Excel Modelling

There are a wide range of applications that can be created using Excel with Visual Basic for financial modeling and analysis. Here are a few examples:

  1. Financial forecasting models – By using historical data and forecasting algorithms, a financial forecasting model can be created to help managers predict future trends and plan for different scenarios.
  2. Investment analysis tools – Financial analysts can use Excel with VB to create customized models for analyzing investment opportunities, including calculating return on investment (ROI), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR).
  3. Business valuation tools – Valuing a business requires a complex analysis of financial statements, cash flow projections, and other factors. Excel with VB can be used to automate this process and generate a comprehensive valuation report.
  4. Risk management tools – Financial risks can be mitigated by using Excel with VB to create models for assessing and managing different types of risks, such as credit risk, market risk, and operational risk.
  5. Budgeting and financial reporting tools – Excel with VBA can be used to automate the budgeting process and generate financial reports, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.

Overall, Excel with VBA is a powerful tool for creating customized financial models and analysis tools for a wide range of applications. The possibilities are virtually limitless, and the only limit is the user’s imagination and skill.

Extensions and Integrations

Models created with VBA often display their own buttons and menus and can import data from external sources such as websites, Google Sheets and databases. For example a mid to large size organization could collect data using Google Forms or Google Sheets over the internet and have the data appear automatically in the Excel Workbook and incorporated into the analysis with a click of a button.
