In recent year, many research groups have been developing spreadsheet program for physics teaching. For example it used to solve Laplace equation1, to visualize potential surface2, and to animate physical contents3. Because Microsoft Excel program is easy to learn, it can apply to many physics problem. And Microsoft® Excel has a Visual Basics for Applications (VBA). ExcelVBA is user-friendly programming tool. Using Excel-VBA and operation with cells, we develop kinds of program about simple harmonic motion, pendulum, satellite orbit, diffraction and so on. We also taught undergraduate students how to program about physics contents using Excel-VBA. We will discuss its’ effect and student’s response.
