Overview of the webinar

You’ll learn the basics of how to use macros—one of Excel’s most powerful features—in this live webcast presented by Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA. He introduces Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which enables you to create time-saving macros and allows you to automate procedures commonly performed in Excel. David also explains how to use Excel’s Record Macro feature, Personal Macro Workbook, and more. After participating in this comprehensive session, you’ll be equipped to use macros immediately to speed up your work in Excel.

Who should attend?

Practitioners seeking to understand the concept of macros and gaining experience with VBA macros and the Record Macro feature.

Why should you attend?

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
