке ОК
для начала
записи макроса; как только вы щелкните
на кнопке ОК
в диалоговом
окне Запись
макроса, Excel
запустит
макрорекордер,
отобразит панель ^
Остановить
запись (Stop
Recorder)
и начнет
запись ваших действий. Макрорекордер
сохранит каждое ваше действие в новом
макросе.
Замечание 1.
Доступными
вариантами при сохранении макросов
являются Личная
книга макросов (Personal
Macro
Workbook),
Новая книга (New
Workbook)
и Эта
книга (This
Workbook).
Когда вы
выбираете в качестве места для хранения
макроса Личная
книга макросов, Excel
сохраняет макрос в файле специальной
книги с именем Personal.xls
в папке, в которую установлена Excel.
Excel
автоматически открывает эту книгу
каждый раз в начале работы. Поскольку
вам всегда доступны макросы из всех
открытых книг, макрос, сохраненный в
книге Personal.xls,
также будет доступен вам всегда. Если
книга Personal.xls
не существует, Excel
создаст ее. Выбор Эта
книга приведет
к тому, что Excel
сохранит новый макрос в текущей активной
рабочей книге. Выбор Новая
книга приведет
к созданию в Excel
новой рабочей книги, в которой будет
сохранен этот макрос, — рабочая книга,
которая была активной при запуске вами
макрорекордера, остается активной
рабочей книгой; любые действия, которые
вы записываете, выполняются в этой
книге, а не в новой рабочей книге,
созданной для сохранения макроса.
Замечание 2. Не
всегда при запуске макрорекордера вы
можете увидеть на экране панель Остановить
запись. Поскольку
это — обычная панель, ее можно отображать
или не отображать. Этим, как и другими
панелями, управляет команда Панели
инструментов (Toolbars)
меню Вид
(View).
В любом
случае (при наличии на экране панели
Остановить
запись или
ее отсутствии) вы можете остановить
макрорекордер, выбрав Сервис/Макрос/Остановить
запись.
3. Запишите действия
и остановите макрорекордер.
Для этого:
-
выберите команду
Формат/Ячейки…
(Format/Cells…)
для отображения
диалогового окна Формат
ячеек (Format
Cells); -
щелкните на ярлычке
Шрифт (Font)
для отображения
опций шрифта (рис. 2); -
выберите Arial
в списке
Шрифт (Font);
выполните
этот шаг, даже если шрифт Arial
уже выбран;
-
выберите Полужирный
(Bold)
в списке
Начертание
(Font
Style);
-
щелкните на кнопке
ОК, чтобы
закрыть диалоговое окно Формат
ячеек и
изменить выделенную ячейку в рабочем
листе; -
щелкните на кнопке
Остановить
запись (Stop
Macro)
на панели
Остановить
запись (Stop
Recorder)
или выберите
команду Сервис/Макрос/Остановить
запись (Tools/Macro/Stop
Recording).

содержит две командные кнопки. Левая
кнопка — это кнопка Остановить
запись (Stop);
щелкните на
этой кнопке для остановки макрорекордера.
Правая кнопка -это кнопка Относительная
ссылка (Relative
Reference).
По умолчанию
Excel
записывает абсолютные ссылки на ячейки
в ваши макросы. Кнопка Относительная
ссылка является
кнопкой-переключателем (toggle).
Когда запись с относительными ссылками
отключена, кнопка Относительная
ссылка выглядит
плоской; при помещении курсора мыши на
кнопку вид кнопки изменяется и она
выглядит отжатой. Когда запись с
относительной ссылкой включена, кнопка
Относительная
ссылка на
панели Остановить
запись нажата
(находится в «утопленном» положении).
Щелкая на кнопке Относительная
ссылка, можно
включать и выключать запись с относительными
ссылками во время записи по вашему
желанию.

Макросы Visual
Basic
for
Applications
сохраняются как часть файлов, в которых
Excel
(а также Word
и Access)
обычно содержит свои данные, – макросы
сохраняются в файлах рабочих книг в
Excel.
Макросы сохраняются в специальной части
файла данных, называемой Modules
(модули).
Модуль VBA
содержит исходный
код (source
code)
макроса – текстовое представление
инструкций. Каждый файл рабочей книги
Excel
может не содержать модулей или содержать
один или несколько модулей. Модули,
сохраняемые в одной рабочей книге Excel,
имеют общее название Project
(проект).
При записи макроса
в Excel
вы можете определять только рабочую
книгу, в которой Excel
сохраняет записанный макрос, – текущую
рабочую книгу, новую рабочую книгу или
рабочую книгу Personal.xls.
Excel
выбирает модуль, в котором сохраняется
записанный макрос, и при необходимости
создает этот модуль. Когда Excel
создает модуль, в котором сохраняется
записанный макрос, модулю присваивается
имя ModuleN,
где N
– это
количество модулей, созданных для
определенной рабочей книги во время
текущего сеанса работы. Например, в
первый раз, когда вы сохраняете записанный
макрос в Personal.xls
(личной книге макросов), Excel
создает модуль с именем Module1.
Если вы продолжаете записывать макросы
в том же сеансе работы и сохранять их в
Personal.xls,
Excel
продолжает сохранять записанные макросы
в том же модуле Module1
до тех пор,
пока вы не выберете другую рабочую
книгу. Если позже в том же сеансе работы
вы опять захотите сохранить записанные
макросы в Personal.xls,
Excel
добавляет другой модуль с именем Module2
в эту книгу.
Если какая-либо
рабочая книга уже содержит модуль с тем
же именем, что выбран в Excel
для нового модуля, Excel
увеличивает число в имени модуля до тех
пор, пока имя нового модуля не будет
отличаться от имен существующих модулей.
Для просмотра
модулей, сохраненных в определенной
рабочей книге (и исходного кода макроса,
который они содержат), вам необходимо
использовать компонент Visual
Basic
Editor
(Редактор Visual
Basic).
Этот компонент предоставляет
инструментальные средства, которые
используются для создания новых модулей,
просмотра содержимого существующих
модулей, создания и редактирования
исходного кода макроса, создания
пользовательских диалоговых окон и
выполнения других задач, относящихся
к написанию и обслуживанию программ на
VBA.
Редактор Visual
Basic
(Редактор VB)
содержит одни и те же возможности в
Excel,
Word
и Access.
Задание 3. Запустите
Редактор VB.
Для этого:
ь
выберите
Сервис/Макрос/Редактор
Visual
Basic
(Tools/Macro/Visual
Basic
Editor)
или нажмите сочетание клавиш Alt+F11;
ь
выберите
в меню View/Code
или нажмите
клавишу F7.

Рис. 3
Окна Редактора
VB
В окне Редактора
VB
имеются три дочерних окна, каждое из
которых отображает важную информацию
о VBA-проекте.
Project
(Проект) — это
группа модулей и других объектов,
сохраняемых в определенной рабочей
книге или шаблоне рабочей книги. Каждое
из окон Редактора VB
отображается по умолчанию в прикрепленных
(docked)
положениях (рис. 3).
Если необходимо,
вы можете переместить любое из дочерних
окон Редактора VB
в любое место на экране, перетаскивая
строку
заголовка (title
bar)
этого окна
таким же образом, каким бы вы перемещали
любое окно на рабочем столе Windows.
Перетаскивание одного из дочерних окон
из его прикрепленного положения приводит
к тому, что оно становится плавающим
окном. Плавающие
(floating)
окна всегда
остаются видимыми поверх других окон.
Вы можете также изменять размер любого
из дочерних окон Редактора VB,
расширяя или уменьшая рамку окна для
увеличения или уменьшения его размера,
что подобно изменению размера любого
окна на рабочем столе Windows.
Project
Explorer
(Окно проекта)
содержит дерево-диаграмму открытых в
данный момент файлов (рабочих книг) и
объектов, содержащихся в этих файлах
(объекты host-приложения,
модули, ссылки, формы и так далее). Project

Properties
Window
(Окно свойств)
содержит все свойства объекта текущего
выбора. Вкладка Alphabetic
(по алфавиту)
этого окна предоставляет список
10
свойств выделенного
объекта, составленный из имен свойств
в алфавитном порядке. Вкладка Categorized
(по категориям)
отображает свойства объекта, отсортированные
по категориям.
Code
Window
— это окно,
в котором вы можете просматривать,
редактировать или создавать исходный
код VBA.
В режиме F
Full
Module
View
весь исходный
код макроса в модуле отображается сразу
в прокручивающемся текстовом окне, а
макрос отделяется от другого макроса
серой линией. Редактор VB
позволяет также просматривать содержимое
модуля в режиме 1=
Procedure

(представление
процедуры). Чтобы выбрать режим просмотра,
щелкайте кнопки в нижнем левом углу
Code

(рис. 3).
Когда Code

видимым является исходный код только
одного макроса. Используйте раскрывающийся
список Procedure
(процедура)
для просмотра другого макроса. В режиме
Full

вы можете также использовать раскрывающийся
список Procedure
для быстрого перехода к отдельному
макросу.
Используйте список

(объект) для
выбора объекта, процедуры которого
хотите просмотреть или редактировать.
В случае стандартных модулей, таких как
модули, в которых сохраняются записанные
вами макросы, единственным выбором в
списке Object

Microsoft Excel is a deep program rich in features and functionality. One of the most powerful features of Excel is the ability to write programs in Visual Basic for Applications that run «behind» your worksheets to turn Excel into a calculation-oriented development platform for creating special purpose spreadsheets which can function as applications in their own right.
Service Pack[edit | edit source]
A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package.
A service pack can be incremental, which means it only contains the updates that were not present in the previous service packs or, it can be cumulative, which means it includes the contents of all its predecessors. In the case of Microsoft’s products, an incremental update was called a service release. For example, Office 2000 must be upgraded to service release 1 (SR-1) before one can install SP2.
Macro Security[edit | edit source]
Macro security settings are located in the Trust Center. However, if you work in an organization, your system administrator might have changed the default settings to prevent anyone from changing any settings and execute macros.
Macro Recording[edit | edit source]
A great way of learning about Excel VBA is using its macro recording function. With the function, you tell Excel to start recording, then perform various steps as if you were working without a macro recorder, and finally, tell Excel to stop recording. VBA code corresponding to what you did using Excel GUI has been recorded by Excel. While the code often cannot be meaningfully used without a modification, by starting from it and modifying it you can save a lot of time that would otherwise be spent reading the VBA documentation.
Menu paths:
- Excel 2000, 2003: Tools > Macro > Record New Macro.

Enabling Developer tab[edit | edit source]
Developer tab allows you to insert various user interface controls such as buttons. In order to use it, you first have to enable it.
Menu paths to enable the tab:
- Excel 2007: round Office button > Excel Options (button at bottom) > Popular > Show Developer tab in the Ribbon (check box)

Making an XLA[edit | edit source]
- Works on: Excel 2002 SP-2, Excel 2000 SR-1
An XLA is one way to make a VBA code-library. It’s basically just a normal spreadsheet(.xls file) but has its worksheets hidden. Here’s how to create a new one:
- New Workbook
- Save-As …Name it whatever
- Hit Alt-F11
- In the Project-tree, select VBAProject(whatever.xls)/ThisWorkbook
- Hit F4 to get Properties View
- Find Property IsAddin and set to True
- Hit Save
- Close Excel
- Rename whatever.xls to whatever.xla
Alternatively, you can use Save As / Excel AddIn.
Accessing the Registry[edit | edit source]
- Works on: Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2
This recipe is for reading/writing keys local to your application—this is to provide persistent settings for your VBA app. It does not cover arbitrary access to the Registry (i.e. looking at any key).
The VBA sub/functions are SaveSetting
and GetSetting
. You can type the following into the Immediate window to get a feel for how these work:
SaveSetting "MyApplicationName", "MyConfigSection", "MyKeyName", "Hello World" MsgBox GetSetting("MyApplicationName", "MyConfigSection", "MyKeyName")
If you want to iterate over all keys in a given section you can do so as follows:
Sub ShowAllKeys() Dim mySettings As Variant mySettings = GetAllSettings("MyApplicationName", "MyConfigSection") If Not IsEmpty(MySettings) Then Dim counter As Integer For counter = LBound(mySettings) To UBound(mySettings) Dim keyname As String: keyname = mySettings(counter, 0) Dim keyval As String: keyval = mySettings(counter, 1) MsgBox keyname & "=" & keyval Next End If End Sub
You can also delete a registry key as follows:
DeleteSetting "MyApplicationName", "MyConfigSection", "MyKeyName"
FYI: Excel/VBA sticks this in the following registry location:
MyComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareVB and VBA Program SettingsMyApplicationNameMyConfigSection
…where MyApplication
and MyConfigSection
are whatever you specified in your SaveSettings
call.
They end up in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareVB and VBA Program SettingsMyApplicationNameMyConfigSection.
[edit | edit source]
- Works on: Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2
Make the following call from VBA:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Making Cells Read-Only[edit | edit source]
- Works on: Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2
Sub ProtectMe() Range("A1:IV65536").Locked = False Range("A1").Locked = True ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="Test" End Sub
Finding Non-Empty Portion of Worksheet[edit | edit source]
A Worksheet has a maximum size of 65536 rows by 256 columns. However if you want to iterate over all cells you probably don’t want to visit all of the empty ones. For this purpose the Worksheet provides the UsedRange property. For example:
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
tells you how many non-empty rows are in the given worksheet. Empty rows which are in between the first and last used row are counted as well. Example: If a given Worksheet has entries in cells A7 and B16, used range is considered to be A7:B16, which counts for a total of 10 rows.
Using Events[edit | edit source]
- Works on: Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2
Consider the following class definition—Assume its a class called CMyClass:
Option Explicit Dim WithEvents mySheet As Worksheet Public Sub Init(aWS as Worksheet) Set MySheet = aWS End Sub Private Sub mySheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim MyRange As Range For Each MyRange in Target Debug.Print CStr(MyRange) Next End Sub
The main ideas here are:
- By declaring mySheet WithEvents, you’re saying that CMyClass is listening to mySheet’s events.
- By declaring the member sub mySheet_SelectionChange you’re indicating how an instance of CMyClass should react if mySheet experiences a selection change (i.e. the user selects a new cell or range of cells); The general pattern for events is sub memberVarName_EventName(params).
- You can disconnect the eventing between the given worksheet and CMyClass by setting mySheet = nothing;
- You can create classes that throw events of your design using:
- You would declare at the top of the class: Public Event SomeNiceEventName(YourFavoriteParam1 as WhateverType, etc…),
- You could then raise that event (i.e. firing it to whatever listeners your class has) using RaiseEvent SomeNiceEvent(«Some nice event happened.»);
- VBA in Excel doesn’t like the letters r or c used as variables. Those letters mean ‘row’ and ‘column’ elsewhere.

Caveat: Uncaught Exceptions[edit | edit source]
Caveat: Uncaught exceptions in event-handlers cause VBE to mysteriously reset. If you are causing an uncaught exception in an event-handler, you probably won’t get an error popup. Instead, VBE will just reset. For this reason you should make sure you’re catching exceptions in all of your event handlers.
Caveat: Online-Help Typos[edit | edit source]
Some versions of Excel can have typos in the F1-help. Here’s an example of a Click handler with the correct parameters:
Private Sub clicksrc_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, CancelDefault As Boolean) MsgBox "I got a click!" End Sub
Iterating Over MultiSelected Cells[edit | edit source]
- Works on: Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2
The following code-snippet writes «YAY!» in each cell selected by the user:
For Each Cell in Selection Cell.Value = "YAY!" Next
Exporting VBA Code[edit | edit source]
- Works on Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2
The following code provides a very primitive routine to write serializes the VBA code in your modules to files:
Option Explicit Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Dim objModule As Object On Error Resume Next For Each objModule In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents DoEvents If objModule.CodeModule.CountOfLines > 0 Then objModule.Export objModule.Name & ".bas" End If Next objModule End Sub
Resize a Named Range[edit | edit source]
- Excel 2003
Note that the Resize property of Range objects does not change the size of the range object. It returns a new anonymous Range object. Easiest way to do this is to set the .Name property of the Resized range:
Sub ResizeRange(ByVal RangeName As String, _ Optional NewRowCount As Long = 0, _ Optional NewColumnCount As Long = 0) Dim oRange As Range Set oRange = Range(RangeName) If NewRowCount = 0 Then NewRowCount = oRange.Rows.Count End If If NewColumnCount = 0 Then NewColumnCount = oRange.Columns.Count End If oRange.Resize(NewRowCount, NewColumnCount).Name = RangeName End Sub
Creating a Named Range[edit | edit source]
- Excel 2002
Named Ranges allow the user to refer to a cell or range of cells by name instead of by their cell address. This name can be used in other cell formulas as well as in VBA (e.g. using the [
SomeName]
). There are two sorts of named ranges: Workbook Names and Worksheet Names.
To create a Workbook Name you can select the cell you want to name, pull down Insert—>Name—>Define… This will bring up the «Define Name» dialog. Here you can enter the new name for your cell.
The create a Worksheet Name you follow the same procedure but precede the name with Sheetname!
, e.g. Sheet1!InitialValue
to create a named-range only visible from within worksheet Sheet1
.
When there are two variables with the same name, one local (Worksheet Name) and one global (Workbook Name), the spreadsheet uses the local variable.
There is no way to visualize a named range. The closest thing is to pull down again Insert—>Name—>Define…, but this method does not show if a variable is a local Worksheet Name or a global Workbook Name.
The named range can be a single cell, part of a row, part of a column or a rectangular group of cells. Each one behaves differently:
- A single cell can be referenced anywhere in the worksheet or, if it’s defined globally (workbook name), anywhere in any worksheet.
- A group of cells composing part of a row can only be referenced in a parallel row. For example, if the named variable is mass and it spans the cells C5:L5, then a reference to mass’ at cell E8 (say, a formula like =mass * (3e8)^2) would take the value at C8, but a reference to mass at cell M9 would return an error
- Similarly, a group of cells composing part of a column can only be referenced in a parallel column. Cells outside the range will return an error
- A group of cells that define a rectangular array of sides greater than one is only useful to be referenced in other worksheets — so, there’s no point in defining them locally (worksheet name). For example, if covmatrix are the cells Sheet1!B2:D4, then if cell Sheet2!C3 has the formula =1/sqrt(covmatrix), then it will return 1/sqrt(Sheet1!C3).
Reading a File[edit | edit source]

Clipboard[edit | edit source]
Prerequisites: Accessing the clipboard from an Excel sheet requires that a reference to MSForms (Microsoft Forms Object Library) is set in the sheet. You can set the reference by adding and subsequent removing of a user form, via Insert > UserForm in a pop-up menu. To check the presence of a reference, see Tools > References menu.
Placing text on the clipboard:
Set MyClipboard = New MSForms.DataObject MyClipboard.SetText "My string" MyClipboard.PutInClipboard
Getting text from the clipboard:
Set MyClipboard = New MSForms.DataObject MyClipboard.GetFromClipboard TextContent = MyClipboard.GetText

Range[edit | edit source]
A range is a set of cells. The cells in a range do not need to be adjacent. However, the cells in a single range do need to belong to a single worksheet.
Defining a new range:
Set MyRange = Selection 'The current selection, possibly of multiple cells Set MyRange = ActiveCell 'The single active cell Set MyRange = Cells(1, 2) 'Row=1, Column=2 AKA B Set MyRange = Cells(1, 1).Offset(0, 1) '=Cells(1, 2) Set MyRange = Cells(1, 2).Offset(0, -1) '=Cells(1, 1) Set MyRange = Cells(1, 1).Offset(0, -1) 'An error Set MyRange = Range("A1:C2") 'Letters indicate columns; numbers indicate rows Set MyRange = Range("A1:A3,C1:C3") 'A discontinuous range Set MyRange = Range("B2:C2").Cells(1, 1) '=Cells(2, 2) =Range("B2") Set MyRange = Rows(1) 'An entire row Set MyRange = Columns(1) 'An entire column Set MyRange = Cells(2,2).EntireRow Set MyRange = Cells(2,2).EntireColumn Set MyRange = Range("B1:C1").EntireColumn 'Two entire columns Set MyRange = Range("B2:D4").End(xlUp) '=Cells(1, 2) =Range("B1") Set MyRange = Range("B2:D4").End(xlToLeft) '=Cells(2, 1) = Range("A2") Set MyRange = Range("B2:D4").End(xlDown) '=Cells(<last row number>, 2) Set MyRange = Range("B2:D4").End(xlToRight) '=Cells(2, <last column number>)
Iterating a range AKA for each cell in a range:
Set MyRange = Selection For Each Cell in MyRange MsgBox Cell Next
Iterating rows and iterating columns AKA for each row of a range and for each column of a range, even if discontiguous:
Set Rng = Range("A1:B1,D3:E3") 'Discontiguous range For Each Row In Rng.Rows RowNo = Row.Row Next For Each Column In Rng.Columns ColNo = Column.Column Next
Making an union (a range subsuming both) or intersection (a range covering only cells in common) of two ranges:
Set MyRange = Range("A1:C2") Set MyRange = Union(MyRange, Range("A5:C5")) MyRange.Interior.Color = RGB(230, 230, 0) Set MyRange = Intersect(MyRange, Columns(2)) MyRange.Interior.Color = RGB(230, 100, 0)
Selecting a range:
Set MyRange = Sheets(1).Range("A1:B1,D1:E1") MyRange.Select 'Even a discontinuous range can be selected
Activating a cell:
Range("A1:B2").Select 'Affects Selection, generally of multiple cells Range("A2").Activate 'Affects ActiveCell, the single one
Finding out about a range AKA learning about a range, including the number of cells AKA cell count, the first row, the last row, the first column, the last column, row count, and column count:
Set Rng = Range("B2:D4") 'Contiguous range NumberOfCells = Rng.Cells.Count FirstRowNo = Rng.Row LastRowNo = Rng.Row + Rng.Rows.Count - 1 'Only for contiguous ranges FirstColNo = Rng.Column LastColNo = Rng.Column + Rng.Columns.Count - 1 'Only for contiguous ranges Set Rng = Range("A1:B1,D1:E1") 'Discontiguous range BrokenLastColNo = Rng.Column + Rng.Columns.Count - 1 'Only for contiguous ranges 'Do it the correct way for discontiguous range LastColNo = 0 For Each Cell in Rng If Cell.Column > LastColNo then LastColNo = Cell.Column End If Next Set RangeWorksheet = Rng.Worksheet

Worksheet[edit | edit source]
To create, access, or delete worksheets, you can use the methods of Worksheet objects. Examples follow.
Set MyNewWorksheet = Sheets.Add 'Create Set MyNewWorksheet2 = Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)) 'Create and place as the last sheet MyNewWorksheet.Name = "My Sheet" Set IndexedWorksheet = Sheets(1) 'Access by index Set NamedWorksheet = Sheets("Name") 'Access by name Set NamedWorksheet2 = Worksheets("Name") 'Does the same thing as the line above MyNewWorksheet.Delete Sheets("Name").Cells(1,1) = "New Value" 'Access the cells of the worksheet Sheets("Name").Cells.Clear 'Clear an entire worksheet, including formatting and cell values Sheets("Name").Columns(1).Sort key1:=Sheets("Name").Range("A1") 'Sort the first column Sheets("Name").Columns(1).Sort key1:=Sheets("Name").Range("A1"), _ order1:=xlDescending, header:=xlYes 'Use descending instead of ascending; do not sort ' the first cell, considering it a header MyNewWorksheet2.Visible = xlSheetHidden MyNewWorksheet2.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Obtaining an existing sheet by name or creating it if it does not exist:
NewSheetName = "My Sheet" Set MySheet = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set MySheet = Sheets(NewSheetName) On Error GoTo 0 If MySheet Is Nothing Then Set MySheet = Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)) MySheet.Name = NewSheetName End If

Searching[edit | edit source]
You can search for values in a sheet as follows:
Dim SoughtString As String SoughtString = "London" Set ForeignKeySheet = Sheets("CitySize") Set FoundCell = ForeignKeySheet.Columns(1).Find(SoughtString, LookAt:=xlWhole) If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then 'The value associated with the key is in column 2 CitySize = FoundCell.Offset(0, 1) End If
If you want to have a substring match, drop «LookAt:=xlWhole» or use «LookAt:=xlPart».

Cell Formatting[edit | edit source]
You can format cells including text color, background color, font properties and border, but also formatting as a number, percent or text from VBA as follows:
Selection.Characters.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'Foreground color AKA text color Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(230, 230, 230) 'Background color Selection.Characters.Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic 'Reset foreground color Selection.Interior.Color = xlAutomatic 'Reset background color Selection.Font.Name = "Verdana" 'Font face Selection.Font.Size = 8 'Font size Selection.Font.Bold = True Selection.Font.Italic = True Selection.Font.Underline = True 'Selection.Font.Strikethrough = True Selection.Font.Name = Application.StandardFont 'See also ClearFormats below Selection.Font.Size = Application.StandardFontSize 'See also ClearFormats below 'Selection.Borders.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone or xlDouble or xlDashDotDot or other Selection.Borders.Weight = xlMedium ' xlHairline, xlThin, xlMedium, or xlThick 'Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThick ' LineStyle and Weight interact in strange ways. Selection.Borders.Color = RGB(127, 127, 0) 'Will be overridden below; applies to all borders Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).Color = RGB(0, 255, 0) Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight).Color = RGB(0, 127, 127) Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).Color = &H7FFF00 'A tricky hex matching RGB(0, 255, 127) Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).Color = RGB(255, 127, 0) Selection.NumberFormat = "General" Selection.NumberFormat = "00" 'As a number with zero decimal places, showing at least two digits Selection.NumberFormat = "0.000" 'As a number, showing three decimal places and no more Selection.NumberFormat = "0.0%" 'As a percent with one decimal place Selection.NumberFormat = "@" 'As text Selection.NumberFormat = "0.00E+00" 'As a number in scientific notation, 'the string before E formatting the significand Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy" 'As a date; whether "/" is shown depends on locale Selection.NumberFormat = "d. mmmm yyyy hh:mm:ss" 'As date, showing the month using a word, 'also showing time Selection.ClearFormats 'Remove formatting, keeping cell content.

Color[edit | edit source]
In Excel VBA, RGB colors are plain numbers rather than objects. Some color examples are listed in #Cell Formatting.
Some examples:
Selection.Characters.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'Foreground color AKA text color Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(230, 230, 230) 'Background color Selection.Characters.Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic 'Reset foreground color Selection.Comment.Shape.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(220, 255, 160) 'The above is the fill color, that is, the background color Selection.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'Red per default 'Selection.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'Does not work in Excel 2007 If False Then ActiveWorkbook.Colors(3) = RGB(200, 0, 0) 'Make the red in the index 5 a bit darker End If
Setting the background color of the cells of the 1st column to the row number color index:
For ColorIndex = 1 to 56 Cells(ColorIndex,1).Interior.ColorIndex = ColorIndex Next
Color index in the default palette:
- 0 — Automatic
- 1 — Black
- 2 — White
- 3 — Red
- 4 — Green
- 5 — Blue
- 6 — Yellow
- 7 — Magenta
- 8 — Cyan
- 9 — Dark red
- 10 — Dark green
- 11 — Dark blue
- … etc., through 56
Finding all cells whose text color approaches green:
TargetColor = RGB(0, 255, 0) Tolerance = 200 'Extract the color components. The extraction is unneeded, but if the target 'color came from the color of a selected cell, it would be needed. TmpColor = TargetColor TargetColorRed = TmpColor Mod 256 TmpColor = TmpColor 256 TargetColorGreen = TmpColor Mod 256 TmpColor = TmpColor 256 TargetColorBlue = TmpColor Mod 256 For Each Cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells MyColor = Cell.Characters.Font.Color 'Color is a number 'Extract the RGB components of the color Red = MyColor Mod 256 MyColor = MyColor 256 Green = MyColor Mod 256 MyColor = MyColor 256 Blue = MyColor Mod 256 'Find the distance from the target color Distance = ((Red - TargetColorRed) ^ 2 + _ (Green - TargetColorGreen) ^ 2 + _ (Blue - TargetColorBlue) ^ 2) ^ 0.5 If Distance < Tolerance Then Cell.Interior.Color = RGB(230, 230, 230) 'Mark the cell using its background color End If Next

Visibility[edit | edit source]
Hiding a row (hide a row, hide row):
Rows(2).Hidden = True 'Rows(2).Hidden = False 'Show it again
Hiding several rows at once:
Range("A1:A3").EntireRow.Hidden = True 'Hide rows 1, 2, and 3
Hiding the rows of the currently selected cells:
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Looping over rows that are visible AKA shown AKA not hidden:
For RowNo = 1 To 10 If Not Rows(RowNo).Hidden Then 'Do something on the row End If Next
Toggling the visibility of rows:
For RowNo = 1 To 10 If Not Rows(RowNo).Hidden Then Rows(RowNo).Hidden = True Else Rows(RowNo).Hidden = False End If Next
Hiding a column (hide a column, hide column):
Columns(2).Hidden = True 'Columns(2).Hidden = False 'Show it again
Hiding several columns at once:
Range("A1:C1").EntireColumn.Hidden = True 'Hide columns 1, 2, and 3
Hiding the columns of the currently selected cells:
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Other tricks pertaining to visibility of columns work in a direct analogy to the examples for rows above.
Hyperlink[edit | edit source]
Opening or following a hyperlink (open a hyperlink, follow a hyperlink, open hyperlink, follow hyperlink):
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "http://www.microsoft.com"
Opening the Wikipedia article for the article title found in the single active cell by opening a put-together URL:
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & ActiveCell
Opening a Wikipedia article per article title in any of the currently selected cells:
For Each Cell In Selection ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" & Cell Next
Opening a local hyperlink, with a possible pop-up asking for confirmation for security reasons:
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "file://C:UsersJoe HoeDesktopTest.txt"

Temporary file[edit | edit source]
Getting a temporary file, with unclear robustness of the following method, which uses random numbers and tests for file existence:

Command Output[edit | edit source]
If you do not mind a popping up console window, here is a way of obtaining output of a command from Excel VBA:
Set MyShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set ExecObject = MyShell.Exec("tasklist /v") ' AllText = ExecObject.StdOut.ReadAll Do While Not ExecObject.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Line = ExecObject.StdOut.ReadLine() If InStr(Line, "AcroRd32.exe") > 0 Then 'Do something End If Loop
If having a console window popping up is not acceptable and you are okay with creating a temporary file, here is another way of obtaining output of a command from Excel VBA:
'Summary: Run "attrib" on the file in column A (1) of the row 'of the currently selected cell, writing the result into 'column B (2) of the row. 'Get temp file name TempFolder = Environ$("tmp") Randomize TempFileName = "" While TempFileName = "" TempFileNameCand = TempFolder & "" & "mytmp" & CStr(Int(10000000 * Rnd)) & ".tmp" If Dir(TempFileNameCand) = "" Then 'Then the file does not exist TempFileName = TempFileNameCand End If Wend 'Run the command Set MyShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") MyCommand = "cmd /c attrib """ & Cells(Selection.Row, 1) & """ >" & TempFileName MyShell.Run MyCommand, 0, True '0 = show no window 'Although attrib has an exe file, we need to use "cmd" for the 'redirection to work. FileNo = FreeFile() Open TempFileName For Input As #FileNo While Not EOF(FileNo) Line Input #FileNo, MyLine Cells(Selection.Row, 2) = MyLine Wend Close #FileNo Kill TempFileName 'Delete the file to clean up, although not strictly necessary
Using cmd /c, you can run chains of commands connected using & or | as well:
Set MyShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set ExecObject = MyShell.Exec("cmd /c cd /d C:UsersJoe Hoe & findstr /s knowledge *.txt") ' AllText = ExecObject.StdOut.ReadAll Do While Not ExecObject.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Line = ExecObject.StdOut.ReadLine() 'Do something Loop

IsEmpty[edit | edit source]
Approximately speaking, tells whether a variable has been initialized and not yet written to.
Can be used to tell whether a cell is empty; the presence of a comment attached to the cell or formatting of the cell does not make a cell non-empty.
Examples:
Set MyCell = Cells(1, 1) If IsEmpty(MyCell) Then MyCell.Value = "New value" End If ' MyCell.Value = "" Result1 = IsEmpty(MyCell) 'True ' Dim MyVar Result2 = IsEmpty(MyVar) 'True MyVar = "" Result3 = IsEmpty(MyVar) 'False MyVar = Empty Result4 = IsEmpty(MyVar) 'True

IsNull[edit | edit source]
Tells whether an expression is Null, which is distinct from Empty.
Null can be assigned to variant variables; it cannot be assigned to variables dimensioned as strings or integers. Null cannot be assigned to objects, unlike Nothing.
Examples:
Result1 = IsNull(Null) 'True Result2 = IsNull(Empty) 'False ' Dim MyVar As Variant MyVar = Null 'All right Result3 = IsNull(MyVar) 'True Dim MyColl As Collection Set MyColl = Nothing 'All right Set MyColl = Null 'Error Dim MyStr As String MyStr = Null 'Error Dim MyInt As Integer MyInt = Null 'Error

Add-Ins at Startup[edit | edit source]
Controlling what add-ins Excel opens at startup:
Microsoft Excel 2003: Configure loaded add-ins via Tools -> Add-ins. Their list is mirrored in the following Registry key, but there’s no advantage in editing the Registry:
HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice11.0ExcelInit Commands
Microsoft Excel 2002 SP-2:When you start Excel, it may automatically load addins (i.e. those you added from Tools -> Add-Ins). The list of add-ins that get loaded come from the following registry key:
HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice10.0ExcelOptions
Under this key you may find a list of string-variables:
- OPEN
- OPEN1
- OPEN2
- etc…
The values of these variables is the name of the add-in. Excel, on start-up, will attempt to load the add-in in string-variable OPEN first, then OPEN1 (if present), onward until it runs out of such string-variables. It seems like Excel will automatically renumber the keys if they are not consecutive (i.e. OPEN1, OPEN3, OPEN4 will become OPEN1, OPEN2, OPEN3).
Note also the list of add-ins presented when you do Tools -> Add-Ons is, in part, populated by the contents of the following key:

Chart direct from VBA array data[edit | edit source]
Charts need not be based on the values in cells of a spreadsheet, but can also be made directly in VBA from an array. The following code makes a chart of the relative frequency of characters in a string, in percent of the total, or normalized to a maximum of unity. There is also an option to sort the display and the content can be changed by modifying the content or sequence of the vRef array. Procedures to remove charts and test the functions are included.
Sub TestChartOfStrFreq() 'run this to make a chart Dim str As String, n As Long, c As Long 'place user string here str = "" 'if no user string use these random charas If str = "" Then Do DoEvents Randomize n = Int((127 - 0 + 1) * Rnd + 0) Select Case n 'numbers, and upper and lower letters Case 48 To 57, 65 To 90, 97 To 122 str = str & Chr(n) c = c + 1 End Select Loop Until c = 1000 End If If ChartOfStrFreq(str, 1, 1) Then MsgBox "Chart done..."

-
PNRao
November 14, 2013 at 1:37 PM — ReplyHi 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!

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,

February 25, 2014 at 7:39 AM — ReplySimilar 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.

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

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

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.

April 17, 2014 at 10:50 PM — ReplyHi 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
Nextif 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 Dend if
Hope this helps!

April 27, 2014 at 12:47 PM — ReplyHi 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.

You can loop through all the files in the folder and then fetch the range A1 and put it in your destination sheet.

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

Loop
End Sub

You can’t put everything in one-shot, use the for loop instead.

For iCntr = 1 To 1000
Temp = Range("A" & iCntr)

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.Thank you

Sub sbHideAllExceptOne()

I want to protect the folder and the contents of the folder from being deleted. Is there a way out through VBA ?
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.

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.

Thank you for your comments!
You can use ADO, to retrieve the the data and update into one worksheet. Please refer the below links:
http://analysistabs.com/excel-vba/ado-sql-macros-connecting-database/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.

July 11, 2015 at 1:00 AM — ReplyHello,
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!

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.

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.

Great effort in all of the comments that you have helped.
Hope you could help me too.
I want to create a Button that will gather all the data in the assigned cells and make it inserted in the existing table assigned per Person/borrower.
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
12/1/16 300.00 700.00
12/3/16 50.00 650.00
13/6/16 275.00 375.00Best Regards,

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

We are trying to build dashboard based on various types of data in excel sheets All these excel files will be located in specified path. All these files have commonly one unique field . Also , i have one more excel file which contains master list of that unique field.
For example :
I have 5 sheets in one specified folder.
all the files having one Project code as unique field.
However I need to create dashboard based on the portfolio under which the above projects are falling.
Like : for a project code “PPP” i have mapping of portfolio as “ABC”. This data will be stored in one excel file apart from the above mentioned 5 files.Now i need to generate data based on this mapping and rest 5 excel files and then have dashboards created on top of that.
Need help in having the code for this problem.

June 25, 2017 at 6:53 PM — ReplyHi, 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.

July 24, 2017 at 12:02 AM — ReplyHi 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.

3 Realtime VBA Projects
with Source Code!
Go to Top
Now, after having learned what Excel VBA is, let’s move a bit further and see what is VB Editor.
VB Editor (or more commonly known as VBE) is the tool used to create, modify and maintain Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) procedures and modules in Excel.
NOTE: Many people also refer VBE as Excel IDE, IDE stands for integrated development environment. So, do not confuse between these terms as they are more or less same.
Now, let’s see how you can access VBE.
How to Open VBE in Excel:
Opening and accessing VBE is very simple, there are various ways to do it and below I am going to show you top three ways to do it:
1. Using Shortcut Key to open VBE [The Easiest Way]: Open your spreadsheet and then simply press ALT + F11 key while in the main/normal Excel window, to open the Visual Basic Editor.
2. Access VBE from Menu in Excel 2003: To open VBE in Excel 2003, navigate to Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor. As shown below:
3. Access VBE from Ribbon in Excel 2007 and Later Versions: Visual Basic Editor in Excel 2007 or later Versions can be opened from ‘Developer’ Tab. But generally, Developer tab is hidden by default in Excel. So, first you need to un-hide the developer tab and then open the VB Editor.
To display Developer tab in Excel 2007 or later version simply navigate to File > Options > Customize Ribbon, check the ‘Developer’ checkbox and click ‘Ok’.
As shown in the below image.
After this, your Developer Tab will become visible. And now to open VB Editor, simply navigate to Developer Tab in the ribbon and click the Visual basic button as shown.
Getting Familiar with VBE:
When you open VBE using any of the methods mentioned above, you will typically see a window that is more or less like the one in below image.
VBE can be divided into 5 basic parts (represented by the numbers), below is the description about them:
1. Menu Bar: This the first and one of the most important part that you see in the Visual Basic Editor. Menu Bar contains menus to access most functions of the VBE. Clicking the menu label brings up the corresponding menu.
Below the Menu Bar, there is a standard toolbar that holds the most frequently used commands in VBE. Above image shows the various options present on the standard toolbar.
2. Project Window: Project Window is located to the immediate left of Code window, it shows you all the projects that you have and enables you to easily navigate through them. If Project Window is not opened by default in VBE, then press Ctrl + R to open it.
3. Properties Window: The Properties window displays and allows editing of the properties of the currently active object. If Properties window is not opened by default in VBE, then press F4 to open it.
4. Code Window: The code window is the area where we will actually write the code. The macros that you record in the workbook, are recorded on module sheets to which generic names are assigned, such as Module1, Module2, and so forth.
These module sheets are visible in the Project window and when you double click them in the project window they open up and show the code inside them in the code window.
5 Immediate Window: In the Immediate window, you can type in commands, set values, examine values and debug or evaluate expressions. If immediate window is not opened by default in VBE, then press CTRL + ALT + I to open it.
Note: There is nothing to panic, if at first you don’t see all the windows in your Visual Basic Editor. If some of the windows are missing you can add them from the ‘View’ tab. You can also re-position these windows based on your personal preferences and ease of use.
Now, after understanding the significance of all these windows in Visual Basic Editor, I suggest you to take 10-15 minutes out of your busy schedule and open the VB Editor in Excel and then explore various options and menus on the editor. Because the more time you spend on this, more confident you will feel while using it next time.
Cheers! Have a nice day.
