Course Description
Developer tools in Microsoft Office give you the functionality to create custom applications in Excel. These tools require Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The developer can create custom spreadsheets, workbooks, controls, and even toolbar add-ins for users.
Visual Basic is a specific Microsoft language, so it integrates into any Microsoft productivity tool. This course focuses on Excel customizations and applications. To create these customizations, you first need to learn macros and what they can do for your projects. We then go into modules and custom coded macros. Visual Basic is an object-oriented language, so we show you how to create custom classes that plug into your Excel modules.
This course not only focuses on Visual Basic syntax, but we also focus on working with classes, properties and methods specific to the Visual Basic version for Excel. We show you how to data mine from external source, connect to databases, and even scrape Internet content to include in a local spreadsheet.
We also work with pivot tables, charts and graphs that you can automatically draw and render within an Excel spreadsheet. Later chapters include instructions and tutorials on sparklines and working with external files. We help you develop skills in error handling to provide better ways to work with errors in your code.
Whether you're new to Excel or just new to the Visual Basic for Application language, this course will help you develop the skills necessary to build custom applications that work with a variety of industries and complex business scenarios.
