 What Is VBA

Think of VBA like a recorder. You can tell it to record your actions as you do things in Excel, Word, or
PowerPoint, like clicking buttons, typing text, or moving things around. Once you've recorded your actions, VBA
turns them into instructions. These instructions are called "macros." You can edit these macros to make them do
more or different things. : With VBA, you can automate repetitive tasks. For example, if you have to do the same
calculations in Excel every day, you can create a macro to do it for you with just one click.
