If you repeat the same steps in your spreadsheets, it's time to automate them. VBA is the programming language built into Excel and the other Microsoft Office apps, and it automates tasks you'd otherwise do by hand with keys and the mouse.
Excel's macro recorder can only go so far, and VBA picks up where it stops. At more advanced levels it lets you build your own worksheet functions, create automated workflows and control other applications. This 90-minute Excel VBA training gets you started.
You'll get familiar with the VBA Editor and its jargon, edit an existing macro, write a simple macro from scratch, add inline documentation and run code when a file opens or closes.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
VBA is a core skill for Excel power users and can save you, your colleagues and your customers hours by automating Excel-based tasks and processes.
The webinar is aimed at advanced Excel users with little or no programming experience who want to go beyond the macro recorder. It is delivered in the latest Excel for Windows, though much of it applies to earlier versions.
