What is a Macro Code?

In Excel, macro code is a programming code which is written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) language. The idea behind using a macro code is to automate an action which you perform manually in Excel, otherwise.

For example, you can use a code to print only a particular range of cells just with a single click instead of selecting the range > File Tab > Print > Print Select > OK Button.

How to use a Macro Code in Excel?

Before you use these codes, make sure you have your developer tab on your Excel ribbon to access VB editor. Once you activate developer tab you can use below steps to paste a VBA code into VB editor.

  1. Go to your developer tab and click on "Visual Basic" to open the Visual Basic Editor.

(List) Top 100 Macro Examples (CODES) for VBA Beginners

  • This is my Ultimate VBA Library which I update on monthly basis with new codes and don't forget to check the VBA Examples Sectionꜜ at the end of this list.
  • VBA is one of the Advanced Excel Skills.
  • To manage all of these codes make sure to read about Personal Macro Workbook to use these codes in all the workbooks.
  • I have tested all of these codes in different versions of Excel (2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019). If you found any error in any of these codes, make sure to share with me.

Basic Codes

1. Add Serial Numbers

This macro code will help you to automatically add serial numbers in your Excel sheet which can be helpful for you if you work with large data.

Sub AddSerialNumbers()
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter Value", "Enter Serial Numbers")
For i = 1 To i
ActiveCell.Value = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Next i
Last:Exit Sub
End Sub

To use this code, you need to select the cell from where you want to start the serial numbers and when you run this it shows you a message box where you need to enter the highest number for the serial numbers and click OK.

And once you click OK, it simply runs a loop and add a list of serial numbers to the cells downward.

2. Insert Multiple Columns

This code helps you to enter multiple columns in a single click.

Sub InsertMultipleColumns()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter number of columns to insert", "Insert Columns")
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

When you run this code, it asks you the number columns you want to add and when you click OK, it adds entered number of columns after the selected cell. If you want to add columns before the selected cell, replace the xlToRight to xlToLeft in the code.

3. Insert Multiple Rows

With this code, you can enter multiple rows in the worksheet. When you run this code, you can enter the number of rows to insert and make sure to select the cell from where you want to insert the new rows.

Sub InsertMultipleRows()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter number of columns to insert", "Insert Columns")
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

If you want to add rows before the selected cell, replace the xlToDown to xlToUp in the code.

4. Auto Fit Columns

This code quickly auto fits all the columns in your worksheet.

Sub AutoFitColumns()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End Sub

When you run this code, it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the columns.

5. Auto Fit Rows

You can use this code to auto fit all the rows in a worksheet.

Sub AutoFitRows()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
End Sub

When you run this code, it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto fit all the rows.

6. Remove Text Wrap

This code will help you to remove text wrap from the entire worksheet with a single click.

Sub RemoveTextWrap()
Range("A1").WrapText = False
End Sub

It will first select all the columns and then remove text wrap and auto fit all the rows and columns. There’s also a shortcut that you can use (Alt + H +‌W) for but if you add this code to Quick Access Toolbar it’s convenient than a keyboard shortcut.

7. Unmerge Cells

This code simply uses the unmerge options which you have on the HOME‌ tab.

Sub UnmergeCells()
Selection.UnMerge
End Sub

The benefit of using this code is you can add it to the QAT and unmerge all the cell in the selection. And if you want to un-merge a specific range you can define that range in the code by replacing the word selection.

8. Open Calculator

In Windows, there is a specific calculator and by using this macro code you can open that calculator directly from Excel.

Sub OpenCalculator()
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp Index:=0
End Sub

As I mentioned that it’s for windows and if you run this code in the MAC version of VBA you’ll get an error.

9. Add Header/Footer Date

This macro adds a date to the header when you run it. It simply uses the tag "&D" for adding the date.

Sub DateInHeader()
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = "&D"
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = ""
End With
End Sub

You can also change it to the footer or change the side by replacing the "" with the date tag. And if you want to add a specific date instead of the current date you can replace the "&D" tag with that date from the code.

10. Custom Header/Footer

Sub CustomHeader()
Dim myText As String
myText = InputBox("Enter your text here", "Enter Text")
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = myText
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = ""
End With
End Sub

When you run this code, it shows an input box that asks you to enter the text which you want to add as a header, and once you enter it click OK.

If you see this closely you have six different lines of code to choose the place for the header or footer. Let’s say if you want to add left-footer instead of center header simply replace the “myText” to that line of the code by replacing the "" from there.

Formatting Codes

These VBA codes will help you to format cells and ranges using some specific criteria and conditions.

11. Highlight Duplicates from Selection

Sub HighlightDuplicateValues()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Set myRange = Selection
For Each myCell In myRange
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, myCell.Value) > 1 Then
myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next myCell
End Sub

This macro will check each cell of your selection and highlight the duplicate values.  You can also change the color from the code.

12. Highlight the Active Row and Column

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strRange As String
strRange = Target.Cells.Address & "," & _
Target.Cells.EntireColumn.Address & "," & _
Target.Cells.EntireRow.Address
Range(strRange).Select
End Sub

I really love to use this macro code whenever I have to analyze a data table. Here are the quick steps to apply this code.

  1. Open VBE (ALT + F11).
  2. Go to Project Explorer (Ctrl + R, If hidden).
  3. Select your workbook & double click on the name of a particular worksheet in which you want to activate the macro.
  4. Paste the code into it and select the “BeforeDoubleClick” from event drop down menu.
  5. Close VBE and you are done.

Remember that, by applying this macro you will not able to edit the cell by double click.

13. Highlight Top 10 Values

Sub TopTen()
Selection.FormatConditions.AddTop10
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.TopBottom = xlTop10Top
.Rank = 10
.Percent = False
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Color = -16752384
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 13561798
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub

Just select a range and run this macro and it will highlight top 10 values with the green color.

14. Highlight Named Ranges

Sub HighlightRanges()
Dim RangeName As Name
Dim HighlightRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each RangeName In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Set HighlightRange = RangeName.RefersToRange
HighlightRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
Next RangeName
End Sub

If you are not sure about how many named ranges you have in your worksheet then you can use this code to highlight all of them.

15. Highlight Greater than Values

Sub HighlightGreaterThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox("Enter Greater Than Value", "Enter Value")
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, _
Operator:=xlGreater, Formula1:=i
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.Interior.Color = RGB(31, 218, 154)
End With
End Sub

Once you run this code it will ask you for the value from which you want to highlight all greater values.

16. Highlight Lower Than Values

Sub HighlightLowerThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox("Enter Lower Than Value", "Enter Value")
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add _

End If
LInput: Set myRg = _
Application.InputBox _
("please select the data range:", "Selection Required", myTxt, , , , , 8)
If myRg Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
If myRg.Areas.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox "not support multiple columns"
GoTo LInput
End If
If myRg.Columns.Count <> 2 Then
MsgBox "the selected range can only contain two columns "
GoTo LInput
End If
For I = 0 To myRg.Rows.Count - 1
myStr = myRg.range("B1").Offset(I, 0).Value
With myRg.range("A1").Offset(I, 0)
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
For J = 1 To Len(.Text)
Mid(.Text, J, Len(myStr)) = myStrThen

  10. Could somebody help me create a macro script for the following routine.
    I have a survey form send to various survey respondents which is now completed and I have already exported it as an Excel File. This imported survey data has 6 (Six) options (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and N/A) for each survey question. Lets say, I have 5 respondents for each survey. So each respondent will select their option out of these six options, which I am going to show in separate colors in Agenda Sheet (Excel file) where I need to run this requested code/script.
    Against, each question I have 7 cells – The first sex cells for the options; and the 7th cell for the consensus choice. All cells are with “No Fill – White” initially. When I double click each of these 7 cells – I would like to see the following:
    Cell 1: Initial (White); When double clicked (Red)
    Cell 2: Initial (White); When double clicked (Yellow)
    Cell 3: Initial (White); When double clicked (Grey)
    Cell 4: Initial (White); When double clicked (Green)
    Cell 5: Initial (White); When double clicked (Fluorescent Green)
    Cell N/A: Initial (White); When double clicked (stay White)

    Any help would be appreciated in this regard.

  13. A helpful set of Subs and I was able to leverage “65. Create a Table of Content”. I found one issue in the code when you referenced the current workbook as “ThisWordbook” rather than “ActiveWorkbook”. In my case, I had 2 workbooks open and the original Sub code interacted with both open workbooks – not just the active one. Changing references in the code from “ThisWorkbook” to “ActiveWorkbook” restricted the sub to the single active workbook and eliminated runTime errors that I was encountering. It appears that you may want to consider this change for other Subs that use “This..” rather than “Active…” for workbook references since you are usually intending only to interact with a single [active] workbook. Thank you for putting this together.

  27. Great info. You put a lot of time into this. Unfortunately, it does not cover what I am trying to do. Do you have a code for the following scenario?
    I have a spreadsheet that contains 100 rows. Each row has multiple columns of data. I would like to take data from each row – one row at a time and copy into another spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is designed to look like a report. I am able to do this with my current level of knowledge. I will need to do this for each row of data – thus, I will need to do this 100x. I have created a recorded macro that will take each cell from the 1st row and place it in the proper place on the “report spreadsheet” and then print the spreadsheet. I need to do this for each row though. I actually spent the afternoon recording a macro where I went through and did this individually with each row (100 times). When I tried to run the macro, it said it was too big. Ugh… all that work for nothing. I have read about looping, but was not sure how to code that. I was hoping that I could add a looping code to the first original macro that takes info from row 1 of spreadsheet1 and pastes it into the proper cells on spreadsheet2 (report spreadsheet) and then prints it. Is this possible or will it be too big as well? Thank you in advance for your help.

  30. I’m trying to transliterate a excel document which has greek letters. I’d tried to write a macro, but failed.

    This macro was suppose to change the greek alpha character to an ‘a’

    But is does not like the Unichar function I tried to use. Yes, I know very little about excel macros

    Sub Macro3()

  32. Hello I’m new to macros and have the basic principle of how to use them, but code writing is not a strong point for me. What I would like to do is create a button in excel so when I open my sheet to pay the next invoice I can click this button and the totals in column “G”, copy over to column “I” but when they copy from “G” to “I” the totals keep adding up in “I”.

  33. Hi guys I’m new to this group. I have the data that will be printed by entering Id.no. in the specific cell. Then I will printed it and insert the next ID. Then print, enter the next ID. Then, print, ID, Print,…. When I write the ID, the course result has been changed. This is my question.
    Is there any code that will do insert sequential ID number to that cell and print sequentially. In addition that can I specify the number “1-12” or “1-20” by using user input box?

      • This VBA code is designed to periodically move the mouse cursor and simulate mouse clicks, as well as toggle the Num Lock key on and off. The code is intended for Microsoft Excel and includes a user interface that displays the cursor position, time elapsed, time remaining, the number of times the code has been activated, and the total run time.

        Here’s an explanation of the code with comments:

        Declare the necessary Windows API functions and constants for mouse and cursor operations:

        Private Declare PtrSafe Function SetCursorPos Lib “user32” (ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long
        Private Declare PtrSafe Sub mouse_event Lib “user32” (ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dx As Long, ByVal dy As Long, ByVal cButtons As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
        Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2
        Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4
        Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN As Long = &H8
        Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP As Long = &H10

        Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib “kernel32” (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

        Public Declare PtrSafe Function GetCursorPos Lib “user32” (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
        Public Type POINTAPI
        x As Long
        y As Long
        End Type

        2. Initialize the main subroutine, MouseMove:
        Sub MouseMove()

        3. Declare and initialize variables, set up the worksheet layout, and set default values:
        ‘… (variable declarations and worksheet setup) …

        4. Set up a loop to continuously monitor the cursor position and time elapsed:
        Do
        ‘… (monitor cursor position, time elapsed, and update the worksheet) …
        Loop

        5. Do
        ‘… (monitor cursor position, time elapsed, and update the worksheet) …
        Loop

        If x1 x2 Or y1 y2 Then
        StartTime = Timer
        Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“B4”).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        End If

        6. Update the worksheet with the cursor position, time elapsed, and other information:
        ‘… (update the worksheet with cursor position, time elapsed, etc.) …

        7. When the elapsed time reaches a certain threshold (in this case, SecondsToActivate), move the cursor, simulate mouse clicks, and toggle the Num Lock key:
        If SecondsElapsed >= SecondsToActivate Then
        ‘… (move cursor, simulate mouse clicks, and toggle Num Lock key) …
        End If

        8. Sleep for a short period before the next iteration of the loop:
        Sleep 250

        9. Close the MouseMove subroutine:
        End Sub

        This code will repeatedly move the mouse cursor, simulate left mouse button clicks, and toggle the Num Lock key when the specified time elapses without user interaction.

    • At the start of day one she has 550cm to climb
      at the start of day two she has fallen back 6cm, so will have 496cm.
      at the start of day three she has fallen back 11.4cm, so will have 447.40cm
      …….
      On day 24 she will have 57.86 cm left to climb and will so reach the top.

  53. Hi Puneet,

    I am hoping to make to leap into VBA/macro world having used Excel on a daily basis for many years!

    I followed the steps to create a PERSONAL.XLSB file and then added each of the modules above individually.

    Unfortunately, every time I open Excel I now receive a message from the .xlsb file as follows: ‘Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications – Compile error: – Expected: identifier’

    I am determined not to let this put me off and not to delete the file until I know more. I also felt it would be a waste of time spent in creating them.

    I did a quick Google search a found articles relating to reserved words but I doubt that I have any as I am only using the module above.

    Is this something you can help me with?

    I have no doubt they will be a quick hit game changer once I get them to run so thanks for your work!

  57. Hello,
    I am a beginner in VBA programming and I have the following problem that I could not solve:
    I have 4 columns with data such as ID, raw material name, price and date. I transferred the data from the raw material name column to a ListBox, I selected a raw material name from the ListBox (column 2) and I transferred the corresponding line values to TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3 and TextBox4.up to this point I managed to solve problem. I want to change the values in TextBox1..4 and then transfer them back to the initial addresses (eg A2, B2, C2, D2 cells. I couldn’t solve this.

    If you can help me with some tips I would be grateful.
    Thank you in advance.

    I want to select range of cells as range and wish to give them some formula based on vlookup…
    For example I have in one sheet purchase entries done

    On the next page I am doing the calculation of gst… So every time I have to change the row reference…As one column I have 2.5% gst.. other column 5%

    As of now every time in each column I have to every time change the cell reference or the row reference

  99. Paste as linked picture was nice. I had used record macro to get the basic code for it, but yours is much simpler and cleaner.
    My most often used macro is to Paste as Values (instead of copying the formula)
    Sub PasteValues()
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
    :=False, Transpose:=False
    End Sub
    (again recorded). I use Ctrl+Shift+V as a shortcut, so after copying with Ctrl+C, I can paste formulas or values based on whether I press shift along with my Ctrl+V
    Another 1 I use is for borders, keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+B
    Sub Border()
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
    .LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .Weight = xlHairline
    End With
    End Sub
    I have also 1 user form designed as a general Notification to tell me that the macro is running, and then to update after execution is completed. Similarly, I have a user form as a progress bar.
    Instead of manually setting up the user forms each time, I have separate macros that update the user form and enable/disable screen updating and auto calculation.
    Eg:
    Sub MacroStart()
    Notification.Button.Enabled = False
    Notification.Message.Caption = “Macro running… Please Wait”
    Notification.Show (vbModeless)
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.Calculation = xlManual
    Notification.Repaint
    End Sub
    Sub MacroStop()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
    Notification.Button.Enabled = True
    Notification.Message.Caption = “Macro execution completed”
    Notification.Repaint
    End Sub
    I can just call MacroStart at the start of each macro, and MacroStop at the end of the macro, and those handle all the user form and enable/disable stuff for me.

  110. Dear Puneet,
    This site is amazing and i get to learn something new every passing day. Sincere thanks for your time and initiative.
    I am trying to create a date stamp button (using form control) that will add customized date and time of printing in the excel footer – using a specific font, font size and font color (e.g. Veranda, 8pt, Blue)
    The end result would look something like this:
    Printed on dd-mmm-yyyy at hh:mm:ss
    I don’t want the time stamp to be inserted automatically, but rather use a form control button to insert the same when clicked.

  113. Hi Punnet
    First of all ” Thanks a lot for the Great Work ”
    I am looking for a code that will consolidate data from multiple excel files in a specific folder to a new blank excel file.

    Reply

    • I hope below 2 VBA Code will help you in your question…
      1. Combine Multiple Workbooks into One Workbook:
      Sub GetData()
      Dim sh As Worksheet
      Path = “D:\(Give Path Name where all excel files are saved)\”
      Filename = Dir(Path & “*.xlsx”)
      Do While Filename “”
      Workbooks.Open Filename:=Path & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
      For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
      ‘If LCase(Left(sh.Name, 5)) = “model” Then
      sh.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
      ‘End If
      Next sh
      Workbooks(Filename).Close
      Filename = Dir()
      Loop
      End Sub
      2. To Combine Multiple Worksheets into One WorkSheet.:
      Sub Combine()
      Dim J As Integer
      On Error Resume Next
      Sheets(1).Select
      Worksheets.Add
      Sheets(1).Name = “Data”
      Sheets(2).Activate
      Range(“A1”).EntireRow.Select
      Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range(“A1”)
      For J = 2 To Sheets.Count
      Sheets(J).Activate
      Range(“A1”).Select
      Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
      Selection.Offset(1, 0).Resize(Selection.Rows.Count – 1).Select
      Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range(“A65536”).End(xlUp)(2)
      Next
      End Sub

  117. ExcelChamps, Good evening. I’m new to VBA. Excuse me if my question too silly. I have a column in which there will be names of cities. If I type/select that name from drop down list, excel should populate pin code number in the next column. Also some other columns to be autofilled. For example, point of contact name and number of that city. My EmailID is sree21343@gmail.com. Thanks in advance

  127. Dear, I am using following code for transferring data from one sheet to another sheet, three variable parameters, i.e. between two dates and center which are selected from Dropdown menu from Main sheet.
    Programme run successfully, but each record written, i should press cancel button, after last record transfer, all data changed. I think, there is formula on CRM(Data) sheet and while transferring data formula also transferred, so data will be changed after running.
    Pl guide me in the matter.
    Sub Module()

    ‘declare variables
    Dim fromDate, toDate
    Dim MyResults As Worksheet, myData As Worksheet, MyDates As Worksheet

    ‘attribute date values to variables
    fromDate = MyDates.Range(“D7”).Value
    toDate = MyDates.Range(“D9”).Value
    mModule = MyDates.Range(“D5”).Value
    ‘convert to text format to allow filtering
    fromDate = Format(fromDate, “dd-mmm-yyyy”)
    toDate = Format(toDate, “dd-mmm-yyyy”)
    With myData
    ‘removes autofilter
    If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData
    ‘filter the data based on selected date values
    .Range(“$A$2:$K$2”).AutoFilter field:=7, Criteria1:= _
    “>=” & fromDate, Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:=”<=" & todate
    .Range("$A$2:$K$2").AutoFilter field:=4, Criteria1:=mModule
    'copy the filtered data
    .UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy
    'paste copied values to results sheet
    MyResults.Range("A1").PasteSpecial
    End With
    ' remove autofilter in mydata
    'select cell A1 in results sheet
    MyResults.Activate
    MyResults.Range("A1").Select
    End Sub
    Please any one can guide me in the matter.

  146. Although it worked for me, in the first Basic Macro, I have two observations:
    1) I think that the For loop must be something like:
    Dim j as integer
    For j = 1 to i
    ActiveCell.Value = j
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
    Next j
    that is, replace “i” by j in the index variable for the loop
    2) As I said, your original code works but I think that the index variable must be different to the inputbox variable.
    Sincerely yours,
    Carlos

  148. Great list, but it would be nice if you made it easier for us to identify changes in it since you say you make monthly changes.
    Rather than a PDF, how about putting this tips in a downloadable spreadsheet or Word document that the tips can be sorted by insertion date as well as category. Actually. If you make the download cumulative that would be even better. So each month we could replace the old file with the new one, containing the all of the tips you’ve published here over time. Even if you start now building the cumulative file, that would be better.

    Now I need to calculate the average start time for the period (say week / month) from such a table.
    How to do so?
    The best way I have right now is copy both the columns, and check for duplicates in the Date column, followed by which I get to calculate the average start time. Something like this.

        • When did you first start referring to VBA codes or macro codes? This seems like an unusual phrase to me. I first heard it about six months ago and I have been programming for decades. Instead, I would refer to VBA subroutines, VBA functions, or VBA macros. Or might refer to code in general; e.g., this code is not clean. But I think that you are using the phrase “VBA codes” to mean “VBA subroutines” and this use seems to be becoming more prevalant.
