How to Export VBA Code from Excel
Exporting VBA code from Excel allows you to save your Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros or functions into a separate file for backup or sharing purposes. Here’s how you can do it.
- Open your Excel workbook and press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
- In the Project Explorer window, locate and select the module or worksheet that contains the VBA code you want to export.
- Right-click on the selected module or worksheet and choose Export File.
- Choose a location to save the exported file and specify a name for it.
- Click Save to export the VBA code as a separate file.
That’s it! You have successfully exported your VBA code from Excel. You can now share or store the exported file separately.
Here’s an example to help you understand the step-by-step process better:
Step 1: Press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
Step 2: In the Project Explorer window, select the module named “Module1” that contains the VBA code you want to export.
Step 3: Right-click on “Module1” and choose Export File.
Step 4: Choose a location to save the exported file, for example, “C:\ExportedVBA”.
Step 5: Specify a name for the exported file, for example, “MyVBAExport.bas”.
Step 6: Click Save to export the VBA code as a separate file, “C:\ExportedVBA\MyVBAExport.bas”.
Following these steps will allow you to export VBA code from Excel easily and efficiently. Keep in mind that the exported file will contain the VBA code only, without any associated workbook data.
