Excel Programming with VBA
Duration:
2 Days
Course Overview:
Do your spreadsheets have code behind them? Has the person maintaining that code moved on to a new position, and now you have 'inherited' code you do not understand? While your job description may not be 'programmer', you may still have programming duties. Are you looking to extend or automate processes that Excel cannot do out-of-the-box? If so, this course will provide basic skills necessary to create, modify, and edit code. Learn how to manipulate workbooks, worksheets, and cells. Create custom functions and sophisticated user forms, and learn how to troubleshoot existing code.
Audience:
This class is for business workers or IT professionals looking to automate repetitive processes, create custom user interfaces, and troubleshoot recorded macros. This class is also for those who would like an introduction into basic programming skills.
This course is suited for those using Microsoft Excel 2007 and 2010. This course will be taught using Microsoft Excel 2010.
Prerequisites:
Proficient knowledge of Microsoft Excel. Knowledge of PivotTables is helpful, but not required.
