Yo anyone have experience with VBA for Excel

2019-02-06 17:53:02 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird I'm reading that book, it's really good

2019-02-06 17:55:20 UTC  

Which book?

2019-02-06 17:55:44 UTC  

I had to deal with VBA in Excel before.

2019-02-06 17:55:46 UTC  

It's cancer.

2019-02-06 17:58:17 UTC  

Oof

2019-02-06 17:58:27 UTC  

A Conflict of Visions

2019-02-06 17:58:34 UTC  

He talks about it in that interview lol

2019-02-06 18:00:04 UTC  

Oh. Well, he's written several good books.I posted that clip because of the subject he addresses.

2019-02-06 18:00:17 UTC  

Why's it cancer? We're switching from G Suite to MS Office Suite at work so i have to learn VBA and Excel to replicate all of the conveniences i made with Google Script

2019-02-06 18:00:18 UTC  

I just remembered it from the title, not all exact content.

2019-02-06 18:00:50 UTC  

He also wrote Basic Economics, White Liberals and Black Rednecks, and some others.

2019-02-06 18:01:13 UTC

2019-02-06 18:01:47 UTC  

I'm not sure if that was you.

2019-02-06 18:01:50 UTC  

Oh, yeah it was.

2019-02-06 18:02:00 UTC  

I remember someone showing me that, but I didn't know who.

2019-02-06 18:02:08 UTC  

Big ol oof

2019-02-06 18:02:15 UTC  

Too many oofs today.

2019-02-06 18:02:18 UTC  

Anyway what's up with VBA

2019-02-06 18:02:23 UTC  

Intellectuals and Society is another good book.

2019-02-06 18:02:34 UTC  

Sowell is a really amazing social commentator.

2019-02-06 18:02:42 UTC  

VBA? It sucks.

2019-02-06 18:02:58 UTC  

Yeah I'm asking how lol

2019-02-06 18:03:24 UTC  

I mean obviously it's ugly as shit, it's Visual Basic

2019-02-06 18:03:27 UTC  

But idk what else

2019-02-06 18:03:29 UTC  

That's too broad of a question.

2019-02-06 18:03:49 UTC  

Just name anything you don't like about it

2019-02-06 18:03:56 UTC  

I have a free ebook on it I think.

2019-02-06 18:03:59 UTC  

I have a huge library.

2019-02-06 18:04:05 UTC  

Lol

2019-02-06 18:04:07 UTC  

Several gigabytes of books. I could take a look.

2019-02-06 18:04:29 UTC  

I don't like how it's embedded into Excel.

2019-02-06 18:04:37 UTC  

And the flow control constructs are clunky.

2019-02-06 18:04:52 UTC  

If I wanted to do anything data based, I would probably use R instead.

2019-02-06 18:05:44 UTC  

As long as it's not worse than the Google Script service, which i hate so much

2019-02-06 18:06:07 UTC  

So, did you have any specific problem with VBA?

2019-02-06 18:06:26 UTC  

If it's statistical in nature I can help from a maethmatical standpoint.

2019-02-06 18:06:49 UTC  

I can help with anything math related.
