Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is the hidden language of Excel – it can automate and innovate in ways that traditional formulas can’t. But the language can be hard to get used to and is hidden – so join John Tennent as he draws back the curtain and shows you how to get started with this powerful Excel tool.

  • The advantages and disadvantages of using Macros and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) as well as some practical operational implications within an organisation.
  • Demonstrating how to create Macros to automate repetitive tasks for which a limited knowledge of Visual Basic is required.
  • Writing new Functions to speed up coding when building Worksheets
  • Showing how to use Active X controls to create additional functionality.
  • Developing Loops to repeat actions
  • Creating Userforms to build highly controlled user interfaces
