Macro codes can save you a ton of time. You can automate small
as well as heavy tasks with VBA codes.

And do you know? With the help of macros, you can break all the
limitations of Excel which you think Excel has.

And today, I have listed some of the useful codes examples to


help you become more productive in your day to day work.

You can use these codes even if you haven't used VBA before
that. But here's the first thing to know:

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.

(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

Top 100 Useful Excel MACRO CODES Examples [VBA Library] + PDF about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fptop.only.wip.la%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fexcelchamps.com%2Fblog%2Fuse...

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()

Top 100 Useful Excel MACRO CODES Examples [VBA Library] + PDF about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fptop.only.wip.la%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fexcelchamps.com%2Fblog%2Fuse...

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
