This course provides a practical introduction to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and the Visual Basic Editor (VBE), with Microsoft Excel used as the primary environment for learning and exercises.

Participants will learn how to record, modify, and create macros, as well as how to write VBA procedures using objects, variables, functions, conditions, and loops. The course also introduces event-driven programming, UserForms, debugging techniques, and structured error handling.

The training is suitable for users working with different versions of Microsoft Office, including Microsoft 365, as the fundamental VBA concepts and programming techniques remain largely consistent across versions.

For corporate groups, we can organize this training as an on-site private group.
