Use the macro recording function to find out what methods are happening when you make changes to an Excel document. Otherwise you need to think of an automated task and then Google Doing x italic and y italic in VBA. Youre not going to learn italic anything fast but you can probably get a bulk of stuff done by hacking your way through it. Any coding or console language is not as simple as using a GUI like Excel does. It needs time willingness and dedication. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. VBA is however quite easy to learn if you are very experienced with how Excel works. You can make the s between what a macro does and what is going on in the Excel document manually. It also has excellent debugging and step-through functionality so you can step through your code manually and look at what is going on.
