Excel to email

This is great when you have a report you want to email on a regular basis. It is VBA code but you don’t need to know how it works, just how to adapt it to your needs.

First, Open the file you want to send reports from. Copy the code below and then press Alt+F11. This brings up the VBA editor. Paste all the code into a new module. You can run the macro from the Tools menu or create a button to run it.
I have created an example for you to play with. Click on the title above to see all the code.
