Please be informed that in view of the current COVID-19 situation, we will be changing the format of this course into a Live Webinar. A detailed set of instructions on the Live Webinar will also be sent to you closer to date. Please sign up for a Zoom account (https://zoom.us/) if you currently do not have an account.
Notice
As this class places strong emphasis on the hands-on experience, you will be working with data for the majority of the time in the class. To optimize the learning experience, it is mandatory for all participants to be equipped with a laptop, pre-installed with either Microsoft Excel 2010, 2013, 2016 (full licence) or any latest version. If you have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, you will need to have a locally installed Excel 365 application in your PC or laptop. Macros cannot be executed when the workbook containing them is opened in Excel online. Also, kindly note that Mac Excel version has limited Excel functionality.
Programme Objective
This one-day training programme is an intensive macro programming course, designed as a follow-up to course IT036: An Introduction to Excel Macros for Accounting and Finance Professionals. Participants must have basic to intermediate level of Excel experience as a prerequisite. In addition, they must have either attended course IT036 OR have some experience in writing macros to fully benefit from this course. Course participants will learn the crucial aspects of writing macros for dynamic spreadsheet data processing.
Programme Outline
- 3 Components of Macros
- This introductory chapter elaborates the role played by the 3 components of macro: knowledge of Excel features, Objects and VBA.
- Data Manipulation with Range Object and VBA
- This chapter explores selected methods and properties of the Range object that can be used for spreadsheet data manipulation without having to code entirely from scratch.
- Developing Dynamic Macros with VBA
- VBA transforms a macro into a dynamic piece of code through the use of variables, functions, control-of-flow statements. This chapter provides scenarios on the use of VBA constructs for data manipulation.
- Managing Data with Worksheet and Workbook Objects
- Macros are more often used to extract data from or copy to different worksheets and workbooks. To make it more complicated, data may come from various sources and format like CSV, XML or even databases. This chapter provides several scenarios of writing macros to deal with diverse sources of data.
- Code Debugging
- Code debugging is an essential part of any programming task. This chapter explores and demonstrates the use of several debugging tools available within the Visual Basic integrated development environment to fix errors.
