What is VBA Programming in Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool that you can use to manipulate, analyze, and present data. Built within Excel is a computer programming language called VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). The idea is by writing a VBA computer program, you can instruct Microsoft Excel to perform complex, repetitive and even mundane tasks on your behalf. Used properly on suitable problems, a VBA program working within Excel can have wide ranging automation benefits that can increase a department’s productivity. As machine automation begins to take over many human tasks, learning how to code has been said to be an attractive employability skill for the future.
