Download or read book Dissect and Learn Excel r VBA in 24 Hours written by Liaw Hocksang and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how complicated a program is, it is made of many smaller and tiny fundamental working parts of programming code. Each of them accomplishes a specific task. Some may just consist of only one or a few lines of code. Knowing the functions of these fundamental working parts, you can then easily write an unlimited number of working programs. And knowing them, you can easily understand the programs written by others and adopt into your programs the ideas and the efficient code that are presented in those programs. Dissect and Learn Excel VBA in 24 Hours is a series of quick references for intermediate users who are looking for ideas and samples of VBA code to accomplish certain tasks when they are in the process of writing a program. In this series, you will see thousands of tiny working parts of VBA code that are used to accomplish many simple and yet meaningful tasks. To add a new workbook, to auto-fill a range, to sort a table of data, to generate a table of contents for all chart sheets and worksheets in a workbook, to loop through and manipulate a folder of Excel files, to place a control on the Ribbon, to send an email, and to login to an account in the Internet are some examples of these tiny working parts. Book 2: Working with ranges focuses on commonly used operations related to worksheet ranges. Selecting a range, finding the last nonempty cell in a range, retrieving the properties of a range (such as address and font), changing the format of a range, converting formulas in a range to values, conditionally formatting a range, sorting a range, filtering a range, copying a range, and exporting a range out of Excel are some of the operations. To understand better a particular concept discussed in the book, simply copy and paste the sample VBA code stated in the book into the Immediate window or into a standard VBA module, and run the code (or step through the code by using the debugger in VBE). The result is either visible in the Immediate window or in an Excel worksheet. To execute a few lines of code that are not placed in a Sub procedure, simply enclose them in a new procedure in a standard VBA module. You can download the VBA code stated in the book from drive.google.com/file/d/0ByKhn-UYAjlQYm9LNTRWNzl4d2M, or search for any updated URL from the Author Page: amazon.com/Liaw-HockSang/e/B01LX701LY.

This series is for readers, who have at least a basic understanding of Excel VBA programming. In order to follow the discussions in the series, a reader must know what Sub and Function procedures are, what Visual Basic Editor (VBE) is, how to add a VBA module to a workbook, how to set a reference to an application's type library, how to enable the Auto List Members feature in VBE, how to use the Macro Recorder in Excel in order to find out the methods and properties of objects that you are not familiar with, how to use the Object Browser to check the complete list of members for a particular object, how to write some simple procedures, in which VBA modules you should store your VBA code, and how to use the debugging tools in VBE. If you are new to Excel VBA, please teach yourself Excel VBA before exploring the contents in the series. You may refer to my earlier book entitled Learn Excel(R) VBA in 24 Hours - A quick reference for beginners, which was written for those who are new to Excel VBA. Book 3: Working with sheets, workbooks, and files focuses on commonly used operations on sheets, workbooks, and files. Copying a sheet, protecting a sheet, creating a table of contents for all sheets with hyperlinks, saving a copy of a workbook, self-deleting a workbook, protecting a workbook, accessing a password-forgotten VBA project, prompting users to select a folder, a file, and multiple files, writing and reading a text file, looping through a folder of files, and creating and deleting folders are some of the operations. To understand better a concept discussed in this book, simply copy and paste the sample VBA code into the Immediate window or a VBA module, and run the VBA code (or step through the VBA code by using the debugger in VBE). To execute a few lines of code that are not in a Sub procedure, simply enclose them in a new procedure in a standard VBA module. To test a Sub procedure with required arguments, simply call the procedure by passing the arguments in the Immediate window such as DeleteAllFilesUsingFSO "C: \Temp," True. Alternatively, you can download the supplementary Excel file for the book. It contains almost all the VBA code stated in the book. The previous two books in the series discuss changing workbook appearance and working with worksheet ranges in Excel 2007-2016 for Windows. The forth, which will be the last book in the series focuses on working with controls and automation. It discusses, for example, adding controls to a worksheet and a UserForm, writing a Word document, sending an email via Outlook, logging in to an account on a web page, and working with various controls (such as list box, check box, button, and drop-down list) on a web page in Internet Explorer.

Let Excel VBA work for you.Book 1: Changing workbook appearance focuses on changing the appearance of the worksheet cells, the worksheets of a workbook, the row and column headings, the sheet tabs, the layout view of a worksheet, the status bar, the formula bar, the Ribbon, and the Cell context menu. Figure 1 shows the components that will undergo certain changes in their appearances. In this book, almost half of it covers on how to customize the Ribbon.The main purpose of changing the appearance is to let the users to have a better working experience when they are using your program. The changes may affect from just a worksheet cell, a range of cells, and a worksheet to the entire active workbook and every opened workbook. To see how the code affects the appearance, simply copy and paste the code into the Immediate window, a VBA module, or Custom UI Editor, and run the VBA code (or step through the VBA code by using the debugger in VBE) or reopen the file (that stores the code) in Excel.This book ends with a sample program that adopts most of the ideas that are discussed in the book.
