Study Notes
Overview of Excel VBA II
- Focuses on objects, properties, methods, and formulas in Excel VBA.
- Key objects include Workbooks, Worksheets, Ranges, Charts, and the Application.
Objects in Excel VBA
- Application: Represents the Excel application as a whole.
- Workbooks and Worksheets: Workbooks contain multiple Worksheet objects. Each Worksheet can be activated, and its visibility can be toggled.
- Range: Represents parts of the worksheet, such as individual cells, rows, columns, or multiple contiguous cells.
- Chart: Represents chart objects within workbooks.
Workbooks and Worksheets
- Not frequently manipulated; main interactions involve activation and visibility.
- The
Activate
method is vital for managing visibility. - Worksheets are commonly hidden or shown based on user navigation preferences.
Visibility Management Example
- Use Workbook's
Open
event procedure to set the “Welcome” Worksheet as visible and all others as hidden upon opening.
Ranges
- Ranges are extensively used in VBA with various properties and methods categorized by function.
- Common methods to clear ranges:
Clear
clears all.ClearContents
clears only values/formulas.ClearFormats
removes formatting only.
Copy and PasteSpecial Methods
- Used for transferring values and formats between ranges.
Copy
method has no arguments.PasteSpecial
can specify what to paste with four arguments (e.g., values, formats).
Referencing in VBA
- Naming an object typically uses the
Name
property. - Range referencing can be done through various methods:
Offset
,Cells
,Rows
,Columns
,EntireRow
,EntireColumn
,End
.
Offset vs. Cells
- Offset: Starts at the 0th row/column, allowing repositioning based on a given count.
- Cells: Starts at the 1st row/column, makes finding positions relative to the specified range.
EntireRow and EntireColumn
- Modify all rows/columns in a specified range.
- Useful for formatting entire rows or columns based on their length.
End Property
- Identifies the end of data in rows or columns within a range.
- Useful values:
xlDown
,xlUp
,xlToRight
,xlToLeft
.
Named Ranges
- Naming gives a reference to a range, supporting both
Cells
andOffset
properties. - Supports formatting operations through the named range.
Formulas in VBA
- Incorporate Excel functions through:
- Range Object: Using
Formula
andFormulaR1C1
properties. - Application Object: Uses
WorksheetFunction
for direct calculation within cells.
- Range Object: Using
Using the Application Object
- Directly assigns calculation results into cells by specifying the function through
Application.WorksheetFunction
.
Using the Range Object
- The
Formula
property allows inserting Excel functions directly, whileAutoFill
can replicate formulas over a specified range efficiently.
Example for Calculating Values
- The Application object can place the result of calculations directly into specified cells.
- Both
Formula
andFormulaR1C1
can be utilized for performing calculations, withAutoFill
enhancing productivity in filling formulas across ranges.
