13.1 By default, Excel doesn’t size the comment boxes to show all the entered text.
Excel 2016 VBA and Macros Dr. Kamal Gulati

13.2 Resize the comment boxes to fit all the text.

13.3 Place a chart in a cell comment.

13.4 Use conditional formatting to highlight the row and column of the selected cell in a table.

13.5 The ModifyRightClick procedure provides a custom context menu for deselecting
noncontiguous cells.

13.6 Show the drill-down record set on the same sheet as the pivot table.

13.7 When you use the macro, the list in A:C is sorted first by date and then by the custom sort list
in Column I.

13.8 Use indicators in cells to show progress.

13.9 Use an input box as a secure password field.

13.10 You can now change the case of words, just like in Word.

14.1 You can find your UDFs under the User Defined category of the Insert Function dialog box.

14.2 Use the Function Arguments dialog to enter your arguments.

14.3 Use a UDF to show the filename or the filename with the directory path.

14.4 Even after forcing a recalculation, the DateTime() cell shows the time when it was originally
placed in the cell, whereas NOW() shows the current system time.

14.5 Validating email addresses.

14.6 Sum cells based on interior color.

14.7 Count the number of unique values in a range.

14.8 Find the value of the first nonzero-length cell in a range.

14.9 Substitute multiple characters in a cell.

14.10 Convert a week number into a date more easily referenced.

14.11 Extracting a single element from delimited text.

14.12 Sort and concatenate a range of variables.

14.13 Sort a mixed alphanumeric list.

14.14 Return a result that identifies which cells contain a specified string.

14.15 Return the addresses of all maximum values in a range.

14.16 Extract the hyperlink address from behind a hyperlink.

14.17 Return the column letter of a cell address.

14.18 Produce random numbers that are not quite so volatile.

14.19 Example of using the Select...Case structure in a UDF rather than nested If... Then
statements.

15.1 Create a chart to fill a specific range.

15.2 Apply a chart style to quickly format a chart.

15.3 Color schemes in the menu are called Color 1, Color 2, and so on but have nothing to do with
the VBA settings.

15.4 ChartColor combinations include a mix of colors from the current theme.

15.5 The subtotals in this table cause a bad-looking chart.

15.6 The two small series are moved to a secondary axis.

15.7 The gridlines and the two series represented by a line correspond to the axis labels on the right
side.

16.1 Visualizations such as data bars, color scales, icon sets, and top/bottom rules are controlled in
the Excel user interface from the Conditional Formatting drop-down on the Home tab of the ribbon.

16.2 Excel 2016 offers many variations on data bars.

16.3 Data bars created by the macros in this section.

16.4 Color scales enable you to show hot spots in your data set.

16.5 With additional icons, the complexity of the code increases.

16.6 These default rules appear when you add a three-icon set.

16.7 Although the first two ranges have no cell icon, use the number values to force the red X to
before <=66.

16.8 The dark bars are red, and the lighter bars are green. VBA was used to create two overlapping
data bars, and then the Formula property hid the top bars for cells 90 and below.

16.9 VBA created this mixture of five different icon sets in a single range. The Formula property in
VBA is the key to combining icon sets.

16.10 The AddUniqueValues method can mark cells such as those in columns A and C.
Unfortunately, it cannot mark the truly useful pattern in column E.

16.11 A formula-based condition can mark the first unique occurrence of each value, as shown in
column A, or the entire row with the largest sales, as shown in D:F.

16.12 Since Excel 2007, conditional formats have been able to specify a specific number format.

17.1 Arrange the data for the sparklines in a contiguous range.

17.2 Three default sparklines.

17.3 Each sparkline assigns the minimum and maximum scales to be just outside these limits.

17.4 All three sparklines have the same minimum and maximum scales, but you don’t know what it
is.

17.5 You’ve manually assigned a min and max scale, but it does not appear on the chart.

17.6 Labels on the left show the min and max. Labels on the right show the final value.

17.7 The current theme includes 12 colors.

17.8 All but the hyperlink colors from the theme appear across the top row. The decimal numbers
indicated in the are explained in a minute.

17.9 Shades of one theme color.

17.10 A default sparkline.

17.11 Add the horizontal axis to show which months were above or below budget.

17.12 Use a nonsparkline feature to label the vertical axis.

17.13 Show All Markers.

17.14 Show only key markers.

17.15 This win/loss chart documents the most famous pennant race in history.

17.16 This summary of 1.8 million records is a sea of numbers.

17.17 One page summarizes the sales from hundreds of stores.

17.18 Detail of two sparkline charts.

18.1 VLOOKUP s at the top of the web worksheet find and pull the relevant data from a web page.

18.2 The results of running the web query hundreds of times.

18.3 The formatting is close to that of the original worksheet.

18.4 Companies everywhere are maintaining all sorts of data in Excel and are comfortable updating
the data in Excel. Why not marry Excel with a simple bit of VBA so that custom HTML can be
produced from Excel?

18.5 A simple content management system in Excel was used to generate this web page. The look
and feel match the look and feel of the rest of the website. Excel achieved it without any expensive
web database coding.

19.1 This file is fixed width. Because you must specify the exact length of each field in the file,
opening this file is quite involved.

19.2 Excel guesses at where each field starts and ends. In this case, it guessed incorrectly for two
of the fields.

19.3 After you add a new field marker and adjust the marker between Customer and Quantity to the
right place, Excel can build the code that gives you an idea of the start position and length of each
field.

19.4 The third column is a date, and you do not want to import the Cost and Profit columns.

19.5 This file is comma delimited. Opening this file involves telling Excel to look for a comma as the
delimiter and then identifying any special handling, such as treating the third column as a date. This
is much easier than handling fixedwidth files.

19.6 Before you import a delimited text file, the initial Data Preview window is a confusing mess of
data because Excel is looking for tab characters between fields when a comma is actually the
delimiter in this file.

19.7 After the delimiter field has been changed from a tab to a comma, the Data Preview window
looks perfect. This is certainly easier than the cumbersome process in step 2 for a fixed-width file.
Note that Excel ignores the commas in the Customer field when there are quotation marks around
the customer.

19.8 When you are reading a text file one row at a time, all the data fields end up in one long entry
in column A.

20.1 Early binding allows access to a Word object’s syntax.

20.2 Select the object library from the Available References list.

20.3 Excel won’t find the expected Word 2016 object library if the workbook is opened in Excel
2010.

20.4 Use the Watches window to get the real value behind a Word constant.

20.5 Use the Object Browser to get the real value of a Word constant.

20.6 The Range object selects everything in its path.

20.7 Paste Word text into an Excel text box.

20.8 Format the first word of each paragraph in a document.

20.9 Before: A paragraph with the Normal style needs to be changed to the H3 style.

20.10 After: Apply styles with code to change paragraph formatting quickly.

20.11 Use bookmarks to enter text or charts into a Word document.

20.12 You can use the form fields found under the Legacy Tools to add check boxes to a document.

20.13 Create an Excel sheet to collect your data.

20.14 Excel can control Word’s form fields and help automate filling out documents.

21.1 To read or write from an Access MDB file, add the reference for Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects
Library 2.8 or higher.

21.2 Multiple people using their own Excel workbooks will read and write to this table inside an MDB
file on a network drive.

21.3 Range("A2") .CopyFromRecord Set brought matching records from the Access database to the
worksheet.

21.4 This userform displays particular records from the Access record set. When the buyer selects
certain records and then clicks the Confirm button, you have to use ADO’s Update method to update
the Sent field on the selected records.

22.1 The UserForm toolbar has tools for organizing the controls on a userform.

22.2 Use the null value of the check box to verify that users have viewed and answered all options.

22.3 A tab strip allows a userform with multiple pages to share controls but not information.

22.4 Use RefEdit to enable the user to select a range on a sheet.

22.5 Using a scrollbar control allows the user to drag to a particular numeric or data value.

22.6 Use frames, collections, and class modules together to create quick and efficient userforms.

22.7 A modeless form enables the user to enter a cell while the form is still active.

22.8 Turn email addresses and websites into clickable links by using a few lines of code.

22.9 Flexible forms can be created if you add most controls at runtime.

22.10 The sales rep asked to see photos of six SKUs. The UserForm_Initialize procedure adds
each picture and label on the fly.

22.11 The logic in Userform_Initialize decides how many pictures are being displayed and adds the
appropriately sized image controls.

22.12 Use accelerator key combinations, like ALT+T to select Streaming, in order to give userforms
the power of keyboard shortcuts.

22.13 Add tips to controls to provide help to users.

22.14 Setting the list box properties creates a two-column list box that appears to be a single
column of data.

22.15 Use a two-column list box to allow the user to select a store name but return the store
number.

22.16 Create a 50% transparent form to view the data on the sheet behind it.

23.1 The GetUserName API function can be used to get a user’s Windows login name—which is
more difficult to edit than the Excel username. You can then control what rights a user has with your
program.

23.2 You can customize the About dialog used by Windows for your own program.

23.3 Disable the X button on a userform to force users to use the Close button to shut down the
form properly and prevent them from bypassing any code attached to the Close button.

24.1 With an unhandled error in an unprotected module, you get a choice to end or debug.

24.2 After clicking Debug, the macro is in break mode. Hover the cursor over a variable; after a few
seconds, the current value of the variable is shown.

24.3 The Reset button looks like the Stop button in the set of three buttons that resembles a DVD
control panel.

24.4 This message appears if you forget to click Reset to end a debug session and then attempt to
run another macro.

24.5 Select Debug in response to this error 13.

24.6 The line in error is indicated as the frmChoose.Show line.

24.7 With 25 items to add to the list box, you must press F8 53 times to get through this three-line
loop.

24.8 Runtime error 9 often occurs when you expect a worksheet to be there, but it has been deleted
or renamed by the client.

24.9 Runtime error 1004 can be caused by a number of things.

25.1 Create a customuUI14.xml file within a customui folder.

25.2 Run a program with a click of a button on your custom ribbon.

25.3 Using a zip utility, open the .xlsm file and copy in the customui folder and file.

25.4 Place your cursor in the correct spot for entering your custom ribbon relationship.

25.5 Placing your cursor over a command, such as Hyperlink, brings up the icon name,
HyperlinkInsert.

25.6 You can apply the image from any Microsoft Office icon to your custom button.

25.7 Create a_rels folder and an images folder within the customui folder to hold files relevant to
your custom image.

25.8 With a few more changes to your customui folder, you can add a custom image to a button.

25.9 Mis-cased attributes can generate errors. Read the error message carefully; it might help you
trace the problem.

25.10 For every opening <, you need a closing >.

25.11 An error in one line can lead to string of error messages because the other lines are now
considered out of order.

25.12 This rather generic message could appear for many reasons. Click Yes to try to repair the file.

25.13 Excel lets you know whether it has succeeded in repairing the file.

25.14 It’s important for the subs being called by your controls to have the proper arguments. Refer
to Table 25.2 for the various control arguments.

25.15 A missing quotation mark can generate a drastic message, but it’s easily fixed.

25.16 The simplest way to enable a client to run a macro is to assign a shortcut key to the macro.
Ctrl+Shift+H now runs the RunHello macro.

25.17 The form controls are found under the Insert icon on the Developer tab.

25.18 Macros can be assigned to any drawing object on the worksheet.

25.19 Use the Properties window to adjust aspects of the ActiveX button.

25.20 To run a macro from a hyperlink, you must create placeholder hyperlinks that link back to their
cells. Then, using an event handler macro in the worksheet’s code module, you can intercept the
hyperlink and run any macro.

26.1 Fill in the Title and Comments fields before converting a workbook to an add-in.

26.2 The Save As method changes the IsAddin property, changes the name, and automatically
saves the file in your AddIns folder.

26.3 Creating an add-in is as simple as changing the IsAddin property of ThisWorkbook.

26.4 Make sure to select Excel Add-ins, not COM Addins, from the drop-down.

26.5 The add-in is now available for use.

27.1 Con the location of your Office add-ins under Trusted Add-in Catalogs.

27.2 The Shared Folder lists any Office add-ins available in the active catalog.

27.3 By creating Hello World you take a first step in creating interactive Office add-ins.

27.4 Use JavaScript to create an Office Add-in that can perform a calculation with data from a
sheet.

27.5 Add other attributes to your button to change colors or add tooltip text for users.

27.6 JavaScript has its own equivalents to many VBA looping statements, such as for..in loop.

27.7 Using arrays is a common way of storing data in JavaScript, which offers many functions for
simplifying working with those arrays.

28.1 The macro recorder is limited when recording the creation of SmartArt. You need to trace
through the object’s properties to find what you need.
