How To Create Vba Code Modules In Excel

Sign up for our Excel webinar, times added weekly: www.excelcampus.com/blueprint...
In this video I explain the different places to store macros, functions & VBA code in a workbook. We specifically look at the Code Module, Sheet Module, and ThisWorkbook Module to learn the differences between how each works.
Code Modules allow us to store regular macros (sub procedures) and functions (User Defined Functions, UDFs). This is the typical place we start writing and storing our macros. The macro recorder also creates code in a code module.
Each sheet in the workbook has a sheet object in the VB Editor. These are listed in the Microsoft Excel Objects folder for each open workbook in the Project Window. Double-clicking a sheet object opens its code module. Here we store regular macros & functions.
We can also Event Procedures that will run when the user takes an action in the worksheet. This could be actions like selecting a cell, activating a sheet, or deleting a sheet. There are a lot of events for the sheet object.
Each workbook contains one object called ThisWorkbook. The ThisWorkbook object is stored at the bottom of the Microsoft Excel Objects folder.
The main purpose of the ThisWorkbook module is to run event procedures (macros) when the user takes an action in the workbook. This could be when the user opens the workbook, before they close the workbook, when they select a worksheet, range, or even update a pivot table.

Thank you very much. Not having used VBA in Excel for many years, I had forgotten the logic of where to put my code depending on what functionality I wanted. Your accurate, to-the-point description helped me refresh my memory and not waste as much time looking around for solutions to my basic (no pun intended) errors.

I am new and trying to learn VBA. This video helped me a lot to clear my understanding of different modules in VBA. Effectively explained the difference, in Code Module, Sheet Module, and This Workbook Module.Thanks

[@michalfomaidis4468]

Great, comprehensive explanation. Simply perfect! Thanks!

[@mofojackson]

Jon you're awesome! I am very new to actual 'coding' in excel via VBA / Macros etc. I was really lost about where to place codes and this has been a huge help! Thanks buddy! It's already starting to make way more sense now! :)

Outstanding, Jon; thank you. A beautifully clear presentation, both in enunciation and in video quality.
I don't mean to sound xenophobic but I wish every-one that made such material for the Internet would watch -- and learn from -- your work.

Hi Jon.
I have a question. It is possible to attach a SqLite database in an Excel file, and then use it, but it is inside the file in such a way that it is not visible to the users, maybe it is part of the xml file that is created when the Ribbon is customized of a File in Excel

[@ApacheGamingUK]

Hi, where is part two of this video? I was wanting to learn about Class Modules.

[@rogerh2694]

When you select "change", that is also a cell selection change event? By default when you choose "worksheet", you're given an event procedure that runs on cell selection so is this correct?

[@PeggywongPeggy]

Hi Jon, yesterday I have run one module index and match, if I want to hide the formula. how am i going to use this VBA

[@Kanapita]

[@KM-co5mx]

Question please... What if you added a Button (Insert/Shapes...) with an assigned Module Macro to it.
Can you create a Worksheet event for when the user clicks (left-clicks) the button?
I can't find a way to do this... Thanks!

[@maxmustermann853]

Hello guys, I'm just a beginner in vba programming, so i have following question: I want to perform a mathematical calculation in 2 different ways, which are programmed in 2 different modules. When I call up the first function (module 1) on my excel sheet, everything works fine. When I call up the second function (module 2), value 0 is displayed in the cell. I know, that the code in the second module is correct. Does anyone have an idea?
