    goragorago
    This document provides an introduction to VBA programming in Excel 2007. It discusses how to add the developer tab, set macro security levels, open the VBA editor, and describes the programming environment. It then demonstrates how to add a new module and write simple functions to calculate sums and test precision. The document also presents analytical and numerical solutions to the parachutist problem and includes VBA code examples to calculate machine epsilon values in single and double precision. Finally, it provides additional tasks to create trigonometric function plots and solve the falling parachutist problem with an updated drag force formula.

    VBA PROGRAMMING IN EXCEL 2007

    Dr. Majid Mohammadian


    majid.mohammadian@uottawa.ca
    Adding the Developer Tab
     Click the Microsoft Office Button:
    and then click Excel Options.
    Click Popular, and then select the Show Developer
    tab in the Ribbon check box.
    MACRO SECURITY
    Excel has several levels of Macro Security that can be
    selected using Developer  Macro Security

     Select Enable all


     You can also create a self-signing
    certificate
    OPENING VBA EDITOR IN EXCEL 2007
    Two ways to access the excel VBA programming
    environment:
    Alt F11
    Using the Developer tab  Visual Basic
    THE PROGRAMING ENVIRONMENT

    Editor
    Project Manager

    Properties
    ADDING A NEW MODULE
    Select your spreadsheet in the project explorer
    Use the main menu or the contextual menu (mouse
    right button) to insert the new module
    A simple function: my_sum
    Open VBA using alt+f11
    Type the following:

    Function my_sum(a, b)
    my_sum = a + b
    End Function

    Return to excel using Alt+q


    Use your function
    Save your file as Macro-Enabled (*.xlsm )
    Single and double precision
    Add the following functions

    Function test_s()
    Dim x As Single
    x = 1.23456789012345
    test_s = x
    End Function

    Function test_d()
    Dim x As Double
    x = 1.23456789012345
    test_d = x
    End Function
    THE PARACHUTIST PROBLEM
    Analytical solution:
    gm   c m  t

    v(t )  1  e
    c  
    Numerical (finite difference) solution:

     c 
    v(ti 1 )  v (ti )   g   v(ti )   (ti 1  ti )
     m 
    or
    New value  Old value   slope   step size 
    We are going to implement both solutions in Excel
    ANALYTICAL SOLUTION
    To calculate analytical solution using Excel, let
    us first set up a simple spreadsheet. As shown
    below, the first step involves entering labels and
    numbers into the spreadsheet cells
    To attach names to parameters values, select cells
    Formula tab  Define Name

    Create the time column:


    D8=0
    D9=D8+dt, Drag down

    Type the following formula in F8


    =g*m/cd*(1-exp(-cd/m*D8))
    Drag down

    Numerical: G8=0:
    (Type in G9) =G8+(g-cd/m*G8)*dt
    Function v2_parachute

    Function v2_parachute(v1, dt, g, cd, m)


    v2_parachute = v1 + (g - cd / m * v1) * dt
    End Function
    MACHINE EPSILON
    Machine, or computer epsilon (eps) is the smallest floating point
    number that can be added to a floating point 1 that yields a
    result different from 1.
    It is determined by the following type of algorithm
    epsi=1
    DO
    IF(epsi+1 < 1 ) EXIT
    epsi = epsi / 2
    END DO
    epsi = epsi * 2
    print epsi
    END
    VBA CODE FOR MACHINE EPSILON
    Function machineeps()
    Dim epsi As Double
    epsi = 1
    Do
    If 1 + epsi <= 1 Then Exit Do
    epsi = epsi / 2
    Loop
    machineeps = 2 * epsi
    End Function
    Single precision
    Function machineeps_s()
    Dim epsi As Single
    epsi = 1
    Do
    If 1 + epsi <= 1 Then Exit Do
    epsi = epsi / 2
    Loop
    machineeps_s = 2 * epsi
    End Function
    Other Tasks
    Task 6: Create a table where x are the values from -3.1415 to
    3.1415, and the values of y are y= cos(x) without using VB. Plot
    it. Add a title “y= cos (x)”, the axis titles x and y, and the legend.
    Now add another column with values of y=sin(x). Try to add the
    new series of values to the plot without plot the graph again
    (Hint: See “Adding a new series of values” in Plotting ). Note:
    Give your function in VB a special name e.g. my_cos (why?).

    Task 7: Define the function y= cos(x) +sin(x) using VB, and plot
    it from 0 to 3.1415.

    Task 8 (To be submitted with assignment 2): Write a VBA


    code for the falling parachute problem assuming that the drag
    force formula is now FD is now FD=cV2. Submit a print of all
    your VBA procedures and a table of v versus t using the
    following data: c =0.125kg/s and
