Core Concepts for Visual Basic for Applications Automation
VBA is derived from Visual Basic 6–era syntax and runtime, embedded into apps like Excel, Word, and Access.
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is the built-in scripting language for Microsoft Office that lets you automate repetitive tasks, build custom tools, and control Office apps like Excel, Word, and Outlook programmatically. With VBA you can write macros to clean and transform data, generate reports, interact with other files and systems, and create simple user interfaces—all inside the Office documents your users already work with.
