Anything that can be done in Excel can be automated with VBA!

This is a beginner’s most important roadmap to Excel VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) automation. This course is like a passport. You need this passport before you can embark on your Excel VBA automation journey. This course by Advanced Learning Singapore covers Excel VBA from the most important ground up beginning with the fundamentals to prepare you to advanced topics.

Excel is the world’s most popular spreadsheet software and with the combination of VBA, it is probably the most powerful tool in the world. So, what is the difference between Excel and VBA? Besides automating, another important difference between Excel and VBA is iteration (looping). VBA allows you to iterate a task while Excel does not.

If you are a frequent Excel user, even if you know all the great features in Excel, you may still find yourself taking an extensive amount of time doing repetitive tasks manually such as, updating and cleaning data or comparing update workbook to master workbook changes or going through multiple steps/clicks in order to achieve the desired results, etc.

Take for example, you may spend more than 6 hours updating a set of data with 5000 records manually with potential human error, but with Excel VBA, you can complete updating these 5000 records in less than 20 minutes without error (depending on the number of updates and records). Excel VBA helps you remove workflow redundancy and eliminate human errors by automating the action and accelerating your productivity drastically!

Given the fast-paced of technology innovation and increasing automation trend, don’t you think your time should be better spent on complex and core duties of your job?
