- 2. Excel Functions The VLookupfunction searches for value in the left-most column of table_array and returns the value in the same row based on the index_number. Syntax: VLookup( value, table_array, index_number, not_exact_match ) value is the value to search for in the first column of the table_array. table_array is two or more columns of data that is sorted in ascending order. index_number is the column number in table_array from which the matching value must be returned. The first column is 1. not_exact_match boolean value to determine if you are looking for an exact match based on value.

- 60. Debugging a macro Whenyou write a macro, you need to test it and correct any errors in the macro. To debug a macro insert breakpoints. Breakpoint enables you to step through the macro, one command at a time. As you step through the macro, you can correct any errors you locate.
- 61. Other Methods fordebugging VBA code Immediate Window The Immediate Window is a window in the VBE in which you can enter commands and view and change the contents of variables while you code is in Break mode or when no macro code is executing. Debug.Print You can use the Debug.Print statement anywhere in your code to display messages or variable values in the Immediate Window. Debug.Assert In Excel 2000 and later, you can use Debug.Assert statements to cause the code to break if a condition is not met. Locals Window The Locals Window displays all the variables in a procedure (as well as global variables declared at the project or module level) and their values.
- 62. Debugging a vbacode example 1. Write an excel code to take input from a cell and export the current sheet into that data, use local window, immediate window, and debug.print to check that the code is working correctly.

Editor's Notes
- #3 HLOOKUP is the exact same function as Vlookup, but looks up data that has been formatted by rows instead of columns
- #4 Combine IF and VLOOKUPYou can use an IF formula with an Excel VLookup formula, to return exact values if found, and an empty string if not found. If VLookup formula has FALSE as the fourth argument, the result is #N/A, because there is no exact match found. Wrap the VLookup formula with an IF formula (in this example the product list has been named), using the ISNA function to check for an #N/A error:For example consider an invoice sheet matching product code:=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A8,ProductList,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A8,ProductList,2,FALSE))
- #5 Some example uses of pivot tables and pivot chartsSummarizing data like finding the average sales for each region for each product from a product sales data table.Listing unique values in any column of a table Creating a pivot report with sub-totals and custom formatsMaking a dynamic pivot chartFiltering, sorting, drilling-down data in the reports without writing one formula or macro.Transposing data – i.e. moving rows to columns or columns to rows. [learn more]Linking data sources outside excel and be able to make pivot reports out of such data.
- #7 Some useful tips on Excel Pivot TablesYou can apply any formatting to the pivot tables. You can easily change the pivot table summary formulas. Right click on pivot table and select “summerize data by” option.You can also apply conditional formatting on pivot tables although you may want to be a bit careful as pivot tables scale in size depending on the data.Whenever the original data from which pivot tables are constructed, just right click on the pivot table and select “Refresh Data” option.If you want to drill down on a particular summary value, just double click on it. Excel will create a new sheet with the data corresponding to that pivot report value. Making a pivot chart from a pivot table is very simple. Just click on the pivot chart icon from tool bar or Options ribbon area and follow the wizard.
- #8 Pivot Chart Tips and TroubleshootingChanges to the Pivot Chart affect the Pivot TableRefreshing the Pivot Table Removes FormattingCan't Undo after Creating a Pivot ChartCan't Move or Resize some Elements in a Pivot Chart
- #11 You can assign a macro to a few types of objects:Forms Menu Button or ShapeActiveX Button Menu or Toolbar Button Forms Menu Controls1. First make the Forms toolbar visible. Like so many other things in Excel,2. Select the Button button, then draw a rectangle in the worksheet where you want to place the button (you can move and resize it later).The Assign Macro dialog pops up with a list of macros in the active worksheet for you to select from.3. Select a macro and click OK, or Cancel (you can select a macro at a future time). You can edit the text of the button after you dismiss the dialog, or right click on the button any time. You can assign a macro to any of the Forms toolbar controlsAssign Macro to shapesYou can assign a macro to any shape (including any chart) on a worksheet. Right click on the shape, choose Assign Macro, and follow the steps above
- #14 VBEThe VBE refers to the Visual Basic Editor, which includes all the windows and projects that make up the editor.VBProjectA VBProject contains all the code modules and components of a single workbook. One workbook has exactly one VBProject. The VBProject is made up of 1 or more VBComponent objects.VBComponentA VBComponent is one object within the VBProject. A VBComponent is a code module, a UserForm, a class module, one of the Sheet modules, or the ThisWorkbook module.CodeModuleA CodeModule is the VBA source code of a VBComponent. You use the CodeModule object to access the code associated with a VBComponent. A VBComponent has exactly one CodeModule.CodePaneA CodePane is an open editing window of a CodeModuleIDE ComponentsProject ExplorerAll VBComponent in the Project appear in Project Explorer, to open any code module double click on that component in the Project Explorer.Properties WindowThe properties of all VBComponents can be viewed using properties windows. Select a component and click view->properties window or press F4 to view the properties of that object.Code WindowThe code for any object is written in code window. Code window contains the object name (such as workbook or worksheet) and the events associated with that object.
- #18 Most programming languages today deal with objects, a concept called object oriented programming. Although Excel VBA is not a truly object oriented programming language, it does deal with objects. VBA object is something like a tool or a thing that has certain functions and properties, and can contain data. For example, an Excel Worksheet is an object, cell in a worksheet is an object, range of cells is an object, font of a cell is an object, a command button is an object, and a text box is an object and more.
- #22 An Event is an action initiated either by user action or by other VBA code. An Event Procedure is a Sub procedure that you write, according to the specification of the event, which is called automatically by Excel when an event occurs. For example, a Worksheet object has an event named Change. If you have properly programmed the event procedure for the Change event, Excel will automatically call that procedure, always named Worksheet_Change and always in the code module of the worksheet, whenever the value of any cell on the worksheet is changed by user input or by other VBA code.
- #23 NOTE: Worksheets name are not case-sensitive, and must always be enclosed in double quotes.
- #24 Module:You perform actions in VBA by writing (or recording) code in a VBA module sheet and then executing the macro in any one of various ways. VBA modules are stored in an Excel workbook, and a workbook can hold any number of VBA modules. Procedure: A procedure is basically computer code that performs some action. The following is an example of a simple Sub procedure called ShowSum (it adds 1 + 1 and displays the result):Sub ShowSum()Sum = 1 + 1MsgBox “The answer is “ & SumEnd Sub
- #27 Since value is the default method of Range so we may use alternatively:Range(“A1”).values or Range(“A1”) have the same meaning
- #31 NOTE: cells works from column to row
- #32 Offset is generally used to refer dynamically to a cell. Foe example if you know the current cell is A5, to go to A4, I can work with Currentcell.offset(0,-1)
- #42 Another Example:This procedure checks the active cell. If it contains a negative value, the cell’s color is changed to red. Otherwise, nothing happens.Sub CheckCell()If ActiveCell.Value < 0 Then ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 3End Sub
- #46 The With-End With constructAnother construct that you encounter if you record macros is the With-End With construct. This is a shortcut way of dealing with several properties or methods of the same object.The following is an example:Sub AlignCells()With Selection.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter.WrapText = False.Orientation = xlHorizontalEnd WithEnd Sub
- #48 To actually allow the user to enter some text, number or even a formula we can use the InputBox Function. The syntax for the InputBox Function is;InputBox(prompt[, title] [, default] [, xpos] [, ypos] )Example for InputBoxSub GetUserName() Dim strName As String strName = InputBox(Prompt:="You name please.", _ Title:="ENTER YOUR NAME", Default:="Your Name here") If strName = "Your Name here" Or _strName = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Else strName = Activecell.Value End If End Sub
- #49 MsgBox function displays a message in a window and waits for click on a button.Example of using Yes-No Message Box:Sub MessageBoxExample() Dim iRet As Integer Dim strPrompt As String Dim strTitle As String ' PromtstrPrompt = "Ask Your Question Here, OK?" ' Dialog's TitlestrTitle = "My Tite" 'Display MessageBoxiRet = MsgBox(strPrompt, vbYesNo, strTitle) ' Check pressed button If iRet = vbNo ThenMsgBox "NO!" ElseMsgBox "Yes!" End IfEnd SubMessage Box returns an integer value to indicate clicked button (Yes, No, Cancel, etc.):
- #53 To rename a worksheet use name property of the worksheet. For example:Worksheet(“Sheet1”).Name = “NewName”
- #55 The main reason is that creating a custom function can greatly simplify your formulas by making them shorter, and shorter formulas are more readable and easier to work with. For example, you can often replace a complex formula with a single function. Another reason is that you can write functions to performoperations that would otherwise be impossible.The following is an example of a simple UDF that calculates the area of a rectangle:Function RectangleArea(Height As Double, Width As Double) As Double RectangleArea = Height * Width End FunctionThis function takes as inputs two Double type variables, Height and Width, and returns a Double as its result. Once you have defined the UDF in a code module, you can call it from a worksheet cell with a formula like:=RectangleArea(A1,B1)where A1 and B1 contain the Height and Width of the rectangle.NOTE: A UDF can only return a value to the cell(s) whence it was called -- it must not modify the contents or formatting of any cell and must not modify the operating environment of Excel. If you attempt to change anything, the function will terminate immediately and return a #VALUE error to the calling cell.Because functions take inputs and return a value, they are not displayed in the list of procedures in the Macros dialog.The code for a UDF should be placed in a standard code module, not one of the Sheet modules and not in the ThisWorkbook module.
- #64 Debugging Mechanism:Break PointsA break point is a setting on a line of code that tells VBA to pause execution immediately before that line of code is executed. Code execution is placed in what is called break mode. When VBA is in break mode, you can enter commands in to the Immediate Window to display or change the values of variables.Stepping Through CodeNormally, your code runs unattended. It executes until its logical end. However, when you are testing code, it is often useful to step through the code line by line, watching each line of code take effect. This makes it easy to determine exactly what line is causing incorrect behavior. You can step through code line by line by pressing the F8 key to start the procedure in which the cursor is, or when VBA is paused at a break point. If your procedure calls another procedure, pressing F8 will cause VBA to step inside that procedure and execute it line by line. When you are in a called procedure, you can use CTRL+SHIFT+F8 to "Step Out" of the current procedure. This causes VBA to execute until the end of the procedure is reached (an End Sub or Exit Sub statement) and then stop at the line of code immediately following the line which called the procedure. choosing it from the View menu.
