Introduction

      For most of us, the path to Excel VBA programming starts with the need to perform some task that can't be done with the standard tools in Excel. That task is different for each of us. Maybe that task is to create separate workbooks automatically for all the rows in a data set. Maybe that task is to automate the emailing of dozens of reports. Whatever that task is for you, you can bet that someone has started their own journey into Excel VBA with the same need.

      The beautiful thing about Excel VBA is that you don't have to be an expert to start solving problems with it. You can learn just enough to solve a particular problem, or you can go further and discover ways to handle all kinds of automation scenarios.

      Whatever your goals may be, Excel 2019 Power Programming with VBA will help you harness the power of the VBA language to automate tasks, work smarter, and be more productive.

Topics Covered

      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 shows 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.

      You can approach this book in any way you please. You can read it from cover to cover, or you can skip around, picking up useful tidbits here and there. VBA programming is often a task-oriented endeavor. So, if you're faced with a challenging task, you might try the index first to see where the book might specifically address your problem.

      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 2019 is available for other platforms. For example, you can use Microsoft's Excel Web App in your browser and even iPads and tablets. These versions do not support VBA. In other words, this book is for the desktop version of Excel 2019 for Windows.

What You Need to Know

      This is not a book for beginning Excel users. If you have no experience with Excel, a better choice might be the Excel 2019 Bible (Wiley, 2018), which provides comprehensive coverage of all the features of Excel and is meant for users of all levels.
