CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
TO VBAAND
THE EXCEL
OBJECT MODEL

INTRODUCTION
TO VBA
• VBA stands for Visual Basic for
Applications
• It is a programming language built into
Microsoft Office applications
• Allows you to automate tasks and add
functionality to your Office documents

EXAMPLES OF
WHAT YOU CAN
DO WITH VBA IN
EXCEL
Interact Interact with other applications (e.g.,Word, PowerPoint)
Create Create custom functions
Validate Validate data
Add Add custom buttons and menus
Automate Automate repetitive tasks

CONCLUSION
• VBA is a powerful tool for extending the
functionality of Excel and automating
tasks
• In this course, we will learn how to use
VBA to perform all these tasks and more

UNDERSTANDING THE EXCEL
OBJECT MODELAND HOW TO
ACCESS IT WITH VBA

WHAT IS THE
EXCEL OBJECT
MODEL?
• Hierarchy of objects that represents the
components of an Excel workbook
• At the top is the Application object,
representing the entire Excel application
• Below the Application object are other
objects such as the Workbook object and
the Worksheet object

HOW TO ACCESS THE
EXCEL OBJECT MODEL IN
VBA
Create an instance of the
Application object
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Set xlApp = New
Excel.Application
Use the Application object
to access other objects in
the model
Dim xlWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Set xlWorkbook =
xlApp.Workbooks("Book1.xlsx")
Dim xlWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set xlWorksheet =
xlWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Step Code
1 Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
2
Dim xlWorkbook As
Excel.Workbook
Set xlWorkbook =
xlApp.Workbooks("Book1.xlsx")
3
Dim xlWorksheet As
Excel.Worksheet
Set xlWorksheet =
xlWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

EXAMPLES OF MANIPULATING OBJECTS IN
THE EXCEL OBJECT MODEL
Activate a specific
worksheet:
xlWorksheet.Activa
te
Read or write the
value of a cell:
Dim cellValue As
Variant
cellValue =
xlWorksheet.Range
("A1").Value

CONCLUSION
• The Excel Object Model allows
you to access and manipulate the
components of an Excel workbook
using VBA
• In the next lesson, we will learn
how to use VBA to manipulate
cells and ranges in Excel.

Create a set of
instructions that
tell Excel what to
do
01
Can be simple or
complex
programs
02
Use the VBE's
code window to
write code
03

TESTING VBA CODE
Use the Run button or the F5
key to run the code
01
Test the code to ensure it is
working correctly
02

DEBUGGING VBE CODE
Use the VBE's debugging
tools (Immediate window,
Locals window, Watch
window)
01
Use breakpoints to pause the
execution of the code and
examine data
02

CONCLUSION
• Writing and debugging VBA code
involves creating and testing code
using the tools and features of the
VBE
• By using these tools, you can
create VBA code to automate tasks
and add functionality to your Excel
workbooks.

WORKING WITH VARIABLES, DATA
TYPES, AND OPERATORS IN VBA

WHAT ARE VARIABLES?
STORAGE LOCATIONS THAT
HOLD A VALUE OR REFERENCE
TO AN OBJECT
USE VARIABLES TO STORE
DATA NEEDED IN YOUR CODE

DATA TYPES IN VBA
Determine the kind of value
that a variable can hold
Examples: Integer, Long,
Single, Double, String, Boolean

OPERATORS IN VBA
Symbols that perform operations on values
and variables
Examples: + (addition), - (subtraction),*
(multiplication), = (equal to), < (less than),
> (greater than)

USING VARIABLES AND OPERATORS IN VBA
CODE
Perform calculations Make decisions using
If...Then statements

CONCLUSION
• Variables, data types, and operators
are important concepts in VBA that
allow you to store and manipulate data
in your code
• By using these concepts, you can
perform calculations and make
decisions in your VBA code to
automate tasks and add functionality
to your Excel workbooks.

USING LOOPS AND DECISION-
MAKING STATEMENTS IN VBA

WHAT ARE
LOOPS?
CONTROL STRUCTURES
THAT ALLOWYOU TO
REPEAT A BLOCK OF CODE
TWO TYPES: FOR...NEXT
LOOPS AND DO...LOOP
LOOPS

FOR...NEXT
LOOPS
A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF
TIMES
ITERATE THROUGH A
RANGE OF VALUES OR
THROUGH THE ELEMENTS
OF AN ARRAY

DO...LOOP
LOOPS
UNTIL A CERTAIN
CONDITION IS MET
PERFORM AN ACTION
REPEATEDLY OR KEEP
PERFORMING AN ACTION
UNTIL THE USER CANCELS

DECISION-
MAKING
STATEMENTS
MAKE DECISIONS IN YOUR
VBA CODE BASED ON THE
VALUES OF VARIABLES OR
EXPRESSIONS
TWO TYPES: IF...THEN
STATEMENTS AND SELECT
CASE STATEMENTS

IF...THEN
STATEMENTS
EXECUTE A BLOCK OF
CODE IF A CERTAIN
CONDITION IS MET
USE THE ELSE CLAUSE TO
EXECUTE A DIFFERENT
BLOCK OF CODE IF THE
CONDITION IS NOT MET

SELECT CASE
STATEMENTS
TEST A VARIABLE OR
EXPRESSION AGAINST A
LIST OF VALUES
EXECUTE DIFFERENT
BLOCKS OF CODE
DEPENDING ON THE VALUE
THAT IS MATCHED

CONCLUSION
• Loops and decision-making
statements are important control
structures in VBA that allow you to
repeat actions and make decisions in
your code
• By using loops and decision-making
statements, you can automate tasks
and add functionality to your Excel
workbooks.

access and manipulate the external
program

USING THE
GETOBJECT
FUNCTION TO
ACCESS A
WORKBOOK IN
EXCEL
• Example: Set wb =
GetObject("Workbook1.xlsx")
• Example: cellValue =
wb.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1).Value

USING THE
GETOBJECT
FUNCTION TO
ACCESS

) Do Until file.AtEndOfStream
line = file.ReadLine 'Do
something with the line here
Loop
Insert

WRITING DATA
TO A TEXT FILE
and the WriteLine method
Use
fso.OpenTextFile("TextFile2.txt",
2,True) For i = 0 To
UBound(array) file.WriteLine
array(i) Next
Insert

READING DATA
FROM A CSV
FILE
and the Split function

userform and draw
the control to the
desired size
Set the properties
of the control using
the Properties
window

DISPLAYING AND CLOSING THE USERFORM
USE THE SHOW
METHOD TO DISPLAY
THE USERFORM:
MYUSERFORM.SHOW
Use the Unload
method to close the
userform:Unload
MyUserForm

GETTING USER INPUT FROM CONTROLS
USE THE VALUE PROPERTY
TO GET THE VALUE OF A
CONTROL:VALUE =
TEXTBOX1.VALUE

CONCLUSION
• Userforms in Excel VBA allow
you to create custom dialog boxes
for user input and interaction
• You can add controls such as
buttons, labels, text boxes, and list
boxes to the userform to create the
user interface
• The Show and Unload methods can
be used to display and close the
userform, and the Value property
can be used to get user input from
the controls.

USING VBA WITH EVENTS
IN EXCEL

WHAT ARE
EVENTS IN
EXCEL VBA?
Occurrences that
trigger the execution of
a specific block of code
Examples:Worksheet
Change, Before Save,
Selection Change

CREATING AN
EVENT
PROCEDURE
Select the worksheet
or workbook in the
Visual Basic Editor
Double-click on the
event in the Properties
window

ADDING CODE
TO AN EVENT
PROCEDURE
Specify the
actions to
take when the
event occurs

USING THE
WORKSHEET
CHANGE
EVENT
Executed when the
value of a cell is
changed
Use the Target object
to refer to the cell that
was changed

USING THE
BEFORE SAVE
EVENT
Executed before a
workbook is saved
Use the Cancel
parameter to cancel
the save action

USING THE
SELECTION
CHANGE
EVENT

to refer to the cell that
was selected

CONCLUSION
• Events in Excel VBA allow you to
execute code when a specific action
occurs in a workbook or worksheet
• You can create event procedures and
add code to them to specify the
actions to take when the event
occurs
• Some common events in Excel VBA
include the Worksheet Change
event, the Before Save event, and
the Selection Change event.
