Excel Intro to VBA Macros
Build practical, job-ready Excel skills with hands-on, instructor-led training focused on real business tasks.
Course objective
Excel Macros can be used to automate redundant tasks. In this class you will learn to integrate recorded macros with VBA code. Not only will you be recording macros, but you will also be working with and writing visual basic code. By the end of class, you should find that with some basic VBA techniques, you can make macros do some pretty amazing things. The follow-up course Advanced VBA Macros is also available.
Prerequisites
To ensure your success, we recommend that you have experience with basic macros, intermediate level formulas, charting, and data management tools such as sorting and filtering. Students can obtain this level of skill through our Level 1, 2 and 3 courses. You should also be aware that our VBA classes are somewhat technical in nature since they involve programming. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us to discuss if this level is right for you.
