Code Snippet A macro is a piece of computer code, that is written from excel, using visual basic application

programming language. Use VBA and macros to automate virtually any routine task, and save yourself

hours, day, maybe even weeks. Visual basic application (VBA) gives experienced Excel users a wide range

of options for creating Excel spreadsheets and customizing how they look and execute functions.

This document reveals code snippet & scripting technique, which helps you to create automated reports

that are amazingly powerful and useful. It also helps you instantly visualize information so you can

understand and act on it. It also shows you how to capture data from anywhere and use it anywhere.

How to write a macro

1. Choose Developer | On Developer Tab Click Insert

2. In the ActiveX control group, click Command button

3. Drag a command button on your worksheet

4. Right Click on command button (make sure design mode is selected).

5. Click View Code

6. Visual basic editor appears

7. Place your cursor between private sub commandbutton1_Click() and End Sub

8. Add the code here

9. Close the Visual basic editor

10. Click the command button on the sheet (make sure design mode is deselected).

How to Record a macro

1. Choose Developer | Record Macro

2. Enter Macro Name. No space allowed

3. Optional: Specify a keyboard shortcut, macro location and description

4. Click OK

5. Perform the actions

6. Choose Developer | Stop Recording

NOTE:

In Code snippet I have used Object for Workbook i.e. oExcel1_Workbook1 & Worksheet i.e.

oExcel1_Worksheet1, instead we can use workbook name like Workbooks (“file1.xls”).Activate &

worksheet name like Worksheets (“sheet1”).Delete.

Below are few examples:

Using Object Using Name

oExcel1_Workbook1.Save Workbooks (“file1.xls”).Save

oExcel1_Worksheet1.Cells(1, 1).Value Worksheets (“sheet1”).Cells(1,1).value

oExcel1_Worksheet1.Unprotect "XX" Worksheets (“sheet1”). Unprotect "XX"

oExcel1_Worksheet1. Delete Worksheets (“sheet1”). Delete

SYNTAX => FileCopy source, destination

EXAMPLE => FileCopy "C:\ NewFolder1\ NewFolder2\ NewFolder3\file1.doc", "C:\ NewFolder1\

NewFolder2\ NewFolder3\file1.doc"

FileLen Function:-

Returns a Long specifying the length of a file in bytes.

SYNTAX => FileLen(pathname)

EXAMPLE => a = FileLen("C:\ NewFolder1\ NewFolder2\ NewFolder3\file1.doc")

FileDateTime Function:-

Returns a Variant (Date) that indicates the date and time when a file was created or last

modified.

SYNTAX => FileDateTime(pathname)

EXAMPLE => a = FileDateTime("C:\ NewFolder1\ NewFolder2\ NewFolder3\file1.doc")

Kill Statement:-

Deletes files from a disk.

SYNTAX => Kill pathname

EXAMPLE => Kill "C:\ NewFolder1\ NewFolder2\ NewFolder3\file1.docx" - Delete specific file

EXAMPLE => Kill "C:\ NewFolder1\ NewFolder2\ NewFolder3\*.xls" - Delete all excel file from

the specified path

VLookup Function:-

Vlookup is generally used to look up a particular value in the huge datasheet. Searches for a

value in the first column of a table array and returns a value in the same row from another

column in the table array.

Use of Vlookup –

1) To lookup a single or set of values from the data sheet.

2) To add a column to a data sheet from some other table.

SYNTAX =>

Application.Vlookup(Lookup_Value, Table_array, Column_Index, Range_Lookup)

Application.WorksheetFunction.Vlookup(Lookup_Value, Table_array, Column_Index,

Range_Lookup)

VLOOKUP (lookup_value, table_array, Column_Index, range_lookup)

EXAMPLE =>

1) Application.Vlookup(“Amit”, “B3:D13”, 3, False)

2) =Vlookup(“Amit”, $B$3:$D$13, {1,2,3,4} , False)

Select the exact number of cells from the above e.g. 5 cells than write the above

formula and then press ‘ctrl+shift+enter’

3) Application.WorksheetFunction.Vlookup (“A*”, “B3:D13”, 3, False)

4) =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(“Amit”,$G$16:$G$28,1,0)),"Not Exists","Exists")

Check if the value exists in the master list.

Few Important Points –

1) Vlookup Function performs a case insensitive lookup

2) Vlookup returns ‘#N/A’ if it is not able to find lookup value inside the table array.

3) Vlookup returns ‘#value!’ if the value of ‘column_index’ is less than the table array.

4) Vlookup returns ‘#Ref!’ if the value of ‘column_index’ is greater than the table array.

HLookup Function:-

Searches for a value in the top row of a table or an array of values, and then returns a value in

the same column from a row you specify in the table or array. Use HLOOKUP when your

comparison values are located in a row across the top of a table of data, and you want to look

down a specified number of rows. Use VLOOKUP when your comparison values are located in a

column to the left of the data you want to find.

SYNTAX =>

Application. HLOOKUP (Lookup_Value, Table_array, row_index_num, Range_Lookup)

Application.WorksheetFunction. HLOOKUP (Lookup_Value, Table_array,

row_index_num, Range_Lookup)

HLOOKUP (lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range_lookup])

EXAMPLE =>

=HLOOKUP ("Axles", A1:C4, 2, TRUE) OUTPUT -> Looks up Axles in row 1, and returns the

value from row 2 that's in the same column.

Application. HLOOKUP (“Amit”, “B3:D13”, 3, False)

Few Important Points –

1) Hlookup Function performs a case insensitive lookup

2) If lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in the first row of table_array, HLOOKUP

returns the ‘#N/A’ error value.

3) If range_lookup is FALSE and lookup_value is text, you can use the wildcard characters,

question mark (?) and asterisk (*), in lookup_value. A question mark matches any single

character; an asterisk matches any sequence of characters. If you want to find an actual

question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) before the character.

PIVOT Table Function:-

Represents a PivotTable report on a worksheet. The PivotTable object is a member of the PivotTables collection. The PivotTables collection contains all the PivotTable objects on a single worksheet. Because PivotTable report programming can be complex, it’s generally easiest to record PivotTable report actions and then revise the recorded code

EXAMPLE =>

Dim ws As Worksheet

Dim pc As PivotCache

Dim pt As PivotTable

Set ws = Worksheets.Add

Set pc = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(xlDatabase, "Sheet1!R1C1:R10C3")

Set pt = pc.CreatePivotTable(ws.Range("A3"))

With pt

With .PivotFields("Department")

.Orientation = xlRowField

.Position = 1

ms-help://MS.EXCEL.DEV.14.1033/EXCEL.DEV/content/HV10328888.htm

End With

With .PivotFields("Region")

.Orientation = xlColumnField

.Position = 1

End With

.AddDataField .PivotFields("Profit"), "Sum of Profit", xlSum

End With

Below is the data needed to be available on sheet1 for creating pivot table.

PIVOTCHART:-

Represents a chart in a workbook. The chart can be either an embedded chart (contained in a ChartObject object) or a separate chart sheet. The following properties and methods for returning a Chart object are described in the example section:

EXAMPLE =>

Dim pt As PivotTable

Dim ptr As Range

Dim cht As Chart

If ActiveSheet.PivotTables.Count = 0 Then

Exit Sub

End If

Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)

Set ptr = pt.TableRange1

Set cht = Charts.Add

With cht

.SetSourceData ptr

Department Region Profit

109 5 11900

107 3 400

109 2 1200

108 6 78


.ChartType = xlLine

.HasTitle = True

.ChartTitle.Text = "Code Snippet for Pivot Chart"

End With

CurrentRegion Property:-

Returns a Range object that represents the current region. The current region is a range bounded by any

combination of blank rows and blank columns. Read-only.

SYNTAX =>

Expression.CurrentRegion

EXAMPLE =>

Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select ‘Select the Range

Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter ‘Add autofilter to the Range

a = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Address ‘Return the address of the selected range.

MsgBox a

Excel VBA Conditional Statements

If...Then...Else Statements:- You can use the If..Then..Else statement to run a specific statement or a block of statements, depending

on the value of a condition.

If..Then..Else statements can be nested to as many levels as you need.

To run only one statement when a condition is True, use the single-line syntax of the If...Then...Else

statement. ->

If a = 1 Then C = d+2

To run more than one line of code, you must use the multiple-line syntax. This syntax includes the End If

statement. ->

If a = 1 Then

b = d + 2

c = d / 2

e = d * 2

End if

You can add ElseIf statements to an If...Then...Else statement to test a second condition if the first

condition is False. ->

If a = 1 Then

c = d + 2

ElseIf a = 2 Then

c = d / 2

Else

c = 0

End if

Select Case Statements:- Use the Select Case statement as an alternative to using ElseIf in If...Then...Else statements when

comparing one expression to several different values. ->

Select Case performance

Case 1

Bonus = salary * 0.1

Case 2, 3


Case 4 To 6


Case Is > 8

Bonus = 100

Case Else

Bonus = 0

Error Handling

When VBA encounters an error and you have no error-checking code in place, the program stops and

presents you with “continue, End, Debug, Help” error message i.e. Run-time error.

On Error GoTo:-

The basic error-handling option is to tell VBA that in the case of an error you want to have code branch

to a specific area of the macro.

A typical scenario is to add the error-handling routine at the end of the macro:

1) After the last code line of the macro, insert the code line Exit sub.

2) After the Exit Sub line, add a label. A label is name followed by colon. For example, you might

create a label called MyErrorHandler:

3) Write the code to handle the error. If you want to return control of the macro to the line after

the one that caused the error, use the statement Resume Next.

EXAMPLE =>

Generic Error Handler ->

On Error Goto HandleAny

Sheet(9).Select

Exit Sub

HandleAny:

Msg = “We encountered “ & Err.Number & “-“ & Err.Description

Msgbox Msg

Ignoring Errors ->

MyFile = “filename”

On Error Resume Next

Workbooks.Open MyFile

On Error Goto 0

Below are the Common Run-time Errors which are encountered –

1) Runtime Error 9:Subscript Out Of Range

The Runtime Error 9 is often caused when you expect a worksheet to be there and it has been

deleted or renamed by the user / client.

2) Runtime Error 1004: Method Range of Object Global Failed

The Runtime Error 1004 can be caused by a number of things.
