VBA offers extensive automation capabilities in Excel that go beyond the traditional work with workbooks and worksheets. Users can leverage VBA to handle data refresh, resizing, and recounting efficiently through Power Query, minimizing the need for excessive manual coding. By maintaining file naming conventions and ensuring files are saved correctly, VBA aids in organizing data effectively. Additionally, VBA can automate tasks such as distributing reports, creating PowerPoint presentations, and updating large presentations swiftly. With reference libraries akin to Python, VBA enables tasks like merging and splitting PDFs using applications like Adobe, showcasing its broad automation potential.
