Application Object

The mother of all objects is Excel itself. We call it the Application object. The application object gives access to a lot of Excel related options.

WorksheetFunction

You can access almost any Excel function through the Application object.

1. For example, place a command button on your worksheet and add the following code line:

When you click the command button on the worksheet, Excel VBA calculates the average of the values in Cell A1 and Cell A2 and places the result into cell A3.

Note: instead of Application.WorksheetFunction.Average, you can also just use WorksheetFunction.Average.

There are many more worksheet functions you can use in Excel VBA. Want to see more?

2. Type in: worksheetfunction.

3. A list will appear showing you all the worksheet functions available.
