Zoom is a video conferencing software that can be integrated into VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to enhance the functionality of Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. This allows users to automate tasks and perform actions within these programs while using Zoom. Examples of how VBA can be used with Zoom include creating automated meeting invitations, managing participant lists, and controlling presentation features. With the use of VBA, Zoom can be seamlessly incorporated into everyday tasks, making meetings and presentations more efficient and organized.
Use Zoom in VBA (With Examples)
You can use the following methods to specify the zoom in Excel by using VBA:
Method 1: Set Zoom to Specific Amount
Sub ZoomToAmount()
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 150
End Sub
This particular macro will set the zoom to be 150% for the currently active sheet.
Method 2: Set Zoom to Currently Selected Range
Sub ZoomToSelection()
Selection.Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
End Sub
This particular macro will zoom into the currently selected range.
Method 3: Set Zoom to Specific Range
Sub ZoomToRange()
Range("C1:E5").Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
End Sub
This particular macro will zoom into the range C1:E5.
The following examples show how to use each method in practice with the following sheet in Excel that contains a dataset about various basketball players:
Example 1: Set Zoom to Specific Amount
We can use the following macro to set the zoom of the currently active sheet to be 150%:
Sub ZoomToAmount()
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 150
End Sub
When we run this macro, the sheet will automatically have a zoom of 150%:
By setting the zoom to a value greater than 100, we zoom in.
To zoom out, set the zoom to a value less than 100.
Example 2: Set Zoom to Currently Selected Range
We can use the following macro to set the zoom of the currently active sheet to be the currently selected range:
Sub ZoomToSelection()
Selection.Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
End Sub
For example, suppose we select the range A7:C11.
When we run this macro, the sheet will automatically zoom into this range:
Example 3: Set Zoom to Specific Range
We can use the following macro to set the zoom of the currently active sheet to the range C1:E5:
Sub ZoomToRange()
Range("C1:E5").Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
End Sub
When we run this macro, the sheet will automatically zoom into this range:
