Enspire Training CourseProgramming and Data Wrangling with VBA and Excel

This 3-day instructor-led course enables participants to enhance and extend the capabilities of Microsoft Excel® and other applications in the Microsoft Office application suite.

This course will give participants a good foundation for understanding, creating and using VBA in your own Excel workbooks, showing you how to work with data across different applications, and how to package the macros and functions so they can be backed up, moved to other computers and shared with other users.
