Introduction
Completing this book is one of the hardest things that I have
ever done. It took me almost two years to get it into the form
you are reading.
Most of the examples of this book are taken from our training
sessions or from our in-house development series.
More than anything else, I have tried to design this book for a
programmer struggling with a new and complex
programming. I have poured my best efforts into these pages.
I trust you would find this book useful.

What is a macro?
A macro is a set of code that runs in Office Application and
help us to automate tasks that we frequently use in corporate
world.
Let's assume I should prepare a report in Excel and as for this
I need to use content of many worksheets. In making a report,
I generally use the following steps which are:
-Open Workbook
-Open desired worksheet
-Make selection of the data
-Use Auto Filter and other relevant task
-Copy the desired data after sorting and filtering
-Now Open another workbook / worksheet to paste selected
data for making dashboard
I use all the steps above for so many times to prepare reports
on daily basis data. As you noticed, the steps above is more
likely consuming amount of time and therefore, I use macro
to automate the same task in a single click.
While you are writing the code, you should have a clear idea
of what it does and how it works otherwise your macro may
stuck and your entire work may interrupt. Hence, VBA Macro
is the best solution for the steps above.
So in short, a macro is a recording or capturing of your task
step by step you takes in Excel that you can follow by using a
single button..

What is VBA?
You recently aware with macros. So now let‟s get to know
more with another term called "VBA- Visual Basic for
Applications".
VBA is a programming language, developed by Microsoft.
Before you think about the programming language, it is
essential to know that programming languages are used to
communicate with your computer and not to human.
Therefore, VBA is a tool to communicate and passes your
instructions to Excel.
However, macro is not a programming language. As
explained by John Walkenbach (one of the most popular
author)
"A macro is a sequence of instructions that automates some
aspect of Excel."
Tools
Before you are going to write your first VBA code, you need
to check whether the VBA Editor is installed on your
computer. By pressing ALT+F11 is a quick way to test on
either your Visual Basic has been installed or not. If the VBA
editing window opens you are ok, otherwise you need to
install VBA Editor first.

Macro Security Level
Security is a major key when working with Excel macros. If
you open workbooks containing macros from outside sources,
these files may be harmful to your computer. Excel tool
protects you from running those macros. For the better
performance and avoid security risks you should save your
macro file with .xlsm extension.
There are some macros security level as follow-
Disable all macros without notification: Its allow macros
that are stored in a trusted location. You may manage your
trusted locations from the excel preferences.
Disable all macros with notification: This is default Macro
configuration which displays an alert or warning when a
workbook containing macro code is being open.
Disable all macros except digitally signed macros: By
selecting this option you are allowed to run only those macro
files, digitally signed.
Enable all macros: Allows macros to run without any
interruption or notification. If you are writing your own
macro / VBA code then this could be the recommended
setting for enabling us to run macro files.
