This example uses the CreateObject function to set a reference (xlApp) to Microsoft Excel. It uses the reference to access the Visible property of Microsoft Excel, and then uses the Microsoft Excel Quit method to close it. Finally, the reference itself is released. Dim xlApp As Object ' Declare variable to hold the reference. First, I dumped the UsedRange into a Variable Array (since cycling through an Array is a lot quicker than looping through actual cells), then I test each slot to first make sure it's not empty (this saved me loads of time), then if it wasn't empty I tested each slot for each value I was looking to replace by using the Instr function.
When you type a number in Excel 2013, you will see all of the dependent cells in the visible window animate with the new result dropping in to the cell as if it were a slot machine.
This is one of those beginner features introduced in Excel 2013 to show new Excellers that when you type a value in one cell, Excel is going to the trouble of updating all of these other cells. It seems silly, doesn't it?
However, there is an expert use for this feature. Subconsciously, your mind will start to notice the cells that are not animating that should be. Perhaps one of those new Excellers added with a calculator instead of the AutoSum and hard-coded an answer. You can actually spot these when you notice the total is not animating.
