Unlike other lecture/theory-based macro courses out there, this is a very hands-on, project based course. Through demonstration, discussion, and plenty of exercises, you’ll learn to automate repetitive tasks in Excel, creating custom buttons that can open complex functionality to less able colleagues – as well as saving you time.
