Excel for Economic Analysis: Simplicity, Flexibility and Automation with VBA

Recently I had to dive into Excel a bit, although I used to work closely with it.

Once again, I am convinced how simple and flexible this mechanism is for economic analysis, planning, and building financial and economic models of any business especially when you use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) or just macros to automate certain operations.

Whatever all the great punters of Python, Java, C#, etc. say (although Excel itself is developed on the basis of C and C++), ultimately, for some reason, the end user often would like to upload information from the interfaces of their products and databases to a tabular format, and specifically to xlsx.

And this is done mainly in order to solve some of their local tasks in a simple and understandable computing environment in which most users are comfortable. It's kind of like WordPress for website development.
