Automatic emails outlook- Excel VBA


Automatic emails outlook- Excel VBA

In this post, I want to share a VBA code/Macro that first formats data in Excel sheet, saves it with today’s date and composes the Email in outlook, adds attachment and body so before it is sent, you take a quick glance and then press the send button.

The example file can be downloaded.

VBA code is saved in this file (Module 1) and can be run manually by clicking on Developer tab > VBA > Module 1 and run button (used to run code).

So we have a file with three sheets, the first one namely ‘Summary’ have a pivot summarizing data that we want to include in our email body.

In second sheet, we have raw data that is the basis of our summary pivot. From here we will compile the email list to whom we want to send email.

In sheet3, the email list compilation will work behind the scenes with VBA.

So our VBA code, mentioned below, will do following.

> First it will go to Sheet3 and clear contents from A,B and C Column if any.

> Copy the email addresses from columns E & G of Sheet Summary, combines them, removes duplicates and save them in Column C of Sheet 3.

> Arranges EMAIL addresses in order i.e. separated by “;”, and then clears the contents of Sheet3’s column C.

> Saves the File at specified location and name with current date. Note: In this part of code, you need to update the file location and name as per your requirement.

> Now the Summary sheet’s data will be copied in EMAIL body and TO and CC email addresses, and file attachment, will be added. Note: Here you need to change the CC email address as per need or remove the CC line.
