Hi
Can I say VBA is not meant to do anything new that a user can not do in excel?
I know VBA is used to automate tasks, repeat tasks, create forms, create functions etc. All these things I can do it in excel without needing to use VBA. Can I say that, or VBA meant to do more or new things that users can not do without knowing VBA? Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
No, you cannot say that. You can do a lot with VBA that you cannot do without.

I don't really know what kind of things you ae looking for, your question is a little odd, why are you asking?

Some functions not available if not using VBA:
Userforms
Use of libraries not native to Excel, things like web scraping
Windows APIs

We can write you a script where all you must do is change a cell value and almost anything can happen immediately. Can you do that manually.

Thanks for your reply. So if I understood you well, you can write a script to do ???? (anything) if a cell value i.e. A1 is changed? Did I understand you well?
If yes, then If() function can do that.
