1. Modeling using VBA

2. Covered materials -Userforms -Controls -Module -Procedures & Functions -Variables -Scope

3. Variant “ Data Type ” In VB you don ’ t have to declare variable before its usage – Then, VB will by itself declare such variable as “ Variant ” You can also declare variable as “ Variant ” – Dim myVar as Variant Variant – means that the variable may contain any data type

4. Variables Assignment To assign a value to a Numeric or String type Variable, you simply use your Variable name, followed by the equals sign (=) and then the String or Numeric To assign an Object to an Object type variable you must use the key word "Set"

5. Variables Assignment – cont. Sub ParseValue() Dim varName as String varName = “Cuong Do” Dim varAge as Integer varAge = “28” Dim varCell as Range Set varCell = Range("A1") varCell.Value = “123” End Sub

6. VBA Variables Scope & Lifecycle The scope & lifecycle of a variable defines the code where the variable can be accessed and time when the stored data is kept inside the variable Procedure-Level – Variables defined inside procedures – Can be accessed only inside the procedure and keep their data until the End statement of the procedure Module-Level – Defined in the top of a Module – Any procedure inside the Module can access the variable – The variable retains the values unless the Workbook closes Project-Level, Workbook Level, or Public Module-Level – Defined as “ Public ” in the top of a Module – Can be accesses by any procedure in any module – The variable retains the values unless the Workbook closes

7. VBA Variables Scope & Lifecycle – cont. Sub scopeExample() Dim x as Integer x = 5 End Sub Dim y as Integer ‘ all the module procedures are here … Public z as Integer ‘ all the module procedures are here … Procedure level variables Module level variables Project level variables

10. Basic Excel Classes Workbook: the class represents an Excel file Worksheet: represents a single worksheet Cell: represents a single cell

11. Excel Containers Workbooks: a collection of objects of class “ Workbook ” Worksheets: a collection of objects of class “ Worksheet ” Range: a range of objects of class Cell

12. Referring to Cells by Using a Range Object Sub Random() Dim myRange As Range Set myRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:D5") myRange.Formula = "=RAND()" myRange.Font.Bold = True End Sub

13. Referring to Cells by Using a Range Object Sub Test1() Range("A10").Value = "123" End Sub Sub Test2() Set varRange = Range("A10") varRange.Value = "123" End Sub Sub Test3() Worksheets(1).Range("A10") = "123" End Sub Sub Test4() Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A10") = "123" End Sub Same outcome here

14. Referring to Multiple Ranges Sub ClearRanges() Worksheets("Sheet1")._ Range("C5:D9,G9:H16,B14:D18").ClearContents End Sub

15. Referring to Cells by Using Index Numbers Cells indexing format: – Cells(row, column), where both row and column are given as integers (starting from 1) – Cells(index) Sub EnterValue() Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(6, 1).Value = 10 End Sub Sub EnterValue() Worksheets(1).Range("A1:D3").Cells(7).Value = "Here it is" End Sub

16. Referencing Cells Relative to Other Cells ActiveCell.Offset(1, 2).Value = "Here it is"

17. Some useful methods/properties of Excel Classes Workbooks.Close – closes the active workbook Workbooks.Count – returns the number of currently open workbooks Range( “ A1 ” ) is the same as Range( “ A1 ” ).Value Cells( 1,1 ) is the same as Cells( 1,1 ).Value Worksheets(1).Column( “ A:B ” ).AutoFit Worksheets(1).Range( “ A1:A10 ” ).Sort_ Workbooks.Open fileName:= “ test.xls ”

18. Arrays Dim Students(1 to 5) As String Students(1) = “Jack” Students(2) = “Nick”

19. Multidimensional Arrays Dim Grades(1 to 5,1 to 2) Grades(1,1)=“Jack” Grades(1,2)=“A” Grades(2,1)=“Nick” Grades(2,2)=“B” For i=1 to 2 MsgBox Grades(i,1) & “ got ” & Grades(i,2) Next MsgBox Grades(1, 1) & " got " & Grades(1, 2) & vbCrLf & _ Grades(2, 1) & " got " & Grades(2, 2)

20. Resizing the Arrays Dim Grades(1 to 5,1 to 2) Grades(1,1)=“Jack” Grades(1,2)=“A” Grades(2,1)=“Nick” Grades(2,2)=“B” ‘ Now ReDim the array ReDim Grades(1 to 10,1 to 2) ‘previous values won’t be kept ReDim Preserve Grades(1 to 10,1 to 2) ‘preserve previous values Only the first dimension can be changed!

21. Upper & Lower Index Bounds of an Array Dim A(3): index from 0 to 3 Dim A(1 to 3): index from 1 to 3 Dim A(1 To 100, 0 To 3, -3 To 4) – UBound(A, 1) – will return “ 100 ” – UBound(A, 2) – will return “ 3 ” – UBound(A, 3) – will return “ 4 ” – LBound(A, 1) – will return “ 1 ” – LBound(A, 2) – will return “ 0 ” – LBound(A, 3) – will return “ -3 ”

22. VBA Control Structures - If If Grade >= 90 Then MsgBox "You got an A" ElseIf Grade >= 80 Then MsgBox "You got a B" ElseIf Grade >= 70 Then MsgBox "You got a C" Else MsgBox "You are out of scope” End If Need to capture the rest of cases

23. VBA Control Structures – Select Select Case Grade Case Is >= 90 MsgBox "You got an A Case Is >= 80 MsgBox "You got an B” Case Is >= 70 MsgBox "You got a C” Case Else MsgBox "You out of scope” End Select Need to capture the rest of cases

24. VBA Control Structures – Loops Sub factorial1() Dim N N = 10 Cells(1, 1) = 1 For i = N To 1 Step -1 Cells(1, 1) = Cells(1, 1) * i Next End Sub Sub factorial3() Dim N N = 10 i = N Cells(1, 3) = 1 Do Cells(1, 3) = Cells(1, 3) * i i = i - 1 Loop While i >= 1 End Sub Sub factorial2() Dim N N = 10 i = N Cells(1, 2) = 1 Do While i >= 1 Cells(1, 2) = Cells(1, 2) * i i = i - 1 Loop End Sub N! Loop at least once

25. Loops for Collection Objects Sub WorkSheetsLoop() Dim mySheet As Worksheet For Each mySheet In Worksheets MsgBox mySheet.Name Next mySheet End Sub

26. Nested Loops Example Sub NestedLoopExample() For i = 1 To 5 For j = 1 To 5 Cells(i, j) = "Row " & i & " Col " & j Next j Next i End Sub

27. Worksheet functions Sub FuncExample() Range("D6") = Application. WorksheetFunction. Sum(Range("D1:D5")) ‘ Can also use Application. Sum for short End Sub ‘ Another way to get the sum Range("D6").Formula = "=SUM(D1:D5)"

28. Other Issues in VBA programming What if need to pass an array of arguments without knowing the number of arguments

30. Private Sub cmdGenerate_Click() Range("B2:E13").Formula = "=RAND()*100" End Sub Private Sub cmdPlot_Click() Create_Chart_Sheet End Sub Sub Create_Chart_Sheet() Charts.Add With ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet4").Range("B1:E13") End With End Sub
