VBA  XVII- A Simple Calculator

 

Although MS Excel can perform all kinds of calculations, but isn't it cool to program a customized VBA calculator that can perform some basic calculations? Today I was a bit exhausted so I let my son handled VB Today. Initially he as a bit reluctant but after some persuasions he finally agreed to do it, and he programmed a nice little VBA calculator that can perform some basic arithmetic operations.  Here is the VBA program:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Range("A3").Value = Range("A1").Value + Range("A2").Value
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Range("A3").Value = Range("A1").Value - Range("A2").Value
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Range("A3").Value = Range("A1").Value * Range("A2").Value
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Range("A3").Value = Range("A1").Value / Range("A2").Value
End Sub

 


 


Explanation:

This a very simple program which I think don't need much explanations. Basically you create four command buttons that specifically designed to perform addition, subtraction, division and multiplication operations. The function Range("A1") is to specify the location of the cell that displays the values. The answer in cell A3 will display the result of addition, subtraction, division or multiplication depending on which button you press.
