How to do mail from excel
You can send an email from Excel using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Prerequisites:
- You need to have Excel 2007 or later version.
- You need to have Outlook installed on your computer.
Step 1: Enable the Developer Tab
- Go to the "File" menu and click on "Options".
- In the "Excel Options" window, click on the "Customize Ribbon" button.
- Check the box next to "Developer" and click "OK".
Step 2: Create a Macro
-
Go to the "Developer" tab and click on the "Visual Basic" button.
-
In the Visual Basic Editor, click on "Insert" > "Module" to insert a new module.
-
Paste the following code into the module:
Sub SendEmail() Dim olApp As Object Dim olMail As Object Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(0) With olMail .To = "[email protected]" .Subject = "Test Email from Excel" .Body = "This is a test email sent from Excel using VBA." .Send End With Set olMail = Nothing Set olApp = Nothing End Sub
Step 3: Run the Macro
-
Go back to the Excel worksheet.
-
Press "Alt + F8" to open the Macro dialog box.
-
Select the "SendEmail" macro and click "Run".
Step 4: Configure the Email Settings
- In the code, you need to replace "[email protected]" with the actual email address you want to send the email to.
- You can also modify the subject and body of the email as needed.
Tips and Variations:
- You can use the
Range
object to select a range of cells and use their values in the email body. - You can use the
Worksheet
object to get the current worksheet and use its properties in the email body. - You can use the
Application
object to get the current application and use its properties in the email body. - You can also use the
Outlook
object model to send emails with attachments, CC, BCC, and more.
Security Note:
- Be careful when sending emails using VBA, as it can be a security risk if not used properly.
- Make sure to test the macro in a controlled environment before sending it to others.
- Consider using a secure email service like Office 365 or Google Workspace to send emails.
