When typing Excel and VBA commands i. This however does not indicate if it will run correctly. A common mistake also encountered when correcting code is that you want to press Enter when done. Just click off the line when you are done editing. When typing your computer code, most of your code is typed within a procedure's boundaries.
These statements are typed at the very top of a module in the declaration section before any procedures are typed and only if they are needed. Sub, Function, and Property procedures may all be typed in the same module, just make sure to name them uniquely.
A procedure itself is limited to 64K in size, which means how much text is typed within its boundaries. It is a very large amount of code and you will not bump up against it when first starting out. A common misperception is that VBA code must be stored in the same workbook as it is commanding.
Actually your modules containing your VBA code can be stored in any desired workbook. The author generally stores them in a project workbook that a user clicks buttons in to run their procedures. VBA code can search through Excel for the workbooks it needs or open them as needed, command them, then make new workbooks to store reports, charts, tables Keeping code in a single project workbook that is not attached to your data, charts, reports and so forth prevents you from making copies of your VBA code thus making version control impossible.
A note here, when creating models in workbooks, you would have one model workbook that could be upgraded as needed and issued and you would upload and download the model parameters to the model using VBA storing them separately in workbooks and text files.
This strategy is great for batch processing and trade studies. How VBA commands Excel is through object expressions i. Command commonly referred to as "paths". If you do not assume things are active in your VBA code and create the proper object expressions to track the Excel elements your are commanding, the code may be housed anywhere as discussed above.
Relying on things being active is what causes most Excel VBA code to run slow and work intermittently. While using the Macro Recorder is a very good research tool for figuring out specific Excel commands and their syntax, it writes horrible code. Learn to track objects in your code using object expressions that do not rely on anything being active and your code will be very robust in execution.
You are tracking the sheet and that code will never fail because the sheet becomes inactive because you open another workbook later in the code. Also making Excel's elements active with VBA code so you can command them like with the way the Macro Recorder records is ultimately self defeating because it requires a lot of code, makes the code slow, is error ridden, and darn near impossible to track multiple Excel elements at once.
Additional VBA Topics:. If that workbook is not open, you get a NAME? If you reference the function in a different workbook, you must precede the function name with the name of the workbook in which the function resides. You can save yourself some keystrokes and possible typing errors by selecting your custom functions from the Insert Function dialog box. Your custom functions appear in the User Defined category:.
An easier way to make your custom functions available at all times is to store them in a separate workbook and then save that workbook as an add-in.
You can then make the add-in available whenever you run Excel. Save the workbook under a recognizable name, such as MyFunctions , in the AddIns folder.
The Save As dialog box will propose that folder, so all you need to do is accept the default location. In the Excel Options dialog box, click the Add-Ins category. In the Manage drop-down list, select Excel Add-Ins. Then click the Go button. In the Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box beside the name you used to save your workbook, as shown below.
Save the workbook under a recognizable name, such as MyFunctions. After you follow these steps, your custom functions will be available each time you run Excel. If you want to add to your function library, return to the Visual Basic Editor. Your add-in will have the extension. Double-clicking that module in the Project Explorer causes the Visual Basic Editor to display your function code.
To add a new function, position your insertion point after the End Function statement that terminates the last function in the Code window, and begin typing. You can create as many functions as you need in this manner, and they will always be available in the User Defined category in the Insert Function dialog box.
It has since been updated to apply to newer versions of Excel as well. You can always ask an expert in the Excel Tech Community or get support in the Answers community. Copy and paste the following code to the new module. Your custom functions appear in the User Defined category: An easier way to make your custom functions available at all times is to store them in a separate workbook and then save that workbook as an add-in.

Now everything works. This worked better than the IT guy — 4 hour of messing with the computer with no result, 20 minutes of my time and works.
I followed you instructions and it worked like a charm. Dude, you rock! Man, I could be a computer geek with what I learn online!!! Today, I searched in google for an answer ,it worked. Error get resolved. Works great now. Spent a lot of time checking out the Microshit Site and found nothing.
