VBA RegEx: How to Evaluate and Use "Regular Expressions" VBA or Visual Basic for Applications is a powerful programming tool in Microsoft Excel.

VBA RegEx: How to Evaluate and Use "Regular Expressions"

Regular Expression class enables VBA programs to perform regular expression searches. The latter are text patterns that can help search for strings including email addresses, phone numbers and others with specific and defined criteria. In this intermediate level tutorial, we walk you through VBA RegEx. We assume that you have basic knowledge of VBA in Excel. If not we recommend that you go through our basic course on Excel VBA before proceeding further. What is VBA Regex (Regular Expression)? A “regular expression” is an equation used to match a pattern. Quantifiers Quantifiers are needed to match several characters. Special Characters.

Microsoft Excel VBA - Lesson 02: Introduction to VBA Code. Microsoft Visual Basic is a programming environment that gets automatically installed when you setup Microsoft Excel.

Microsoft Excel VBA - Lesson 02: Introduction to VBA Code

It stays apart because most people would not need or use it. This means that, if you want to use the Microsoft Visual Basic programming environment that ships with Microsoft Excel, you must ask for it, which can be easily done. In our lessons, we will learn how to use both Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Visual Basic to create and manage spreadsheets.

The Microsoft Visual Basic programming environment we will use depends on Microsoft Excel. As a result, to use Microsoft Visual Basic, you must first open Microsoft Excel. Before using code, you should add a new tab, the Developer tab, to the Ribbon. From the Developer tab of the Ribbon, to launch Microsoft Visual Basic, you can click the Visual Basic button. When it opens, like any regular Windows application, Microsoft Visual Basic displays a title bar in the top section. On the Ribbon, you can click View. February 2012. By Kevin Roper As the proud owner of several large VBA macros, I have spent a considerable amount of time looking for ways to make macros run faster.

This article lists my top rules for speeding up VBA. It is easy to lapse into bad programming habits when working with small macros, but with large macros and macros that run a long time it is critical to use efficient coding. This article is primarily focused on Excel VBA macros, however many of these rules apply to Microsoft Access VBA macros as well. The first five rules generally have the largest impact on macro performance. Rule #1. This rule is well known, but it is the most important rule. Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual.

VBA Classes. Property Procedures - Passing Information to and from Forms. A userform is a convenient, professional-looking interface between a VBA procedure and the user.

Property Procedures - Passing Information to and from Forms

However, you might have trouble moving information from the VBA procedure to the form, or retrieving information when the user has finished with the form. You may have used global variables or saved data on an empty worksheet, but this is not always a safe approach. For example, if you replace a form's combobox with option buttons, the VBA procedure will break, because it is looking for a combobox that's been deleted. The "official" way to pass information between a form and a procedure is to create properties for the form using property procedures. Property procedures are handy because they can: set the values of variables, change objects on the form, and perform other actions whenever a property is accessed.

Properties also allow more complete encapsulation of the form; the main procedure doesn't care what technique is used in the form, all it needs is the name of the property. VBA. Debugging VBA. Once you're written your VBA procedures and achieved clean compiles without errors, you are ready to undertake the most important step in programming: testing and debugging.

Debugging VBA

Too many programmers become complacent once the code is written and they get a clean compile. These are only the first steps. The most important steps, and the ones programmers like the least, are debugging and testing code. This page describes the various debugging resources available in the VBA Editor (VBE) and how to use them. These are basic descriptions of the various diagnostic tools and how to use them. Immediate Window The Immediate Window is a window in the VBE in which you can enter commands and view and change the contents of variables while you code is in Break mode or when no macro code is executing. In the Immediate Window, you can display the value of a variable by using the ? ? Application.EnableEvents=True or Range("A1").Value = 1234 For N= LBound(Arr) To UBound(Arr): Debug.Print Arr(N) : Next N.
