Within this book are some pathways and strategies on how to begin understanding the basics of Visual Basic for Applications. It is here to assist you in learning Visual Basic for Applications from scratch or perhaps even expanding upon your knowledge of writing in Visual Basics for Applications. Visual Basic for Applications is used to create User Defined Functions (UDFs). A User Defined Function is a function that the program user inputs into the program themselves. Though it is commonly believed that most features (functions) are already coded into the programs that you use, that simply isn’t true. By applying Visual Basic for Applications to create new User Defined Functions, you can code your way through the Microsoft Excel program and have an assortment of functions that are key to you.
