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.
