VBA Automation Project || Build a Worksheet to Control the Flow of a Macro || Lots of Tips & Tricks

Learn how to control a macro from the Excel worksheet.
In this video, we configure the Excel front-end i.e. a worksheet, from where we can control various elements of a reporting macro. The idea is to build this macro for a third-person user and give them the ability to:
- input various details such as folder path to pick up file from
- run the macro in individual steps or run in one flow
- and, trouble-shoot errors (themselves) that occur due to incorrectly entered details in the input areas.
There will be a huge emphasis on error handling.
You will find a lot of tips and tricks all along within this video, such as:
- how to use Radio Option buttons
- how to use Enums
- how to send an email based on details entered on a worksheet.
- how to split the email subject onto various lines.
- how check if a file or folder exists on our computer drive.
- how to validate a file name and check for extension.
- how to validate email addresses

Thank you for posting this excellent project on request. I would request you to make videos on Error handlers seprately and Sub Proceesure as well where you pass parameters in sub procesure so that we can understand both topics deeply and clear our doubts. You are doing excellent job for beginners like me. God bless you.
