What is a vba?
 

What is a vba code and how do I use it to sort sheets in a workbook? I have
the code, I just don't know how to program it and use it. Any advice would
be very helpful thank you.

Hit ALT+F11 and this will open the VBE (Visual Basic Editor)
Top left you will hopefully see an explorer style pane. Within this pane
you need to search for your workbook's name, and when you find it you may
need to click on the + to
expand it. Within that you should see the following:-

VBAProject(Your_Filename)
Microsoft Excel Objects
Sheet1(Sheet1)
Sheet2(Sheet2)
Sheet3(Sheet3)
ThisWorkbook

If you have named your sheets then those names will appear in the brackets
above as opposed to
what you see at the moment in my note.

Right click on the where it says VBAProject(Your_Filename) and choose
'Insert Module' and it will now look like this

VBAProject(Your_Filename)
Microsoft Excel Objects
Sheet1(Sheet1)
Sheet2(Sheet2)
Sheet3(Sheet3)
ThisWorkbook
Modules
Module1

Double click the Module1 bit and then paste in the code you have starting at
the Sub xxx() bit and finishing at the End Sub bit.

Then hit File / Close and return to Microsoft Excel and save the file. Now
just do Tools / Macro / Macros / xxx


If you then want to get rid of the macro, then do the following:-

Sheet1(Sheet1)
Sheet2(Sheet2)
Sheet3(Sheet3)
etc..........................
ThisWorkbook
Modules
Module1

Right click on the Module1 and select remove. When prompted with a question
re exporting, just hit no. Then hit File / Close and return to Microsoft
Excel and save the
file.
