Why program Excel? For solving complex calculations and presenting
results, Excel is amazingly complete with every imaginable feature
already in place. But programming Excel isn't about adding new
features as much as it's about combining existing features to solve
particular problems. With a few modifications, you can transform
Excel into a task-specific piece of software that will quickly and
precisely serve your needs. In other words, Excel is an ideal
platform for probably millions of small spreadsheet-based software
solutions.
The best part is, you can program Excel with no additional
tools. A variant of the Visual Basic programming language, VB for
Applications (VBA) is built into Excel to facilitate its use as a
platform. With VBA, you can create macros and templates, manipulate
user interface features such as menus and toolbars, and work with
custom user forms or dialog boxes. VBA is relatively easy to use,
but if you've never programmed before, "Programming Excel with VBA
and .NET" is a great way to learn a lot very quickly. If you're an
experienced Excel user or a Visual Basic programmer, you'll pick up
a lot of valuable new tricks. Developers looking forward to .NET
development will also find discussion of how the Excel object model
works with .NET tools, including Visual Studio Tools for Office
(VSTO).
This book teaches you how to use Excel VBA by explaining
concepts clearly and concisely in plain English, and provides
plenty of downloadable samples so you can learn by doing. You'll be
exposed to a wide range of tasks most commonly performed with
Excel, arranged into chapters according to subject, with those
subjects corresponding to one or more Excel objects. Withboth the
samples and important reference information for each object
included right in the chapters, instead of tucked away in separate
sections, "Programming Excel with VBA and .NET" covers the entire
Excel object library. For those just starting out, it also lays
down the basic rules common to all programming languages.
With this single-source reference and how-to guide, you'll
learn to use the complete range of Excel programming tasks to solve
problems, no matter what you're experience level.
