-Unlocking Excel’s Power: How ChatGPT Can Supercharge Your Macros with VBA
ChatGPT can write VBA code, making it one of the best tools available to help you
automate Excel processes.VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications. It’s the
programming language Excel uses to create macros.
By describing the process you want to automate in Excel, ChatGPT will create a script
on your behalf that you can copy and paste into the VBA editor. (You can launch the
editor by pressing Alt + F11 on Windows)
Example: Prompting ChatGPT to write a macro that will automatically
refresh all pivot tables in an Excel workbook upon opening.
ChatGPT automatically generates the script, and if you click the “Copy
code” button at the top right of the response it will copy to the clipboard
in a simple format that is even more easily copied.
In the next example, we asked it to write the VBA code to copy the data first sheet to the
second sheet with the Supervisor filter given on the select sheet.
We copied the code and pasted it into a new module inside the visual basic editor and
assign that macro on a button.
