Overview
Excel's macro recorder can automate simple tasks, but it has limits. Where the recorder stops, VBA takes over, letting you automate almost anything you do in Excel. This 90-minute Excel VBA basics training shows how to move beyond recorded macros, using Excel 2010 to 2016.
You'll write a simple macro from scratch in VBA, learn what variables are and how to use them, use loops to create efficient, time-saving code, and apply logic to procedures with the IF statement.
The session also shows how this event-driven programming language can control user interface features such as menus and toolbars, custom user forms and dialog boxes.
Why attend: Once you've mastered Excel's basics, VBA lets you use its more dynamic features and save time for yourself and your customers by automating Excel-based tasks and processes. This session suits executives, executive assistants, accountants, CPAs, bookkeepers, finance professionals, business analysts, administrators, office managers, attorneys and HR professionals.
