      Excel VBA 101: An Introduction to Automating Tasks and Enhancing Productivity

      MS Office & Applications

      VBA has been in Excel since around 1995. It has helped thousands of organizations improve their productivity since VBA can work several thousands of times faster than a person can. For example, VBA can loop 1 million times in under one second! Excel exists on millions of computers around the world and VBA is used by most organizations. 

      VBA is used in Microsoft Excel to create sophisticated tools that can be used in business, engineering, and science. VBA allows users a level of customization beyond what is typically available in Microsoft Office products, such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Learning VBA programming can help Microsoft Office users access functions beyond what is directly available in the various Office applications.

      VBA is fast. What may take a person hour to do, especially repeatedly, can be done via VBA in seconds, literally? Learning how to use VBA code can be an incredible time-saver.
