Frequently Asked Questions

  • Save time + money commuting
  • Learn more and pay less, a better value
  • More time for practice (aka homework)
  • Weekly Q&A session.
  • Live instruction includes recorded videos
  • The 32 hour class covers VBA Programming from A-Z so you can become a master.
  • What types of programs will I learn to create?
    The class teaches several algorithms, approaches to solving problems with programming. Before you can use VBA to reconcile two workbooks you need to learn a few programming fundamentals. Fundamental algorithms include:
    How to find the last row/column of data in a range.
    How to locate key columns and use named ranges.
    How to loop through a scenario.
    How to read and write from/to cells (internal) and databases (external).
    How to loop from row to row, sheet to sheet and workbook to workbook and process data with functions.
    How to reconcile data between two workbooks.
    How to communicate while a program is running and accept inputs with message boxes, input boxes and user forms.
    How to debug programs and handle errors gracefully.
    How to manage PivotTable reports.
    How to communicate with web browsers, Word, PowerPoint, and Access.
  • See the outline of topics below – or download a PDF.

In order to succeed in this class you will need:

  • A computer with Excel installed;
  • Knowledge of topics from the Excel Online course;
  • VBA requires you to type – alot. You should be able to type at least 20 words per minute – with reasonable accuracy – or learning to program will be difficult.
  • Optionally: A second monitor – one to use during class, another to watch the instructors screen (could be a phone or tablet)
