on 10 May 2013

As a developer you’ll be used to running most of your code from within the Visual Basic Editor environment. Your users, on the other hand, are more likely to require a simple interface (most likely involving buttons to click) that they can use to run your code. This video covers the main ways to provide users with the means to run your code including keyboard shortcuts, buttons and drawing objects with attached macros. We’ll even show you how to customise the ribbon and toolbars in Excel for that extra, professional touch!

You’ll learn how to specify the data type returned by the InputBox and how to use its built-in validation feature to control what users can enter. The video also covers how to return a simple formula and a more complex function from the InputBox and also how to allow users to select a range of cells which can then be referenced by your VBA code. The final part of the video covers a more complex example in which the InputBox returns an array of values which can be looped over and manipulated in various ways.

Excel VBA Part 19 — Error Handling

Posted by
Andrew Gould
on 24 February 2014

Almost every procedure you write in VBA has the potential to go wrong at some point! Writing error handling code allows your procedures to fail gracefully instead of dumping the user out into the run time error dialog box. This video teaches you all about the On Error statement including how to ignore errors, how to trigger a custom error handler and how to resume running your code after an error has occurred. Towards the end of the video you’ll also encounter the Err object which allows you to interrogate the error that has occurred and even raise your own custom errors.

Dear Wise Owl,

How can I use VBA to copy one specific sheet from each workbook which located from one path to current workbook?

The specific sheet will be named as the same as the name from each file in the current workbook.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

In this video, you mentioned the singular is usually the object in the collection, eg worksheet is an object of the collection of worksheets (plural).

You mentioned usually.

What are the exceptions?

Thanks

Hi, I have created a custom ribbon and attached a macro to this item in excel. My question is how do I make this custom ribbon/button available on each end user’s terminal? The macro-enabled document is located on a shared folder through which all users have equal access. However, the custom ribbon/button is not available to all users when opening the same workbook.

Can you kindly help or instruct accordingly please?

Hai Andrew G,

I just want to encrypt my VBA code. Apart from using password protection from tools menu, Is there any possible way to do that? If the user tries to open tne module then the code should be at an encrypted state. I do not think, using password is an effective way to protect my code because there is a way to break the password and to view the code.

Hi!
First of all I would like to congratulate you for this incredible series of videos about VBA.
Through you, I have been able to improve and learn more and more my knowledge in Excel and VBA.
I would like to know if you are going to, or intend to release, any video about Regular Expressions (RegExp) for Excel / VBA?
It is a very interesting and very powerful subject for queries, validations, ect. But little used or demonstrated by the communities.
Again, thank you for the dedication and high quality of your teaching.
A hug from Brazil!

I have a workbook with 4 sheets.  Three of these sheets have employees that are scheduled daily, the fourth is the actual schedule.  What I would like to accomplish is when I schedule that person he or she is highlighted on the other sheets to help identify who we can and cannot use. I am fairly new to VBA, but extremely excited to learn something new.  Thank you so much for you time and any assistance woould be greatly appreciated.
