Unit Introduction
Excel macros are written
in a programming language called Visual Basic for Applications, or
VBA
Create a macro with the Excel macro recorder
The recorder writes the VBA instructions for you
Enter VBA instructions manually
Sequence of VBA statements is called a procedure
Слайд 5Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Viewing VBA Code
View existing VBA
code to learn the language
To view VBA code, open the
Visual Basic Editor
Contains a Project Explorer window, a Properties window, and a Code window
VBA code appears in the Code window
The first line of a procedure is called the procedure header
Items displayed in blue are keywords
Green notes explaining the code are called comments

Understanding the
Visual Basic Editor
A module is the Visual Basic equivalent of
a worksheet
Store macro procedures
A module is stored in a workbook, or project, along with worksheets
View and edit modules in the Visual Basic Editor

Analyzing VBA Code
Analyzing VBA code
Every
element of Excel, including a range, is considered an object
A
range object represents a cell or a range of cells
A property is an attribute of an object that defines one of the object’s characteristics, such as size
The last line in VBA code is the procedure footer

Слайд 10Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Writing VBA Code
To write your
own code, open the Visual Basic Editor and add a
module to the workbook
You must follow the formatting rules, or syntax, of the VBA programming language exactly
A misspelled keyword of variable name will cause a procedure to fail
Слайд 11Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Writing VBA Code (cont.)
Comments begin
with apostrophes
Information between quotes will be inserted in the active
cell
Слайд 12Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Writing VBA Code (cont.)
Entering code
using AutoComplete
To assist you in entering the VBA code, the
Editor often displays a list of words that can be used in the macro statement
Typically the list appears after you press period [.]
Слайд 13Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Adding a Conditional Statement
Sometimes you
may want a procedure to take an action based on
a certain condition or set of conditions
One way to add this type of statement is by using an If...Then…Else statement
The syntax for this statement is: If condition then statements Else [else statements]
Слайд 14Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Adding a Conditional
Statement (cont.)
Elements
of the If…then…Else statement appear in blue
Слайд 15Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Prompting the User for Data
When
automating routine tasks, sometimes you need to pause a macro
for user input
Use the VBA InputBox function to display a dialog box that prompts the user for information
A function is a predefined procedure that returns a value
Слайд 16Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Prompting the User for Data
(cont.)
This text will appear in a dialog box
Comment points out
error in next line of the procedure
Слайд 17Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated
Debugging a Macro
When a macro
procedure does not run properly, it can be due to
an error, called a bug, in the code
To help you find bugs in a procedure, the Visual Basic Editor steps through the procedure’s code one line at a time
When you locate an error, you can debug, or correct it

Creating a Main Procedure
Combine several
macros that you routinely run together into a procedure
This is
a main procedure
To create a main procedure, type a Call statement for each procedure you want to run
Слайд 20Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Illustrated

Running a
main procedure allows you to run several macros in sequence
Run
a main procedure as you would any other macro
