http://www.genesispc.com/download/100VBAsimulations.zip I assume that you are already familiar with many Excel features, including graphs or charts In this book, I will only explain in more detail those features that are very helpful when you what-if-analysis with simulations For more basic features of Excel, I would refer you to some learning tools that you can find on www.mrexcel.com/microsoft-officevisual-learning.html If you want to create simulations exclusively with Excel functions and formulas, without using VBA, I recommend another book: http://genesispc.com/tocsimulations100.htm This book is not about the basics of Visual Basic (VBA) either It only uses VBA to make simulations faster, better, and more user-friendly If you want to learn VBA from the bottom up, I would recommend my interactive CD-ROM: http://genesispc.com/tocvba2013CD.htm Yet, here are a few basic rules for using VBA: • To start a new command line in VBA, use ENTER • Never use ENTER inside a command line (In this book lines may wrap to the next line, but in VBA that is not allowed.) • A colon (:) can separate amd combine several commands on the same line • Use an apostrophe (‘) for a comment after, or at the end of, a command line • To create shortcuts in Excel for a macro (or Sub in VBA), you need the Developers tab (if that tab is missing, go to File Options | Macros | Options | Shift + a character • Files with macros open with the message “Enable Content.” If you find that annoying place such files in a socalled Trusted Location: Files | Options
