Excel VBA for Beginners. August 20, 2013. If you've done a lot of work in Excel, you've probably heard about Macros or VBA. Excel VBA can help you do your work much, much faster. It can also help you expand the true power of Excel in ways you never thought possible.
If you're an Excel beginner, this is the perfect place to start.
Microsoft Excel is one of the most used software applications of all time. Hundreds of millions of people around the world use Microsoft Excel. You can use Excel to enter all sorts of data and perform financial, mathematical or statistical calculations.
1 Range: A range in Excel is a collection of two or more cells. This chapter gives an overview of some very important range operations.
2 Formulas and Functions: A formula is an expression which calculates the value of a cell. Functions are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel.
Horiuchi started to use Excel to create art after he saw other people using the program at work, he told PC Online. To see more of Horiuchi's work, visit his website here. With more than 1,000 Excel, XLS, and XLS+s in the active worldwide fleet, it made sense to select the popular midsize airframe for the program developed by CitationPartners, whose other principals.
If you have a long list with thousands ofentries, wherein searching is no piece of pie, Excel can help.
Yes! It has some very special functions called VLOOKUP & data validation, which can do these tasks in a wink:
- Automatically fetch any item.
- Automatically find the valuecorresponding to the product.
- The corresponding value to theitems will be automatically updated when you change the item name.
Sound interesting!
Apply Vlookup:
Let's start with the process of creatingbilling software. Before that, you must know these attributes of VLOOKUP:
VlookupAttributes:
VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array,col_index_num, approximate/exact match)
- Lookup_value: It can be any empty cell or the column where you want to look up for the items, as given in this table:
- Table_array: It defines the range of the table where you want to search the value from, as given in the dotted selection.
- Col_index_num: It is very important column sequence, where the value corresponding to the lookup value is given. In short, it is where the value that you look for exists.
- Approximate/Exact match: This is optional, which lets the match occur exactly or appropriately.
RemoveErrors: Focus on these points to remove errors inVLOOKUP: Compact powder foundation.
- Select the 'Table Array' wherethe values begin from. The formula will take the range of the selected cells asA2:C6.
- Don't select the column number as a value for Col_index_num. Rather, count the sequence of the column, such as 2, 3, 4 or 5, where the answer/value lies.

Howto create simple billing software with vlookup?
- Create a bill in Excel with specific headers or labels like this. I have named it 'Stationery Invoice':

Who Made Excel Programming
1ItemsRateQuantity2Pen$5,000=vlookup()3Pencil$20,0004Copy$15,0005Sheets$10,0006Crayons$2,500- To get the ‘Quantity' of ‘Sheets' in the empty cell, I'll press Ctrl+A to complete the formula. It will pop a Function Arguments box, where you would select the cell where pen is written.
- To provide value to 'Table Array', click on the red arrow at the extreme right of its field. Then, move to the 'Stationery Invoice' where you have the table with quantity. Select it. This attribute will automatically fetch the range subsequently, as given in this picture:
- Now, you need to provide value to the Col_index_num attribute. Count the sequence of column in the table 'Stationery Invoice'. As quantity is given in column 3, input it in that field.
- Finally, fill up therange_lookup value as 0 because you want the exact value to be put there. Then,press ok.
The vlookup formula willfetch the value that you want to put adjacent to the item name, as shown here.
ItemsRateQuantity Pen$5,000500Pencil$20,000Copy$15,000Sheets$10,000Crayons$2,500Thereafter, you can drag the formulato other cells for automatically applying it.

The billing software is notyet completed. It needs a proper validation in place so that you need not typethe name of the products or item names.
Here are a few smart stepsto generate an item list automatically.
- Label the column as mentioned in this invoice format:
- Select any cell below the label‘Stationery'.
- Go to the ‘Data menu' andselect ‘Data Validation'. A pop up will appear.
- Select ‘list' from the dropdown list of ‘Validation Criteria'.
- The validation will be completeupon providing the source of those stationery items. Go to the table where youhave the list. Select that column to automatically fetch the item names.
The billing software will look like this:
The dropdown button will create the list to ensure selection of the item. This is how you can create a list in your bill. Thereafter, apply vlookup formula to bring the values in the Quantity and Rate columns.
Compute Amount
How to calculate amount?
Calculating amount is like a walkover onceyou are done with the vlookup and data validation. Just apply the formula, as=5000*500. The amount column will get its value. Then, you just drag theformula to the cells given below.
Finally, you can add another formula, i.e. sum, as I have shown here. Just enter and get the sum automatically.
These aforesaid steps can assist you to create some more billing software with different products or services name and values, as many outsourcing data entry organisations execute. Even, you can try some bulky data to apply vlookup on that and some more Excel formulae to automate calculations.
