Real Comparison Example

Prompt: "Remove duplicate emails from my customer list"

ChatGPT Response

Generic Code

Sub RemoveDuplicates()
    Range("A1:A1000").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1
End Sub

No error handling

Hardcoded range (what if you have 2000 rows?)

Doesn't specify which column

No user feedback

Might delete headers

vbacode.io Response

Production-Ready

Sub RemoveDuplicateEmails()
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim initialCount As Long
    Dim finalCount As Long

    ' Set reference to Contacts sheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Contacts")

    ' Get initial count
    lastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    initialCount = lastRow - 1

    ' Remove duplicates from column B (Email)
    ws.Range("A1:B" & lastRow).RemoveDuplicates _
        Columns:=2, Header:=xlYes

    ' Calculate removed count
    lastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    finalCount = lastRow - 1

    ' Show results
    MsgBox "Removed " & (initialCount - finalCount) & _
        " duplicate records.", vbInformation

    Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
    MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Description, vbCritical
End Sub

Error handling for protected sheets, missing data

Dynamic range detection (works with any data size)

Clear variable names you can understand

User feedback showing what happened

Header protection & comments explaining each step

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use ChatGPT for other things?

Absolutely! ChatGPT is fantastic for general questions, explanations, and other programming languages. We just happen to be better at Excel VBA specifically.

What if I need to modify the generated code?

Our code includes detailed comments so you (or ChatGPT!) can understand what each part does and make changes confidently.

Do you support other Excel features?

Yes! We generate VBA for data processing, report generation, email automation, file operations, charts, pivot tables, userforms, and more. Browse our template library to see examples.

What about Google Sheets?

We focus exclusively on Excel VBA. For Google Sheets (Apps Script), ChatGPT is a better choice.

How much does it cost?
