Excel Time-Saving Macros Made Easy – July 2023

Description

$130 (per person) includes an online webinar for 2 hours of CPE credit

Excel macros can help to streamline and automate tasks that are routine and time-consuming.

In this webinar, you will start by learning how to create a basic macro in Excel to perform formatting of a spreadsheet.

We will then talk about VBA (the programming language for Excel) and how to use Microsoft Help topics to create commands and micros using VBA.

Then we will create a macro that creates a chart and another macro that imports a text file.

We will also talk about how absolute versus relative references in a macro – and a lot more cool and useful things about Excel macros.

This webinar will be a hands-on workshop where you can try out the macros as we demonstrate them. By the end of the webinar, you will know how to use macros to make your work in Excel more automated, and therefore faster and a little more fun!

This webinar is designed for Excel for Windows users because much of the macro and VBA functionality is not available in Excel for Mac.

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Record a macro to automate routine tasks
• Assign a macro to a button in Excel
• Create macros in Excel using VBA
