Introduction to VBA for Excel

VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications. It is a custom version of the
Visual Basic programming language that has powered Microsoft Excel's
macros since the mid-1990s. The programming (VBA) interface of MS Excel
will let you,
1. Create and Execute Macros (explained in the next section). Anything that
the user can do in Excel from the user interface can be done by writing
code in VBA for Excel.
2. Create User Defined Functions (UDFs).
3. Integrate MS Excel with other applications such as Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint, Outlook, Notepad, AutoCAD etc.

What is a Macro?
Macros are codes written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), or recorded in MS
Excel (or other applications) which helps to reduce the manual effort required
for a job. Macros save your time and headaches by automating repetitive tasks.
They reduce the possibility of human error that increases with many, repetitive
keystrokes and tasks. The most important feature of an Excel macro is, it can be
saved for future use. It can also be shared among multiple users.
In layman's language, a macro is a recording of your routine steps in Excel that
you can replay using a single button
The best part is, you don’t need to be a programmer or know VBA to use Macros.
You just need to copy the codes shared here into the VBA Editor or Excel and hit
the run button to execute them. After using the program, save the file as a Macro
enabled workbook for future use.

How to use codes shared here?

1. Copy the Code.
2. Click on Visual Basic in the Developer Tab of Excel Ribbon. ALT + F11 is the
Shortcut for Visual Basic Editor.

3. Right click on the tree view and Insert a Module.

4. Paste the copied Code into the new module.

5. Close the editor and Click on Macros in Developer Tab. You will get a dialogue
box with the list of Macros, ready for execution. ALT +F8 is the shortcut for
activating Macro Dialog Box. Select a Macro, Click on Run button to execute
the macro.

Things to remember while using Macros

• By default, the Developer tab is not displayed in excel. If you can't see the
Developer tab, use Customize Ribbon option to activate it.
• We cannot Undo an action performed using a Macro. Make sure that you
have a backup of the data before executing the macro.
• To save macros in a workbook, you must save your workbook in a Macro-
Enabled format (*.xlsm).
• Use the comment option of VBA editor while writing the code for a
Macro. This will help you understand your own work if you have to revisit
it weeks or months later.
