Looking For Free Visual Basic Compiler

Question

_{Monday, March 25, 2019 4:25 PM}

I have done some MS Excel Visual Basic development for specific audit report writer projects.  Now semi-retired I have some hobby project issues that Visual Basic probably would solve for me.  I don't want to have to load Excel every time and would like to have some sort of compiled language program or app for my Windows 10 PC needs.  That lead me to search for free VB compilers.  I found a website in a Google search and ended-up at MS Visual Studio.  I installed it as it looks like a good editor.  My question is, can it compile Visual Basic code and if not can someone point me in the right direction, please.
