I just wrote a Visual Basic program to help me with my data analysis. How quantitative is that 😉

I’m picking out words and phrases in my data which are likely to be indicative of the appropriate coding, then I’m inserting a note by them with a suggested coding. It would be better if I could highlight the text in some way – underline it, or make it blue, but I couldn’t work out how to make Visual Basic do that for me.

Also, it’s an extraordinarily long program for what it does. It doesn’t have the elegance of a programmer who knows how to loop their program up tidily into sub-routines. Still, it functions. I can always learn a bit more later.
