Overview of the webinar

VBA is the programming language that is built in to Excel (and the other applications in the MS Office Suite). VBA is used to automate tasks that would otherwise have to be performed manually by pressing keys and selecting items with the mouse -  and if that sounds like a macro - well it is. 
Although Excel has a macro recorder, there's a limit to what it can do. So where the macro recorder's functionality ends, VBA takes over. At a more advanced level, VBA enables you to, amongst other things, build your own worksheet functions, create automated workflows and control and interact with other applications.   
This webinar is aimed at advanced users of Excel, with little or no programming experience, who wish to "dip their toe into the VBA water".
