Course Description

Under the hood of Excel, beyond the standard formulas and user interface tools that you see on a daily basis, lurks Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), an incredibly powerful magic that many would only dream of harnessing. It is the magic of automation and can save you from ever suffering a repetitive task again. Those who have heard of VBA, yet not stepped onto the path of greater learning, often assume that it is too difficult to learn. Once they finally dedicate themselves to taking that journey, they are amazed to learn that this is not the case.

This VBA course takes someone from no coding experience to understanding VBA fundamentals. The course will teach the concepts the way an accountant understands them, hitting on the hurdles and pitfalls that creep up along the way, and with examples that are accounting focused. The focus of the seminar is on program writing, not on the use of the application.
