Wed 22nd August 2007
Even people who are experts at using Microsoft Excel don't often venture into the area of macros. Those that do are often satisfied with simple recorded macros and never look at the code that makes them work. "I'm an accountant not a programmer," is the common feeling.
Don't limit your Excel training. Excel VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the language of macros, is a programming language that many non-programmers have embraced and become quite skilled at. Take a look at some of the features of this simple yet powerful language.

Testimonials
Benefacto Membership Executive Rebecca Kuye Customer Service Excellence
I really enjoyed the training, Alison introduced me to new topics I hadn’t thought about and reignited thoughts and skills I’ve studied/ learnt in other training sessions but never actually applied, or applied for a short while but didn’t think about how I could also apply it to my work life. I definitely feel as if I’ve learnt so much today, how to be assertiveness, listen attentively and provide good customer service, I’ve gained some action steps and will definitely apply these straight away. It’s been great and Alison has been very inspiring .
