Description

Ever wanted to impress work colleagues with a user interface for your Excel documents? This free course walks you through the simple steps to achieve this.

Now is your chance to shortcut the long and tricky tutorials online, simply follow along with a basic worked example and learn how you can setup your own user interface form in Excel.

This course does not require any prior coding skills, you will need access to a computer running Microsoft Excel. You will also need to actually follow along and try out what you learn in order to get maximum value from this fantastic free course!

Craig has been working with Excel for well over a decade. He started out automating tasks for senior colleagues as a student using simple macro recorders, since that point he has never stopped using and learning what Excel can do to make his life easier.

A word of warning, although the course is delivered in 30 minutes, beginners will need to go back and re-watch the lessons presented in this course, as well as ask questions to the instructor – Craig. Learning a new skill is never easy, you didn’t learn to speak your native tongue in 30 minutes, and neither will you learn to code in 30 minutes- no matter how good the course is!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners and Intermediate Excel users looking to learn VBA to automate their workflow
