Examples provided about VBA usage should be specific to Excel and focus on topics like creating and interacting with worksheet objects, using the WorksheetFunction class and methods, and the xlDirection enumeration for navigating ranges.

Chapter 1: Getting started with Excel

VBA
Microsoft Excel includes a comprehensive macro programming language called VBA. This programming
language
provides you with at least three additional resources:
1. Automatically drive Excel from code using Macros. For the most part, anything that the user can do by
manipulating Excel from the user interface can be done by writing code in Excel VBA.
2. Create new, custom worksheet functions.
3. Interact Excel with other applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Internet Explorer, Notepad,
etc.
VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications. It is a custom version of the venerable Visual Basic
programming
language that has powered Microsoft Excel's macros since the mid-1990s.
