Hi Kenji, I am in the final year of my engineering course, and this helped me in my design calculations and report. And got to learn a new thing. Thanks a lot.
Great beginner intro to VBA! I do, however, feel compelled to mention that "Merge and Center" is generally not considered best practices for more complicated workbooks.
@@Brenleysage merge And center makes your spreadsheet looks better. However, it will reduce the efficiency of data filtering. For example, if you merge Col A and B, then you will not be able to do a proper filter on Col A and B anymore.
Thank you Kenji for the informative video. I just wanted to add that VBA is not a tool, but rather a programming language. Great job by highlighting its capabilities!
@@LilYoda66 I'd say one of the main things you need to be able to do as a Business Analyst is to look at existing systems and how to improve and enhance them. That's what I do pretty much all day
Hey Kenji, thank you so much for all the videos. They are making a real difference. Stay the way you are (very authentic and with your energetic smile) and you will go very far with this TH-cam channel. A year (mostly 2 ) from now you will have a million subscribers.
You have great videos and I have learned very much by watching them. I have used VBA for some time for automation. There is one small mistake in the video. The code that You showed with "xlBottom" is vertical position of the text in merged cells (B2:G2) (the text is on the bottom of the merged cells). Argument for dynamical range is xlDown (or xlToRight if you go Ctrl+Shift+Right).
@@enderaslan7998 Agreed that it's not a small mistake. It really makes it seem like he doesn't really know what he's talking about. As for why it still works, using the ctrl+shift+arrow the recorder selects a new range from the original selection to the end of the data, so he is correct when he says that is the reason that it still works. As long as the data is consecutive you could add as many rows or columns to the ends as you want and it would still work fine, however if you move your data it would break.
This is awesome. I have to upload stocks and sales data on google sheets on a day to day basis, which requires quite a few formulas to convert dates and formatting cells. Im planning to make a master sheet on my pc where i could keep the data for each day using macros and then once the sheets are ready I can copy paste them on a new sheet and upload. Will try it tmrw and then edit my comment. Thanks alot.
@@KenjiExplains you are welcome boss! i have been following you for a long time. i Don't get that much time to practice all of your tricks but whenever i see your video, I don't waste time to do other things 💝 keep it up Boss!
Hey I'm definitely fish out of water here, i'm more mechanical and DIY than a tech person. But I definitely see use for this material in the long run. I'm a fan of learning in general (hence why i'm watching your videos, more information..) I see this being valid in future skills. Another fantastic part of this is crossing paths with ppl whom are waaay smarter than myself in these areas. Nothing like being a beginner somewhere new. I'm quite tech saavy for the fact that I recognized all your keystrokes and was able to follow with ease, altho i'm not familiar with exel. Complete beginner here for that program. Thank you for the video! I will definitely be watching more! Keep making excellent quality work. This was fantastic.
If you're not familiar with Excel, why would you need to learn macros? That's not me being snarky, it's a genuine question! I would recommend you to learn Excel first because what this is doing is automating what is just an Excel process.
Kenji- thanks for the great work! You make excel so much more accessible. Question:These macros work in this workbook and the buttons only work on the page you made them on. How will this help with next weeks "financials"?
You can choose to save your macro to "This Worksheet" or "personal worksheet". If you choose personal, then you can always access the recorded macro when working on different workbooks
WARNING: 2nd macro runs because he didnt click anywhere else after pressing record macro button! Anyone who mistakenly clicks anywhere else other than in the video, these macros will fail or worse (like "seem" as not working eventhough it does the same thing on a range already done). If you are creating a macro teaching video you must include: 1st step to record macros 2nd to explaining range selection 3rd do whatever you want, at least it wont be executed on wrong destination
Hello, could you please help me with the following scenario? I want to assign cases to multiple employees from various branches, with a minimum and maximum number of cases to one employee. How is this possible in Excel.
Good day , is it possible to make a macro for repetitive tasks but I need it for different name files. Its always the same acruins but the file names change for everydays date kind of thing . Thanks
Is it possible to autopulate different word documents from same spreadsheet? I mean, if there's a specific cell autopulate A.docx, otherwise b.docx, or c.docx etc...
Is that formula can be used in the sane sheet in another region? 😢why on creating macro gives bugs? Does the data has to be in the same range of cells to 😮execute. Selecting button and selecting the macros itself enough to link?
@KenjiExplains: In my excel I have header row starting row 6 and from number 7 row we have data in cells. I have a data in row 7 in columns a,e ,h,I,j that is calculated via a vlookup. Now I need that every time a data is entered in column E cells from row 8 , the data from row7 for columns a,h,I,j should be autopopulated in the row where we entered the data in column E . How to do this in excel using macro
at this point you really need to start dabbling into VBA or at least googling "how do I create a macro to [insert issue] in vba" and there are plenty of websites that provide you with stuff you can just copy and paste into a module
Hey Kenji, thank you. I was wondering why I cannot insert combo chart? It doesn'r recognize multiple columns. Says : select at least 2 series of data. I have three series, just like you
Hi Would kindly asked you to make a video or send me any link regarding how to work with dates on excel sheet To format in such manner that it is possible to have in advance when the dates expires. Any help plz
Hi Kenji, can we automate a report if the values in the cell differ every month but formatting remains the same. Will Excel automate such details like total up sum but with different values every month.
Question: I've made an automatic stock tracker but cannot figure out how to have 60 individual cells change color automatically based on the current price compared to where it started the day...obviously green for + on the day and red for - on the day. Thanks in advance
What about if you have the same tasks everyday except your spreadsheet has variable rows? For example some days it will only have 200 rows, sometimes it goes to a couple thousand rows? How can you create a macro to auto select a # changing of rows from a list?
I am satisfied with macro actually, particularly it can help me completed my task until printing in document Form, such as Invoice, receipt, etc. I wonder if Power Query can asisst me until printing as macro did. Can anyone enlighten me?
Hi Kenji!. I have a question about macros. I am working as an inventory analyst and i have to adjust the negative stock quantity as positive with the products have similar descriptions and costs. I want to record macros for that and can't seem to pin it down. Can you please give me some tips?

@Kenji - how do you select the colours? I know alt+H,H and N work for no fill but choosing the colour doesn't work. How do you do it ?
I highly recommend using personal folder and use a shortcut

But if theres a macro embedded in excel, will that be a problem if you import that file into Power BI?

Thanks for this valuable Video ❤ just one help, What is the tool or program using to record this high quality video?
Good content! For the first example, what if you recieve the same data every week but on different cells?
Hey Jose, though question, I think the easiest would be to move the data to the equivalent spot (like always the first cells on Excel)
at this point you really need to start dabbling into VBA or at least googling "how do I create a macro to [insert issue] in vba" and there are plenty of websites that provide you with stuff you can just copy and paste into a module
So the shortcuts you use, are they for Windows? Are they the same for Mac users?
