What is the difference between VB and VBA?

RE: VB and VBA

Hi Chris

Visual Basic (VB) is considered a full compilable programming language.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) has the same abilities normal Visual Basic except that VBA programs can not be compiled into Executable or DLL files.

VBA also doesn't run in its own memory space as a normal Visual Basic executables would.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

Checking if a calculation adheres to Order of Precedence

When writing formulas you must make sure that results will be calculated as you intended.

Excel adheres to the standard order of precedence for calculations. It calculates percentages, exponents, multiplication, and division in this order before calculating addition and subtraction.

For example, =7+5*3 results in an answer of 22, not 36.

To force a calculation to be completed before another calculations, place the section in parentheses: =(7+5)*3 will result in 36.

To check how excel is evaluating a formula, click on the cell and select the 'Tools' menu, select 'Formula Auditing' and click 'Evaluate Formula'

In the dialog box click on 'Evaluate' to watch as each part of the formula is successively calculated.
