Vba tool

I would like to show you how you can use the VBA Multithreading Tool to run a loop in separate parallel threads. This procedure simply divides two numbers in a loop.

Each iteration is independent of the other and there is no order in which we need to calculate each iteration. Notice the arguments of this procedure, as they will be required for multithreading later on.

Easy right? Each thread is in fact a copy of the Master Excel Workbook therefore all VBA function or procedures which you will be multithreading will have access to exactly the same data as the Master Excel Workbook. This is because it runs in a single thread. By leveraging the VBA Multithreading Tool we can however asynchronously call functions and procedures to run them in the background while we proceed with the execution of other macro code. Before you can get stuck in with using the code in this post, you must first have Excel set up correctly.

This involves:. Macros can be used for malicious purposes, such as installing a virus, recording key-strokes, etc. This can be blocked with the security settings. However, if the settings are set too high, you cannot run any macros, or too low, you will not be protected. Neither of these is a good option. Workbooks containing macros will now be automatically disabled until you click the Enable Content button at the top of the screen.

The Developer ribbon is the place where all the VBA tools are kept. It is unlikely that this is already enabled, unless you or your IT department have already done so.

You can skip straight ahead to the next part. To save a workbook containing a macro, the standard. Generally, the. The legacy. They were superseded in , and should now be avoided. If we want macros to be reusable for many workbooks, often the best place to save them is in the personal macro workbook.

A personal macro workbook does not exist by default; we have to create it. There are many ways to do this, but the easiest is to let Excel do it for us. In the next part, we will learn how to use the Visual Basic Editor, which gives us access to the personal macro workbook. The Visual Basic Editor contains four main sections. Double-clicking any sheet name, workbook or module, will open the code window associated with that item.

VBA code is entered into the code window. Unless you have specific reasons, the best option is to enter the macro into a module. There are many ways to run VBA code.

This section is not exhaustive, but is intended to provide an overview of the most common methods. Click anywhere within the code, between the Sub and End Sub lines, choose one of the following options:. Use to display a list of items from which the user can choose. The list can be scrolled if it has more items than can be displayed at one time. Creates a box that the user can easily choose to indicate if something is true or false, or to display multiple choices when the user can choose more than one.

Allows you to display multiple choices from which the user can choose only one. Allows you to create a graphical or functional grouping for controls. To group controls, draw the frame first, and then draw controls inside the frame. Allows you to define multiple pages for the same area of a window or dialog box in your application.

Provides a graphical tool for quickly navigating through a long list of items or a large amount of information, for indicating the current position on a scale, or as an input device or indicator of speed or quantity. AutoMacro also contains hundreds of built-in VBA code fragments, procedures and functions , organized in easily accessible menus directly in the VBE.
