You will learn

In this Excel course you will become familiar with the basic programming principles in the Visual Basic for Applications programming language - including the scope for managing the work sheet process by applying your own program routines.

After the course you will be able to:

Work with variables, constants and data types – how to handle values in you code
Using IF-structures and loops, ex when code should be executed and how many times
Access rows in a large range and process values in a desired column
Code up against sheets and workbooks, ex control of sheet- or file names
Code up against cells: Selection of cells, assign/retrieve values, copy/move cells
Build user forms with selections for the code to respond to
Create your own functions - to be able to reuse smart code

In the section, ”Course Details” below, you will find more details about the content of this course in Excel

One of the first things we look at, is the use of Variables, Constants, how they are declared, and how to use them. Both are containers in which you can store a value and which is the basis for subsequent programming. We look at how we test the value of these variables or eg. cells and what needs to be done based on the test.

We look at several types of loops, typically a number of rows to be accessed. Fx. do we want to to run through 10,000 rows, but only want to look at columns 6 and 8 that contain Sales and Profit. And maybe we should use the two values in a calculation and place them in a third column.

In the chapter on the "Most Essential Objects" you learn how to program up against Project folders, Sheets and not least Cells. In Excel, almost everything is done in cells, so you have countless options to "attack" cells via VBA - they are called Methods and Properties.

You will learn to make Userforms, containing Controls like List boxes, Options buttons, Check boxes or Text boxes and then users can make selections using these. Afterwords you can code make code which uses these selections.

The most important thing is that the course lasts 3 days! In order for you to be become independent after the course, it is optimal that you get a lot of time to do exercises and thereby obtain some routine in programming.

Course Details

Recording macros

In this module we learn you the basic recording of macros. What to be aware of before recording and when recording is a big benefit.

The following will be covered:

Relative/absolute recording
Where do you save macros?

Introduction to ribbon, toolbars and icons

In this module you will learn to create shortcuts for easy access to your macros.

The following will be covered:

Creating Macro Shortcuts

The Visual Basic Editor

Here you will learn to create subs and make settings for the VBA editor. And you will learn some tricks when entering code by using Intellisense for the different objects.

The following will be covered:

Creating Subs
Options for the editor
Using Intellisense

Variables and data types

In this module you will learn about dimensioning variables by using different data types. Where can the different variables be accessed from and what is the life time of a variable?

The following will be covered:

Declaring variables
Local variables - module variables - global variables
Constants
Object variables - converting variables
Naming conventions

Simple dialogues

We will learn you about the most common dialogues you can use when you are communicating with the user. It could be everything from a simple message to the user to receiving an input from the user.

The following will be covered:

The MsgBox Command
The InputBox Function
MsgBox Functions

Control structures

In this module you will learn about conditional structures, which is a comparison of values, resulting the code to go in one or another direction. Which lines of code should run now? Often are the lines of code, to be executed, the same over and over again, and for this purpose you could use a loop structure. A loop structure can run through a lot of rows, cells, or sheets.

The following will be covered:

Statements (If-Then-Else and Select Case)
Loops (Do-Loop, Do-While and For-Next)

Splitting codes into sub-routines

We will illustrate the ability to reuse your code. This can be done by placing the code in a sub, as a sub can be called many times. In order to make these calls more versatile you can pass arguments to the sub and these arguments can be used for calculations or getting the sub to respond to the input.

The following will be covered:

Calling a sub from another sub-routine
Calling a sub from another sub-routine with arguments

Formulas

In this module, you can try out a lot of the most commonly used controls in a Userform. You’ll be told the main purpose for Userforms and how to use events on controls- and Userform.

The following will be covered:

Designing your own dialogues with labels, text boxes, combo boxes, check boxes, etc.
Scope of Application
Using events

The most essential excel objects

In this module, you’ll get your hands on the most commonly used objects, which Excel offers. The individual objects that you must learn to code up against, have a lot of methods and properties, which are a challeging to control.

The following will be covered:

Application
Workbook, ActiveWorkbook, ThisWorkbook
Worksheet, ActiveSheet
Range – Select – Address
Offset
Cells, Rows, Columns

Events for the Excel File

Here we set focus on the automatic events which occur, when you for example open or close a work book, activate a worksheet or click on or change a value for a cell.

The following will be covered:

Workbook open – Workbook deactivate – Workbook activate – Worksheet activate

Functions

In this module you will learn how to create your own functions. Excel offers a lot of build-in functions, but you can relatively easily create your own and apply them in your worksheet or in the VBA environment.

The following will be covered:

Declaring functions
Applying functions in the Excel worksheet

Arrays

In this module you are introduced to a multidimensional variable also called an Array. It will be explained why you might want to use this structure of a variable.

The following will be covered:

Declaring Arrays
How to Redim in Array
Using Arrays

Simple Error Management

In this module you are explained what can potentially make your code crash. You do not want the end user of your macros to end inside the Visual Basic environment with a mysterious error message. This you can manage!

The following will be covered:
