Introduction to Excel 2013 with VBA 

This book focuses on Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the programming language built into Excel (and other applications that make up Microsoft Office).

More specifically, it will show you how to write programs that automate various tasks in Excel.

This book covers everything from recording simple macros through creating sophisticated user-oriented applications and utilities.

This book does not cover Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO), a technology that uses Visual Basic  .

NET and Microsoft Visual C#. VSTO can also be used to control Excel and other Microsoft Office applications. As you may know, Excel 2013 is available for other platforms.

For example, you can use Microsoft's Excel Web App in your browser, and even run Excel on ARM-based Windows RT devices.

These versions do not support VBA. In other words, this book is for the desktop version of Excel 2013 for Windows.

experience with Excel, a better choice might be my Excel 2013 Bible, which provides comprehensive coverage of all the features of Excel and is meant for users of all levels.

To get the most out of this book, you should be a relatively experienced Excel user. I assume that you know how to Create workbooks, insert sheets, save files, and so on Navigate through a workbook .

Use the Excel Ribbon user interface Enter formulas Use Excel's worksheet functions Name cells and ranges Use basic Windows features, such as file management techniques and the Clipboard .

If you don't know how to perform the preceding tasks, you could find some of this material over your head, so consider yourself warned.

If you're an experienced spreadsheet user who hasn't used Excel 2013, Chapter 1 presents a brief overview of what this product offers.To make the best use of this book, you need a copy of Excel 2013.

Although most of the material also applies to Excel 2003 and later versions, I assume that you're using Excel 2013.

Excel 2007 and later versions are radically different from their predecessors, but the VBA environment hasn't changed.

If you plan to develop applications that will be used in earlier versions of Excel, I strongly suggest that you don't use Excel 2013 for your development work. Rather, use the earliest version of Excel that your target audience will be using.

This book isn't intended for any version of Excel for Mac. Any computer system that can run Windows will suffice, but you'll be much better off with a fast machine with plenty of memory.

Excel is a large program, and using it on a slower system or a system with minimal memory can be extremely frustrating.
