Make your office life easier with simple and fast Excel VBA solutions.
This was my first main automation in Excel VBA. I was working a lot on SAP data and modifying it in Excel on the daily basis. Almost every day tons of same routine for get the data. One day I thought to myself about automation. I knew that I can record my activity in Excel, but did not know at all how to connect to SAP using Excel VBA?
All in all, array is awesome to operate on big data. It is much faster vs standard Excel table. But how they gonna behave in the situation presented like in https://simpleexcelvba.com/can-arrays-store-cell-properties-like-font-colors-or-fill-colors/ where I’m using 3rd dimension to store color property in array?
Continue reading “Array vs table – store color property speed comparison”I am big fan of arrays. Since I found out about arrays I have been trying to use them everywhere! Or maybe just there where it is possible.
I recently wrote about them, if You missed it I highly recommend reading my post https://simpleexcelvba.com/arrays-one-of-the-best-things-you-can-learn-in-excel-vba/ We all know that arrays can store values, for example 2 dimensional array can hold a Excel table values.

So, what do we need to have a progress bar?
First of all, we need to create a form. It should have at least 1 textbox or label and the main thing – frame and label inside that frame.
Some time ago, when I was learning about looping I read that “You should avoid For Each loop when it is not necessary” or something like that. From that time I was trying to use only For loops. You can imagine my surprise when some guy with over 50k reputation points on StackOverflow said to me encouraging to use For Each, because it is faster! So which is faster – For vs For Each?
So why not check it? 🙂
Continue reading “For vs For Each – which is faster?”As I mentioned in the title – arrays are awesome. This is one of the main things You should learn working with Excel VBA. In case of data, I think I can safely say, that arrays are amazing alternative for tables in VBA. To prove that statement I’d like to start with 1-dimension array.
But first things first – You may ask:
What the heck are thooose arrays?!
