Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a powerful development technology for customizing desktop applications and integrating them with existing data and systems, enabling customers to buy off-the-shelf software and customize it to meet their specific needs. This is a big cost-saving solution for most business who cannot afford to build programs from scratch. There are an estimated 65 million Excel users. Many are Excel power users, but few have figured out how to effectively use Excel VBA. This book teaches the skills necessary to use Microsoft VBA to customize the Excel spreadsheet. No prior programming knowledge is assumed. It takes a reader who has, perhaps, built a couple of macros from a standing start to a complete knowledge of the VBA language. Topics covered include: event programming, user forms, charts, pivot tables, Web queries, multi-dimensional arrays, classes, records, and collections, and more!
