What is VBA Programming in Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool that you can use to manipulate, analyze, and present data. Built within Excel is a computer programming language called VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). The idea is by writing a VBA computer program, you can instruct Microsoft Excel to perform complex, repetitive and even mundane tasks on your behalf. Used properly on suitable problems, a VBA program working within Excel can have wide ranging automation benefits that can increase a department’s productivity. As machine automation begins to take over many human tasks, learning how to code has been said to be an attractive employability skill for the future.

What this is about

Designed for non VBA computer programmers. This is a short & easy-to-follow workshop to develop a practical knowledge of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) with Microsoft Excel. This 3-days workshop is suitable for users of Excel 2002 through Excel 2016. The participant will learn how to build VBA programs from scratch that can automate Microsoft Excel to perform work. Throughout the course of the workshop, our facilitator incorporates VBA codes which address real life business problems.

What problems it solve

“hi Derek, just wanted to say – this week I spent a couple days working on the VBA and managed to automate pretty much all of the processes that I asked for help with (the charts, tables, etc), using reference to your lastrow solution and other hacks from the classes and online. Thanks so much again for the classes – really enjoyed them…

Wilson Remot, Account Manager, VISA Inc.

“I must say that this is one of the best workshops that I have attended. Eventhough the course is for Basic VBA, I see that some advance tips were shared during the class. A lot of best pratices were shared by Derek which helps solve problems encountered at work. Derek as instructor is really exceptional. He was very lively from morning to afternoon. He was knowledgeable in the subject matter and was patient with his students. He was even willing to help out in my current project! Plus points for the classroom setting. It was very conducive for learning. And you can have all the coffee that you want-what more can I say! Aeternus consulting should be the premiere center for all your MS Office needs. Two thumbs up!
