<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of how macros and user-defined functions can be recorded and edited, or written directly in Visual Basic. &lt;br /&gt;By the end of the course, delegates will be able to create effective macros to automate many aspects of Excel and produce sophisticated spreadsheet based applications. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Designed for: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The course is suitable for delegates with a good understanding of Excel, especially the use of formulae and functions, multiple worksheets and Range Names. Ability to use a modern programming language, including an understanding of variables, arrays, loops and decision structures, will be an advantage, though is not essential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Creating complex workbooks that can be used effectively by people other than the designer is not a simple task. Excel macros, written in Visual Basic, offer the possibility of automating and simplifying the use of such workbooks, enabling users to remain focussed on the business needs and results, rather than the technical details of how the workbook operates. &lt;br /&gt;The first part of the course focuses on the essential knowledge required to create and use macros and functions to automate many aspects of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;The remainder explores the use of Visual Basic with Excel in more depth and shows how it can be used to build sophisticated and tightly controlled applications that can be operated effectively by users with relatively little knowledge of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of how macros and user-defined functions can be recorded and edited, or written directly in Visual Basic. &lt;br /&gt;By the end of the course, delegates will be able to create effective macros to automate many aspects of Excel and produce sophisticated spreadsheet based applications. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Designed for: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The course is suitable for delegates with a good understanding of Excel, especially the use of formulae and functions, multiple worksheets and Range Names. Ability to use a modern programming language, including an understanding of variables, arrays, loops and decision structures, will be an advantage, though is not essential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Creating complex workbooks that can be used effectively by people other than the designer is not a simple task. Excel macros, written in Visual Basic, offer the possibility of automating and simplifying the use of such workbooks, enabling users to remain focussed on the business needs and results, rather than the technical details of how the workbook operates. &lt;br /&gt;The first part of the course focuses on the essential knowledge required to create and use macros and functions to automate many aspects of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;The remainder explores the use of Visual Basic with Excel in more depth and shows how it can be used to build sophisticated and tightly controlled applications that can be operated effectively by users with relatively little knowledge of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Recording and Running Macros Controls on Worksheets &lt;/li&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of how macros and user-defined functions can be recorded and edited, or written directly in Visual Basic. &lt;br /&gt;By the end of the course, delegates will be able to create effective macros to automate many aspects of Excel and produce sophisticated spreadsheet based applications. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Designed for: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The course is suitable for delegates with a good understanding of Excel, especially the use of formulae and functions, multiple worksheets and Range Names. Ability to use a modern programming language, including an understanding of variables, arrays, loops and decision structures, will be an advantage, though is not essential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Creating complex workbooks that can be used effectively by people other than the designer is not a simple task. Excel macros, written in Visual Basic, offer the possibility of automating and simplifying the use of such workbooks, enabling users to remain focussed on the business needs and results, rather than the technical details of how the workbook operates. &lt;br /&gt;The first part of the course focuses on the essential knowledge required to create and use macros and functions to automate many aspects of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;The remainder explores the use of Visual Basic with Excel in more depth and shows how it can be used to build sophisticated and tightly controlled applications that can be operated effectively by users with relatively little knowledge of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of how macros and user-defined functions can be recorded and edited, or written directly in Visual Basic. &lt;br /&gt;By the end of the course, delegates will be able to create effective macros to automate many aspects of Excel and produce sophisticated spreadsheet based applications. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Designed for: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The course is suitable for delegates with a good understanding of Excel, especially the use of formulae and functions, multiple worksheets and Range Names. Ability to use a modern programming language, including an understanding of variables, arrays, loops and decision structures, will be an advantage, though is not essential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Creating complex workbooks that can be used effectively by people other than the designer is not a simple task. Excel macros, written in Visual Basic, offer the possibility of automating and simplifying the use of such workbooks, enabling users to remain focussed on the business needs and results, rather than the technical details of how the workbook operates. &lt;br /&gt;The first part of the course focuses on the essential knowledge required to create and use macros and functions to automate many aspects of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;The remainder explores the use of Visual Basic with Excel in more depth and shows how it can be used to build sophisticated and tightly controlled applications that can be operated effectively by users with relatively little knowledge of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Recording and Running Macros Controls on Worksheets &lt;/li&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of how macros and user-defined functions can be recorded and edited, or written directly in Visual Basic. &lt;br /&gt;By the end of the course, delegates will be able to create effective macros to automate many aspects of Excel and produce sophisticated spreadsheet based applications. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Designed for: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The course is suitable for delegates with a good understanding of Excel, especially the use of formulae and functions, multiple worksheets and Range Names. Ability to use a modern programming language, including an understanding of variables, arrays, loops and decision structures, will be an advantage, though is not essential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Creating complex workbooks that can be used effectively by people other than the designer is not a simple task. Excel macros, written in Visual Basic, offer the possibility of automating and simplifying the use of such workbooks, enabling users to remain focussed on the business needs and results, rather than the technical details of how the workbook operates. &lt;br /&gt;The first part of the course focuses on the essential knowledge required to create and use macros and functions to automate many aspects of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;The remainder explores the use of Visual Basic with Excel in more depth and shows how it can be used to build sophisticated and tightly controlled applications that can be operated effectively by users with relatively little knowledge of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Recording and Running Macros Controls on Worksheets &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Programming Techniques The Excel Object Model &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Variables and Built in Functions Workbook and Worksheet Events &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Functions and Subroutines Application Design Issues &lt;/li&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of how macros and user-defined functions can be recorded and edited, or written directly in Visual Basic. &lt;br /&gt;By the end of the course, delegates will be able to create effective macros to automate many aspects of Excel and produce sophisticated spreadsheet based applications. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Designed for: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The course is suitable for delegates with a good understanding of Excel, especially the use of formulae and functions, multiple worksheets and Range Names. Ability to use a modern programming language, including an understanding of variables, arrays, loops and decision structures, will be an advantage, though is not essential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Creating complex workbooks that can be used effectively by people other than the designer is not a simple task. Excel macros, written in Visual Basic, offer the possibility of automating and simplifying the use of such workbooks, enabling users to remain focussed on the business needs and results, rather than the technical details of how the workbook operates. &lt;br /&gt;The first part of the course focuses on the essential knowledge required to create and use macros and functions to automate many aspects of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;The remainder explores the use of Visual Basic with Excel in more depth and shows how it can be used to build sophisticated and tightly controlled applications that can be operated effectively by users with relatively little knowledge of Excel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
