Excel.Application
Use the Application object
to access other objects in
the model
Dim xlWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Set xlWorkbook =
xlApp.Workbooks("Book1.xlsx")
Dim xlWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set xlWorksheet =
xlWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Step Code
1 Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
2
Dim xlWorkbook As
Excel.Workbook
Set xlWorkbook =
xlApp.Workbooks("Book1.xlsx")
3
Dim xlWorksheet As
Excel.Worksheet
Set xlWorksheet =
xlWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

11. EXAMPLES OF MANIPULATING OBJECTS IN
THE EXCEL OBJECT MODEL
Activate a specific
worksheet:
xlWorksheet.Activa
te
Read or write the
value of a cell:
Dim cellValue As
Variant
cellValue =
xlWorksheet.Range
("A1").Value

• You can create event procedures and
add code to them to specify the
actions to take when the event
occurs
• Some common events in Excel VBA
include the Worksheet Change
event, the Before Save event, and
