Unveiling the “VeryHidden” Secret 🧙♂️
Ready to unlock this hidden power? Here’s how:
- Embrace the Developer Tab: Go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon and check the “Developer” box. This unlocks the secret passage to VBA! 🗝️
- Enter the VBA Realm: Click on the Developer tab and then “Visual Basic.” Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds!
- Create Your Secret Code: In the VBA editor, insert a new module and paste the following code:
Sub SetActiveSheetVeryHidden()
