Introduction

Completing this book is one of the hardest things that I have

ever done. It took me almost two years to get it into the form

you are reading.

Most of the examples of this book are taken from our training

sessions or from our in-house development series.

More than anything else, I have tried to design this book for a

programmer struggling with a new and complex

programming. I have poured my best efforts into these pages.

I trust you would find this book useful.

What is a macro?

A macro is a set of code that runs in Office Application and

help us to automate tasks that we frequently use in corporate

world.

Let's assume I should prepare a report in Excel and as for this

I need to use content of many worksheets. In making a report,

I generally use the following steps which are:

-Open Workbook

-Open desired worksheet

-Make selection of the data

-Use Auto Filter and other relevant task

-Copy the desired data after sorting and filtering

-Now Open another workbook / worksheet to paste selected

data for making dashboard

I use all the steps above for so many times to prepare reports

on daily basis data. As you noticed, the steps above is more

likely consuming amount of time and therefore, I use macro

to automate the same task in a single click.

While you are writing the code, you should have a clear idea

of what it does and how it works otherwise your macro may

stuck and your entire work may interrupt. Hence, VBA Macro

is the best solution for the steps above.

So in short, a macro is a recording or capturing of your task

step by step you takes in Excel that you can follow by using a

single button..

What is VBA?

You recently aware with macros. So now let‟s get to know

more with another term called "VBA- Visual Basic for

Applications".

VBA is a programming language, developed by Microsoft.

Before you think about the programming language, it is

essential to know that programming languages are used to

communicate with your computer and not to human.

Therefore, VBA is a tool to communicate and passes your

instructions to Excel.

However, macro is not a programming language. As

explained by John Walkenbach (one of the most popular

author)

"A macro is a sequence of instructions that automates some

aspect of Excel."

Tools

Before you are going to write your first VBA code, you need

to check whether the VBA Editor is installed on your

computer. By pressing ALT+F11 is a quick way to test on

either your Visual Basic has been installed or not. If the VBA

editing window opens you are ok, otherwise you need to

install VBA Editor first.

Macro Security Level

Security is a major key when working with Excel macros. If

you open workbooks containing macros from outside sources,

these files may be harmful to your computer. Excel tool

protects you from running those macros. For the better

performance and avoid security risks you should save your

macro file with .xlsm extension.

There are some macros security level as follow-

Disable all macros without notification: Its allow macros

that are stored in a trusted location. You may manage your

trusted locations from the excel preferences.

Disable all macros with notification: This is default Macro

configuration which displays an alert or warning when a

workbook containing macro code is being open.

Disable all macros except digitally signed macros: By

selecting this option you are allowed to run only those macro

files, digitally signed.

Enable all macros: Allows macros to run without any

interruption or notification. If you are writing your own

macro / VBA code then this could be the recommended

setting for enabling us to run macro files.
