Overview

VBA, or Visual Basic for Applications, is like Excel on steroids. As an advanced feature, it can seem intimidating at first. But with just a little VBA knowledge you?ll be able to automate tasks in Excel and turbocharge your data handling capabilities. We?ll take you from beginner to advanced user in just a few hours on this online video training course.

Most office staff can use Excel to a basic level for data entry, to format cells, even to use a basic PivotTable. But few make it to the next level, to be able to build models, conduct scenario analyses, apply checks to flag errors, create a dashboard or format to a client-ready standard.
