Vba Excel Upgrade Their Work

Though at first sight the VBA editing window is less straightforward than the standard worksheet Excel user-interface, in comparison it offers a nearly unlimited level of flexibility and much greater calculation power.

As it is a version of Visual Basic specific for Excel there are many pre-defined parts and pieces available for quick and easy programming.

As long as you are reasonably familiar with Excel then it should be easy to follow the instructions of the tutorial to move around Excel.

In case you do not know Excel at all, it is probably better to first explore the already extensive possibilities that Excel offers without the use of VBA.

Vba Excel Upgrade Their Work

This tutorial is especially aimed at those with good knowledge of Excel who can substantially upgrade their work with only a bit of VBA knowledge.

If you cannot complete those steps in your Windows version then you probably.

For Windows Excel 2007 you can do that in the Office installation, which you reach (on Windows itself, not in Excel) via.

The only difference between the Windows versions is the user interface.

I actually know a number of Mac users that run Windows versions of Office in a virtual machine on their Mac.

On the Mac, its 96 dpi, where each dot represents a pixel.

In Windows, screen resolution is 72 dpi (dots per inch) and each dot represents a point, while pixels are still 96 per inch.

Confusing the issue is that VBA in Windows uses points as the measurement unit for designing UserForms, while VBA on the Mac uses pixels.

The result is that without applying any correction, UserForms that come out just right in Windows are only 75 as large on the Mac, making them difficult to read.

The text might seem a bit small to me now that my eyes are getting older, but its still perfectly legible.

The dialogs for each were appropriately sized, and I took care of other coding idiosyncrasies in the separate files.

But its a lot of extra work to lug around two separate versions of every file.

Every adjustment you make has to be made twice, and its hard to remember what changes youve made across large projects.

I do make sure when I design the form that controls are more than large enough in case the text takes up extra space.

The dialogs are equally legible, and the text came out pretty much the same.

Sometimes a large block of text may not wrap the same, so if it really matters, you should hard code your line breaks by typing CtrlReturn while entering the text.

You have to build them into your file in Windows and them move the file to the Mac.

When using a Mac, the constant Mac is True, so the code between If and End If is compiled and run, so the UserForm is resized.

In Windows, this code is ignored, and the UserForm is displayed without rescaling.

Occasionally text wraps differently or certain other controls may need adjustments.

But this eliminates the need for separate UserForms for Mac and Windows.

Now if we could get a Mac equivalent of MSXM DLL so I can query the Global Address Book.

But once you closed the DesignerWindow there is not Option to open it again.

If my project already has a UserForm, I can see it listed in the Project Explorer, and I can view the code module, but I cannot access the designer window.

Perhaps its partially done, and accidentally they activated it for a short time, then pulled it back.

The vast majority of my clients use PCs (99), and most of my software customers also use PCs (80-90).

Therefore. it makes sense for me to concentrate on Windows.

The user experience for Microsoft Office is better in Windows than on Mac; more reliable and also more features.
