How To Insert And Run Vba Code In Excel

Adding and executing VBA code in Excel involves the following steps:

1. Open Excel and navigate to the worksheet where you want to insert the VBA code.
2. Press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
3. In the VBA editor, click on Insert and then choose Module to insert a new module.
4. Within the module, you can start writing your VBA code using the VBA programming language.
5. Once you have written the VBA code, you can save the workbook to retain the code within it.
6. To execute the VBA code, go back to Excel and press Alt + F8 to open the Macros dialog box.
7. Select the desired macro (which represents your VBA code) from the list and click on Run.
8. The VBA code will then execute and perform the actions specified within it.

Here’s an example of a simple VBA code that adds two numbers and displays the result in a message box:

Sub AddNumbers()
    Dim num1 As Integer
    Dim num2 As Integer
    Dim sum As Integer

    num1 = 2
    num2 = 3

    sum = num1 + num2

    MsgBox "The sum of " & num1 & " and " & num2 & " is " & sum
End Sub
  

After inserting the above code in a new module, you can execute it as mentioned earlier to see the message box displaying the sum of the numbers.
