Excel 2019/365 – Macro

Do you want to save time on routine tasks in Microsoft Excel? Macros are the answer. In this course the instructor explains how macros can be used to automate tasks in Excel, and how you can create simple macros yourself. You will learn when and how to record a macro step-by-step, share macros between workbooks, set up keyboard shortcuts to execute macros quickly, and use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to code macros that cannot be recorded.
