VBA and Macros: Microsoft Excel 2010

Description

Using Microsoft Excel 2010 VBA scripting features, Excel users can save dozens - or even hundreds - of hours per year. But most Excel users have never written a VBA script: many haven't even used Excel's built-in Macro Recorder. VBA and Macros is the solution. One simple step at a time, two leading Excel VBA scripting experts teach all the techniques needed to automate virtually any Excel task and customize virtually any Excel report or business solution. Bill Jelen ("MrExcel") and top Excel VBA consultant Tracy Syrstad begin with the absolute basics, including ranges, user-defined functions, looping, flow control, R1C1-style formulas, and event programming. Next, they cover all this, and much more: " Automating Excel 2010's brand-new features " Writing Excel 2010 code that works with older versions of Excel " Creating charts, PivotTables, and other data visualizations " Mining data with Excel's Advanced Filter " Reading from and writing to the Web " Using XML from within Excel " Using Microsoft Access as a back end to enhance multi-user access to data " Handling errors " Customizing the Excel 2010 Ribbon to run macros This book is part of the new MrExcel Library series, edited by Bill Jelen, world-renowned Excel expert and host of the enormously popular Excel help site, MrExcel.com.
