Yes vba written in excel 2003 is usually compatible with excel 2007 but you can never be 100% sure without testing on both platforms. There are however backwards compatability issues namely around activex controls which do not work too well in 2003 but this can be overcome by saving the file in 2003 format
A VBA is Visual Basic for Applications, a programming language made by Microsoft. VBA language is part of the Microsoft Excel program, so when one is creating with Excel, they are creating VBA. You can make lists or graph, invoices, forecasts and reports with Excel.
In versions earlier than 2007 you can only have 3 conditions in one cell. You'll have to use VBA to go beyond those three.
I would say that there is no differences between Excel VBA and Access VBA. VBA is the acronym for visual basic for application and is the common language for the office suite. Excel vba gives you a native access to excel object (eg a worksheet, a cell, a range, etc.) but object of other applications can be made accessible via configuration (references). Access vba gives you a native access to access object.
First a person will need the right software to get started with VBA in microsoft excel. Then a person needs to know the different types of languages of VBA just to start out.
Mainly your Expertise in vba can be describes as follows: Knowledge of excel formulae Worked with pivot and charts Connectivity of excel with databases Creating desktop applications using vba macros
Microsoft Excel has an option to program the repitative task.
Excel has a variation of Visual BASIC built into it, called Visual BASIC for Applications, commonly called VBA. The advantage of using VBA is that it greatly enhances what you can do with Excel. It gives you greater power to do things with Excel that are difficult or impossible with Excel formulas. It can help automate tasks by creating simple macros. It brings the powers of programming to Excel.The main disadvantage is the complexity of VBA if you are not familiar with it. It takes time to learn how to use it, and even then it can be complicated to get it to do what you want. If you have knowledge of Visual BASIC that will help, but there are aspects of VBA that are especially for working with Excel. There is the danger to ruining your data if you do something wrong with VBA.
Excel 2003: .xls = Workbook .xla = VBA Add-in .xlb = Toolbar (where custom toolbar settings are stored) .xlc = Chart .xld = Dialog (from older versions of Excel) .xlk = Archive (Excel spreadsheet backup) .xll = DLL Add-in .xlm = Macro .xlt = Template .xlv = VBA Module .xlw = Workspace (collection of multiple Workbooks) Excel 2007 and Excel 2010: .xlsx = Workbook (XML format) .xlsm = Macro-enabled Workbook .xlsb = Excel Binary Workbook (instead of XML format) .xltm = Macro-enabled Template .xlam = Add-in (XML format)
prefix the excel function with application. eg. a=application.evaluate("1+2+3")
VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications. Visual Basic is a computer programming language. Using VBA you can write commands (a macro) which execute when run. This can be very useful (particularly if you want to automate repetitive, frequent and time consuming tasks in Excel for example).
