Excel Macros VBA Training Courses – Online or Face to Face

Duration: 1 Day

Course Objective:

Being able to create macros and VBA routines changes your attitude to Excel from ‘can the program do this?’ to ‘this is what I need to do, how can I go about it?’ Creating macros can extend the functionality of Excel; allow users of VBA to create their own custom Excel functions and reduce work which normally takes several minutes or longer down to a single button click. This course represents an excellent introduction to programming as the software itself writes much of the program code. This one-day course provides enough grounding for the delegate to write useful macros and also acts as a solid basis for further learning.
