Overview

The VBA Code Formatter is a professional utility designed to clean, indent, and standardize your Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) scripts, ensuring your Excel macros are clean, readable, and easy to maintain.

When to use

Before sharing your VBA macros with colleagues to ensure professional code quality.
When inheriting messy or unformatted legacy code that is difficult to debug.
During the final stages of script development to standardize indentation and keyword casing.

How it works

1Paste your raw VBA code into the input area.
2Adjust the indentation size and toggle options like keyword capitalization or line numbering.
3Click the format button to instantly generate a clean, structured version of your script.

Use cases

Standardizing team-wide coding conventions for shared Excel workbooks.
Preparing code snippets for documentation or technical blog posts.
Cleaning up recorded macros that often contain redundant or poorly formatted lines.

Examples

1. Standardizing Legacy Macros

Data Analyst

Background

An analyst inherited a massive Excel workbook with hundreds of lines of unindented, messy VBA code.

Problem

The code was nearly impossible to read, making it difficult to identify where specific loops and error handlers began and ended.

How to use

Paste the code into the tool, set the indent size to 4, and enable 'Convert Keywords to Uppercase'.

indentSize: 4, convertKeywords: true

Outcome

The code was transformed into a clean, readable structure with consistent indentation and standardized keywords, significantly reducing debugging time.

2. Preparing Code for Documentation

IT Consultant

Background

A consultant needed to include a VBA script in a client's technical manual.

Problem

The raw code lacked line numbers and had inconsistent spacing, which looked unprofessional in a formal document.

How to use

Paste the script, enable 'Add Line Numbers', and ensure the formatting is set to a standard 2-space indent.
