Calculator Excel using VBA User Form Macros

Calculator Excel using VBA User Form Macros:Project Objective

Calculator using MS Excel VBA User Form. Following is the step-by-step detailed explanation to automate this scheme using VBA. How we are doing calculations, clearing the text, etc.

How we are proceeding to develop this project module (The KEY steps) :

To create a calculator, you can see the structure of the user form in the section. Let me describe the key steps to creating a calculator project. We are going to write multiple procedures for multiple controls with the down approach.

Step 1: Create User Form: we have to first create the User form from the Insert Toolbar in VBA Editor.
Step 2: Place toolbox controls on the made user form: Place the required controls on the user form. You can drag the controls from the toolbox and drop controls on the user form.
Step 3: Set properties and alignment of all controls: Properties of each control has set. It is shown in the design section.
Step 4: Clear Button: It is used to clear the display area.
Step 5: Back Button: It is used to go back to one digit.
Step 6: Divide (/) Button: It is used for division.
Step 7: Multiplication (*) Button: It is used for multiplication.
Step 8: Minus (-) Button: It is used for subtraction.
Step 9: Add (+) Button: It is used for addition.
Step 10: Dot (.) Button: It is used to add the dot to the number.
Step 11: One (1) Button: It is used to display the number 1.
Step 12: Two (2) Button: It is used to display the number 2.
Step 13: Three (3) Button: It is used to display the number 3.
Step 14: Four (4) Button: It is used to display the number 4.
Step 15: Five (5) Button: It is used to display the number 5.
Step 16: six (6) Button: It is used to display the number 6.
Step 17: Seven (7) Button: It is used to display the number 7.
Step 18: Eight (8) Button: It is used to display the number 8.
Step 19: Nine (9) Button: It is used to display the number 9.
Step 20: Zero (0) Button: It is used to display number .0
Step 21: Equal To (=) Button: It is used to perform all calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.
Step 22: Text-box: It is used to display results.
