Complex stuff in a few lines of code  get it now

This section is going to cover how to do complex stuff in just a few lines, mainly using the classes and modules you can find in the cDataSet.xlsm (or the Google Apps Version), which you can download here. In many cases you may not actually be using these classes, just leveraging some of their inbuilt properties and methods. They probably wont be exactly ‘one liners’, but pretty close.

 

References

You may need some additional VBA references, all of which are defined in the cDataSet.xlsm file. If you use that, all the references are already defined.
