Description

Go from Beginner to Microsoft Excel VBA Expert!I'll take you step-by-step through engaging video tutorials and teach you everything you need to know to be able to use VBA to improve your work flow, save time and automate your current Excel projects. What differentiates this course from the other Microsoft Excel VBA & macros courses? It includes:Over 50 Microsoft Excel VBA & macro examples. These are solutions my clients have needed through the years. They are likely to be useful for you too.Using the right VBA syntax is the most difficult part. An important topic which isn't covered enough in other VBA courses. In this course you understand why you write things in certain ways.Create 3 Complete Excel VBA Tools. We go from idea to final product and cover each step.Over 100 pages of documentation (including useful code) so you can easily refer to it when in need.Simple explanations for complex concepts.High quality video and different delivery methods to keep things interesting.Lots of ideas to automate your current tasks.Learn from Google or from this Course?I've been there! I first learnt VBA from Google. It was truly a light-bulb moment, when I realized that Google has some answers - it could give me some of the code I was looking for - but there two things missing:The WHY - why does the code work in one situation but not another.Structure - topic sequence, real-case examples, workbooks, documentation.Don’t waste your timeDon't waste your time on poor quality videos and confusing explanations. In this Excel VBA course, complex topics are taught in a simple way by an instructor with 17 years of experience. The content has been carefully crafted and clearly organized. The videos are high quality and include animations to emphasize points. Most importantly you learn VBA by doing. "I have already tried some VBA classes but so far I was never able to apply what I learnt to my own work. This course is different. I have already used some of the techniques Leila is teaching and applied it to my work files. I was able to reduce manual work for me and my colleagues by creating my own macros from scratch. Highly recommended!!!" – Randy Taylor"Leila is the real deal… there are many VBA courses on Udemy (some of which I've taken) that merely demonstrate the functionalities. Leila explains the important foundation concepts and how the model is set up allowing you to truly create VBA code from thought rather than copying and pasting from various places. Her class is professionally constructed, with resources and content for each lecture, practice content for you to try things yourself and good Q&A opportunities to answer specific questions. Trust me, this is the course you want to take."  – Justin FazzioWhat you can look forward to in this course:Understand how to use the right syntax in VBAUseful Excel VBA codes you can directly use for your workUse the macro recorder for simpler tasks and improve the codeWorking with the Visual Basic EditorDebugging tools and error handling methodsDifferent ways to reference ranges and cellsDifferent methods to loopHow to work with data typesPivotTables in Excel using VBAImporting data from other files and exporting data to text filesInteracting with other applications (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook)ActiveX and Userforms to enhance the Excel interfaceBasically all the knowledge you need to automate tasks in Excel
