This course is intended for
This course is primarily designed for students who want to gain the skills
necessary to use VBA to automate tasks in Excel such as collecting data from
external sources, cleaning, and manipulating data. The target student may also
want to learn how to create custom worksheet functions to streamline worksheet
formulas and make complex worksheets easier to support, maintain, and
understand.
Overview
Identify general components of VBA and their appropriate use in solving business
solutions. Record VBA macros to automate repetitive tasks. Write VBA code to
create VBA subroutines and functions. Use various programming elements to solve
problems through code, including variables,objects, conditional statements, and
loops. Eliminate, avoid, or handle errors in VBA code, and optimize its
performance.
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) enables you to enhance and extend the
capabilities of Microsoft Excel and other applications in the Microsoft 365
application suite. You can use VBA to perform tasks that would be difficult or
impossible to do using only worksheet functions, and you can automate a wide
range of tasks so they can be performed faster, more consistently, and with less
effort than performing them manually. This course will give you a good
foundation for understanding, creating, and using VBA in your own Excel
workbooks. You will learn how to use the macro recorder effectively, as well as
how to write your own VBA code from scratch. You will use tools built into Excel
to explore and learn VBA's capabilities and to optimize and debug your code.
Prerequisites
