Automating with VBA in Excel

Save yourself time and effort by automating with VBA in Excel.

Do you find yourself having to calculate things repeatedly in Excel, find yourself clicking the same cells over & over, and having to copy and paste values time and again? Do you have multiple steps you have to do to update a monthly or weekly report, with what you think is too much effort on your part? Learn how to automate with Excel VBA and save yourself time and effort.

In this webinar, we will be reviewing the learning objectives listed below in addition to how you can make your VBA code run faster, how to notify the user as to how far execution has gone, and additional tips and resources for further developing your VBA knowledge.

Learning Objectives Include:

Assuming no programming experience on the part of the participant, we'll look at various ways you can use VBA to:

  • Use the macro recorder, plus some alterations, to automate simple tasks
  • Loop through all rows or columns on a sheet to make changes
  • Open, alter, save, and close files
  • Copy and/or add sheets to your spreadsheet
  • Have certain actions performed when you open a file, or right before you close it

Who Should Attend This Webinar:

  • Any Actuary or Financial Professional seeking to improve their use of VBA in Excel
