Mastering EXCEL Macros
Save Time by Automating Repetitive Tasks with Simple-to-Use Macros
Do you find yourself repeating the same click-click-click sequence of keystrokes over and over again when you're working on spreadsheets?
If you do, you've probably also found that using multiple keystrokes opens yourself up to slip-and-click errors that consume even more of your time … or cause embarrassing gotchas!
This interactive 90-minute webinar explores the rationale and techniques for using macros in Excel to eliminate repetitive command sequences, automate your work, and use Excel more efficiently.
A macro is Excel's automation tool. As you work with this powerful software, you often find yourself performing the same tasks repeatedly. If you regularly update sales figures, plot data on a chart, or apply special formats, you may find yourself repeating the same sequence of commands and actions.
With a macro, you can store these sets of procedures and avoid having to repeat the entire sequence of actions each time you need to perform them. You can also easily activate them with a keystroke combination, a toolbar button, or an on-screen pointer.
The result is that you'll save a good deal of time and effort and improve accuracy by creating macros.
How You Will Benefit
After completing this course, you will be able to demonstrate a working knowledge of creating Excel macros to reduce keystrokes when analyzing and manipulating complex data in spreadsheets.
