Dear Sir / Madam,

Could you tell me what is Excel VBA?

I have borrow a book in library on few days ago. Which is written in Traditional Chinese, because it is written by a Taiwanese. It comes together with a CD but the version on the examples are really different to my Excel. Honestly, I have read the book for the whole afternoon, but I have no idea what it is about? :(

Cheers,

VBA is a programming language that may be used to build more functionality into many of the MS Office suite of programs. Excel VBA is sometimes slightly different from say, Word VBA, because it is working towards a Workbook/Worksheet object rather than a Document object.

turbomen,

Welcome to the VBA Express forum.

VBA is an acronym for Visual Basic for Applications. VBA should not be confused with VB, which is standard Visual Basic. Visual Basic for Applications is a programming feature designed by Microsoft for use with their Microsoft Officehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png (http://www.ehow.com/about_5079737_vba.html#) software package. Specifically, it was designed for primary usage with Excel. VBA is a tool that can be used to create programs to be run in Excel.
