Background

AdventureWorks wanted its salesmen in each territory to be able to fill in the special offer plan which they want to execute in their territory. But most of the salesmen travel a lot and they cannot access the site on-time. Then an offline solution is needed and using Excel template is the best solution. First of all, it’s cheaper because no additional software/hardware is needed. Secondly, all the salesmen are experts in Excel and the training will be much easier.

The AdventureWorks database could be downloaded from the Microsoft download center.

Using the Code

Step 1: Create the Excel Template Based on Requirement

  1. Clarify the requirement
  2. Create a hidden template sheet
    • Clarify the data type in each cell, fill in type (user input/list validation or a pop form) and the lock property
  3. Create a hidden data source sheet
    • Clarify the source data in each column
    • Create a named range for list validation (if the data is already known)
  4. Create Summary, Filling Sheet
    • Set the layout, add validation button and add new button
  5. VBA programming to add list validation or auto-fill is as follows:

  6. VBA programming to select data in pop form is as follows:

    In frmChoose, when the Ok button is clicked:

  7. VBA programming to validate the data filled in every sheet is as follows:

Step 2: Generate an Excel Template to Fill with Source Data in C#

  1. Create an Excel application object:
  2. Open the template and SaveCopyAs a new temporary template file name:
  3. Close the template and open the new temporary file:
  4. Get master data from the database and fill in each cell and set validation lock property properly based on requirement:
  5. Protected worksheets and workbook based on requirement:
  6. Save the temporary file as the final template name:
  7. Close the template and release the Excel resource:

Step 3: Download the Template from the Web Site

Step 4: Fill in the Template and Verify the Data

  1. User fills in the data according to the description: list validation, free typing in, popup form etc.
  2. Click the validation button in the sheet and validate the data

Step 5: Upload the Template to the Web Site

Please refer to the sample to upload a file to the website.

Step 6: Import the Data in Excel to the Database

  1. Create an Excel app object and open the uploaded file:
  2. Save the upload file as a temporary file. Then close the uploaded file and open the temporary file as follows:
  3. Verify the data in the template again in the web application:
  4. Read the data in the worksheet:

You can automate small as well as heavy tasks with VBA codes.

...you can break all the limitations of Excel which you think Excel has.

And today, I have listed some of the useful codes examples to help you become more productive in your day to day work.

You can use these codes even if you haven't used VBA before that.

But here's the first thing to know:

In Excel, macro code is a programming code which is written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) language.

The idea behind using a macro code is to automate an action which you perform manually in Excel, otherwise.

For example, you can use a code to print only a particular range of cells just with a single click instead of selecting the range -> File Tab -> Print -> Print Select -> OK Button.

Before you use these codes, make sure you have your developer tab on your Excel ribbon to access VB editor.

Once you activate developer tab...

...you can use below steps to paste a VBA code into VB editor.

  • Go to your developer tab and click on 'Visual Basic'.
  • On the left side in 'Project Window', right click on the name of your workbook and insert a new module.
  • Just paste your code into the module and close it.
  • Now, go to your developer tab and click on the macro button.
  • It will show you a window with a list of the macros you have in your file from where you can run a macro from that list.

...a list of top 100 macro codes for VBA beginners

I’ve added all the codes into specific categories so you can find your favorite codes quickly. Just read the title and click on it to get the code.

Important: This is my Ultimate VBA Library which I update on monthly basis with new codes. It would be great if you bookmark this page and keep on visiting t o new codes every time and make sure to read about Personal Macro Workbook to use these codes in all the workbooks.

These VBA codes will help you to perform some basic tasks in a flash which you frequently do in your spreadsheets.

This macro code will help you to automatically add serial numbers in your Excel sheet.

Once you run this macro it will show you an input box where you need to enter max number for the serial numbers and after that, it will insert numbers in the column in a sequence.

Sub AddSerialNumbers()
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox('Enter Value', 'Enter Serial Numbers')
For i = 1 To i
ActiveCell.Value = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Next i
Last:Exit Sub
End Sub

Once you run this macro it will show an input box and you need to enter the number of columns you want to insert.

Sub InsertMultipleColumns()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As IntegerActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox('Enter number of columns to insert', 'Insert Columns')
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAboveNext j
Last:Exit Sub
End Sub

Once you run this macro it will show an input box and you need to enter the number of rows you want to insert.

Sub InsertMultipleRows()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox('Enter number of columns to insert', 'InsertColumns')
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToDown,
CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last:Exit Sub
End Sub

Quickly auto fit all the columns in your worksheet.

This macro code will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the columns.

End Sub

You can use this code to auto-fit all the rows in a worksheet.

When you run this code it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the row.

Sub AutoFitRows()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
End Sub

This code will help you to remove text wrap from the entire worksheet with a single click. It will first select all the columns and then remove text wrap and auto fit all the rows and columns.

Sub RemoveWrapText()
Cells.Select
Selection.WrapText = False
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End Sub

Select your cells and run this code and it will un-merge all the cells from the selection with your loosing data.

In window there is a specific calculator and by using this macro code you can open that calculator directly from Excel use for your calculations.

Sub OpenCalculator()
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp Index:=0
End Sub

Use this code to add a date into the header or footer in your worksheet.

You can edit this code for switching from header to footer.

Sub dateInHeader()
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = '
.CenterHeader = '&D'
.RightHeader = '
.LeftFooter = '
.CenterFooter = '
.RightFooter = '
End With
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
End Sub

If you want to insert a custom header then this code is for you.

Run this code, enter custom value in the input box. To change the alignment of header or footer you can edit the code.

Sub customHeader()
Dim myText As Stringmy
Text = InputBox('Enter your text here', 'Enter Text')
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = '
.CenterHeader = myText
.RightHeader = '
.LeftFooter = '
.CenterFooter = '
.RightFooter = ' End Sub

These VBA codes will help you to format cells and ranges using some specific criteria and conditions.

This macro will check each cell of your selection and highlight the duplicate values.

You can also change the color from the code.

Sub HighlightDuplicateValues()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Set myRange = Selection
For Each myCell In myRange
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, myCell.Value) > 1 Then
myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next myCell
End Sub

I really love to use this macro code whenever I have to analyze a data table.

Here are the quick steps to apply this code.

  1. Open VBE (ALT + F11).
  2. Go to Project Explorer (Ctrl + R, If hidden).
  3. Select your workbook & double click on the name of a particular worksheet in which you want to activate the macro.
  4. Paste the code into it and select the “BeforeDoubleClick” from event drop down menu.
  5. Close VBE and you are done.

Remember that, by applying this macro you will not able to edit the cell by double click.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range,
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strRange As String
strRange = Target.Cells.Address & ',' Target.Cells.EntireColumn.Address & ',' & _
Target.Cells.EntireRow.Address
Range(strRange).Select
End Sub

Just select a range and run this macro and it will highlight top 10 values with the green color.

Sub TopTen()
Selection.FormatConditions.AddTop10
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.TopBottom = xlTop10Top
.Rank = 10
.Percent = False
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Color = -16752384
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 13561798
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub

If you are not sure about how many named ranges you have in your worksheet then you can use this code to highlight all of them.

Sub HighlightRanges()
Dim RangeName As Name
Dim HighlightRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each RangeName In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Set HighlightRange = RangeName.RefersToRange
HighlightRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
Next RangeName
End Sub

Once you run this code it will ask you for the value from which you want to highlight all greater values.

Sub HighlightGreaterThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox('Enter Greater Than Value', 'Enter Value')
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue,
Operator:=xlGreater, Formula1:=i
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.Interior.Color = RGB(31, 218, 154)
End With
End Sub

Once you run this code it will ask you for the value from which you want to highlight all lower values.

Sub HighlightLowerThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox('Enter Lower Than Value', 'Enter Value')
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue,
Operator:=xlLower, Formula1:=i
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.Interior.Color = RGB(217, 83, 79)
End With
End Sub

Select a range of cells and run this code. It will check each cell from the range and highlight all cells the where you have a negative number.

Sub highlightNegativeNumbers()
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Rng In Selection
If WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(Rng) Then
If Rng.Value < 0 Then
Rng.Font.Color= -16776961
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

Suppose you have a large data set and you want to check for a particular value. For this, you can use this code. When you run it, you will get an input box to enter the value to search for.

Sub highlightValue()
Dim myStr As String
Dim myRg As Range
Dim myTxt As String
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myChar As String
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
On Error Resume Next
If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count> 1 Then
myTxt= ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
Else
myTxt= ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
End If
LInput: Set myRg= Application.InputBox('please select the data
range:', 'Selection Required', myTxt, , , , , 8)
If myRg Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
If myRg.Areas.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox'not support multiple columns' GoToLInput
End If
If myRg.Columns.Count <> 2 Then
MsgBox'the selected range can only contain two columns '
GoTo LInput
End If
For I = 0 To myRg.Rows.Count-1
myStr= myRg.Range('B1').Offset(I, 0).Value
With myRg.Range('A1').Offset(I, 0)
.Font.ColorIndex= 1
For J = 1 To Len(.Text)
Mid(.Text, J, Len(myStr)) = myStrThen
.Characters(J, Len(myStr)).Font.ColorIndex= 3
Next
End With
Next I
End Sub

To highlight all the cells with comments use this macro.

Sub highlightCommentCells()
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments).Select
Selection.Style= 'Note'
End Sub

By highlighting alternate rows you can make your data easily readable. And for this, you can use below VBA code. It will simply highlight every alternate row in selected range.

Sub highlightAlternateRows()

For Each rng In Selection.Rows
If rng.RowMod 2 = 1 Then
rng.Style= '20% -Accent1'
rng.Value= rng^ (1 / 3)
Else
End If
Next rng
End Sub

If you find hard to check all the cells for spelling error then this code is for you. It will check each cell from the selection and highlight the cell where is a misspelled word.

End Sub

23. Highlight Cells with a Specific Text in Worksheet

This code will help you to count the cells which have a specific value which you will mention and after that highlight all those cells.

Sub highlightSpecificValues()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim c As Variant
c = InputBox('Enter Value To Highlight')
For Each rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If rng = c Then
rng.Style = 'Note'
i = i + 1
End If
Next rng
MsgBox 'There are total ' & i &' '& c & ' in this worksheet.'
End Sub

Sometimes there are some cells which are blank but they have a single space and due to this, it’s really hard to identify them. This code will check all the cell in the worksheet and highlight all the cells which have a single space.

Sub blankWithSpace()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If rng.Value = ' ' Then
rng.Style = 'Note'
End If
Next rng
End Sub

It will check all the selected cells and highlight the cell with the maximum value.

Sub highlightMaxValue()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Selection
If rng = WorksheetFunction.Max(Selection) Then
rng.Style = 'Good'
End If
Next rng
End Sub

It will check all the selected cells and highlight the cell with the Minimum value.

Sub highlightMinValue()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Selection
If rng = WorksheetFunction.Min(Selection) Then
rng.Style = 'Good'
End If
Next rng
End Sub

This codes will highlight all the cells from the selection which has a unique value.

Sub highlightUniqueValues()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Selection
rng.FormatConditions.Delete
Dim uv As UniqueValues
Set uv = rng.FormatConditions.AddUniqueValues
uv.DupeUnique = xlUnique
uv.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End Sub

Using this code you can highlight the difference between two columns (corresponding cells).

Sub columnDifference()
Range('H7:H8,I7:I8').Select
Selection.ColumnDifferences(ActiveCell).Select
Selection.Style= 'Bad'
End Sub

And by using this code you can highlight difference between two row (corresponding cells).

Sub rowDifference()
Range('H7:H8,I7:I8').Select
Selection.RowDifferences(ActiveCell).Select
Selection.Style= 'Bad'
End Sub

These macro codes will help you to automate some printing tasks which can further save you a ton of time.

Use this macro to activate settings to print cell comments in the end of the page. Let’s say you have 10 pages to print, after using this code you will get all the comments on 11th last page.

Sub printComments()
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.printComments= xlPrintSheetEnd
End With
End Sub

Use this VBA code to take a print with a narrow margin. When you run this macro it will automatically change margins to narrow.

.RightMargin= Application.InchesToPoints(0.25)
.TopMargin= Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
.BottomMargin= Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
.HeaderMargin= Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
.FooterMargin= Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
End With
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOutCopies:=1, Collate:=True,
IgnorePrintAreas:=False
End Sub

This code will help you print selected range. You don't need to go to printing options and set printing range. Just select a range and run this code.

Sub printSelection()
Selection.PrintOutCopies:=1, Collate:=True
End Sub

Instead of using the setting from print options you can use this code to print custom page range.

Let’s say you want to print pages from 5 to 10. You just need to run this VBA code and enter start page and end page.

Sub printCustomSelection()
Dim startpageAs Integer
Dim endpageAs Integer
startpage= InputBox('Please Enter Start Page number.', 'EnterValue')
If Not WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(startpage) Then
MsgBox'Invalid Start Page number. Please try again.', 'Error'
Exit Sub
End If
endpage= InputBox('Please Enter End Page number.', 'EnterValue')
If Not WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(endpage) Then
MsgBox'Invalid End Page number. Please try again.', 'Error'
Exit Sub
End If
Selection.PrintOutFrom:=startpage, To:=endpage, Copies:=1
Collate:=True
End Sub
