Résumé

Microsoft's Excel is not only a powerful spreadsheet and graphics tool, it contains a programming language called Visual Basic for Application (VBA). VBA allows you to automate simple tasks, but also enables you to create full-featured applications that make Excel users more productive. In Definitive Guide to Excel VBA, Second Edition, Michael Kofler provides the definitive coverage VBA for Excel by showing how it can be used to implement real-world business solutions. Designed to be useful to programmers who have never used VBA before, it nevertheless covers advanced topics needed for users already familiar with VBA.

First, Kofler introduces VBA and shows examples of the kinds of tasks that can be performed. He then introduces the Excel object model, focusing on the unique characteristics of programming and debugging code associated with a spreadsheet. The next few chapters cover menus, toolbars, forms and templates – the tools for creating customized user interfaces and full-featured applications. Kofler then moves on to a broad range of advanced topics, including automating graphs and diagrams, accessing external databases from Excel and analyzing data using grouping and pivot-tables. He even covers ActiveX automation and accessing Web Services using the Web Service Toolkit.

Throughout the book, the author never loses sight of the real-world problems faced by Excel programmers. The author shows how to avoid undocumented or poorly documented problems that arise when programming Excel using VBA – the kind of practical knowledge that is usually gained only through hard-won experience.
