Synopsis
Despite its powerful feature set, you've probably found that there's a lot that you can't do-or can't do easily-through Microsoft Excel's user interface. For instance, have you ever wanted to sort the worksheets in a workbook without dragging and dropping each one individually ? Have you ever wanted to select a worksheet whose tab was not shown at the bottom of the workbook's window without scrolling through the tabs of all available worksheets ? In fact, you can address these and innumerable other shortcomings and extend your control over Excel by using Visual Basic for Applications to control Excel programmatically. Wilting Excel Macros is the introduction to Excel VBA that allows you to do just that. Writing Excel Macros provides Excel users, as well as programmers who are unfamiliar with the Excel object model, with a solid introduction to writing VBA macros and programs for Excel. in particular, the book focuses on : The Visual Basic Editor and the Excel VBA programming environment. Excel features a complete, state-of-the-art integrated development environment for writing, running, testing, and debugging VBA macros. The VBA programming language, the same programming language used by the other applications in Microsoft Office 2000, as well as by the retail editions of Visual Basic. The Excel object model. Excel exposes nearly all of its functionality through its object model, which is the means by which Excel can be controlled programmatically using VBA. While the Excel object model, with 192 objects, is the second largest among the Office applications, readers need be familiar with only a handful of objects to write effective macros. Wilting Excel Macros focuses on these essential objects, but includes a discussion of a great many more objects as well. Writing Excel Macros is written in a terse, no-nonsense manner that is characteristic of Steven Roman's straightforward, practical approach. Instead of a slow-paced tutorial with a lot of handholding, Roman offers the essential information about Excel VBA that you must master to write macros effectively. This tutorial is reinforced by interesting and useful examples that solve common problems ; you're sure to have encountered. Writing Excel Macros is the book you need to delve into the basics of Excel VBA programming, enabling you to increase your power and productivity when using Microsoft Excel.
