Thank you Noorain for sharing those. I just started reading through "50 Excel VBA Oral Questions." and the Q & As seem good, but not all the answers are complete and thorough, and some could be misleading.
For example: "Ques 06. Difference between ActiveX and Form Controls. Solution: i) Forms controls can be used on worksheets and chart sheets. Forms controls can also be placed within embedded charts in Classic Excel (though not in Excel 2007). ActiveX controls can only be used on worksheets. ActiveX controls do not work in MacExcel. ii) The Forms controls aren't very complicated, and they have been part of Excel for longer (they were used in Excel 5/95's dialog sheets) than the Controls Toolbox (Excel 97), so it stands to reason that they'd be more seamlessly integrated. Being newer, the ActiveX controls have richer formatting possibilities. Both can link to cells and ranges in the worksheet." Especially since the file has "VBA" in the title, I would say the answer is incorrect or at least incomplete. Form controls can be used on worksheet and chart sheets (and ancient XLM macro sheets and dialog sheets). Correct enough. BUT ActiveX controls are used on both Worksheets and VBA UserForms (with more complete, and more reliable, support on UserForms). "Ques 07. What is the difference b/w Functions and Subroutines? Solution: i) Subroutines never return a value but functions does return values. ii) A function could not change the values of actual arguments whereas a subroutine could change them." Re. ii: Well, a function can modify its arguments if they were passed ByRef (which is default), exactly as a subroutine can. Not that I recommend it. Use functions as functions and subs as subs :) Ques 13. Which are the 2 macro languages and which do you use ? Solution: XLM (used in Excel 97 or before) and VBA(used for 2000 and after). Obviously, VBA is in use these days. Actually, Excel first included XLM macros in version 3 (1990). It was the only macro language available until version 5 in 1993, when Excel first included VBA! "Ques 31. Give technical reasons which made Microsoft withdraw its support for VBA in Mac? Solution: The reasons which made Microsoft drop its support to VBA are as follows, Microsoft visual basic relies heavily on machine code which was written for Power PC architecture. Also it would take another two years for developing VBA support for its architecture. It also states that Microsoft will incorporate VBA in the next script of office release for Mac." Sounds true-- but outdated. Office for Mac 2011 includes VBA support again. In any case, the Q & A isn't always exactly "right" -- in my opinion sometimes omitting essential information -- but still demonstrates a good, and broad, knowledge of Excel. Many answers are really excellent, but don't take any one source like this by rote. Your potential employer might not be impressed with every answer!
