carvetighter / vba-code-library

A series of Visual Basic Applications (VBA) methods I wrote, mostly for Excel, to increase the speed and accuracy in working with data, charts and databases.

VBA-Code-Library

The VBA library is a set of methods that I have used over the years to help me work accurately and efficiently. I inldued the modules so others can use and modify for their own use.

vba-code-library's Issues

Update GitHub language breakdown

Currently, the language breakdown of the repo indicates 100% Visual Basic .Net. That's because the last change made to the repo was done before VBA was added to the Linguist project on GitHub (here).

Normally, any changes (even a space added to the README) would be enough to trigger a new analysis by Linguist of the languages in the repo. So, it would be nice to push a fictitious change so this project can appear correctly labelled as a VBA project when people search on GitHub.

I can always create a PR for this, but I don't think this is worth adding me as a contributor 😅
