Defining VBA and Its Uses
VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is an implementation of Microsoft’s event-driven programming language, Visual Basic 6, and its associated integrated development environment (IDE).
VBA, which stands for Visual Basic for Applications, is a programming language developed by Microsoft — you know, the company run by the richest man in the world. Excel, along with the other members of Microsoft Office 2003, includes the VBA language (at no extra charge). In a nutshell, VBA is the tool that people use to develop programs that control Excel.
Don’t confuse VBA with VB (which stands for Visual Basic). VB is a programming language that lets you create standalone executable programs (those EXE files). Although VBA and VB have a lot in common, they are different animals.
You’re probably aware that people use Excel for thousands of different tasks. Here are just a few examples:
* Keeping lists of things, such as customer names, students’ grades, or holiday gift ideas
* Budgeting and forecasting
* Analyzing scientific data
* Creating invoices and other forms
* Developing charts from datatabmark
The list could go on and on, but you get the idea. Excel is used for a wide variety of things, and everyone reading this article has different needs and expectations regarding Excel. One thing virtually every reader has in common is the need to automate some aspect of Excel. That is what VBA is all about.
For example, you might create a VBA program to format and print your month-end sales report. After developing and testing the program, you can execute the macro with a single command, causing Excel to automatically perform many time-consuming procedures
Here are some common uses for VBA macros:
* Inserting a text string
* Automating a task you perform frequently
* Automating repetitive operations
* Creating a custom menu command
* Creating a custom command
* Creating a custom toolbar button
* Creating a simplified front end
* Developing new worksheet functions
* Creating complete, macro-driven applications
* Creating custom add-ins for Excel
