At the very least, knowing VBA will make it easier for you to analyze relatively complex problems for yourself included calculating, formatting, collecting, managing and etc. VBA is relatively easy to learn, the most easy way is by recording. After recording you must be able to read and understand the code behind each process recorded. Now set our focus on Excel application because of usefulness and easily understand due to more object contain for examples Workbook, Worksheet, and Range. The property of ranges and cell references, formulas, built-in functions, and charts in excel make our VBA work well because we can include mathematical ways to let our program running through out column by column, row by row, sheet by sheet included workbook.
