Hi there,

Does anyone know of any programs that are being offered during the summer that teach VBA/Excel coding. My co-op term kind of demands it, and they're holding back in giving me work because i know very little coding. Do you guys know of any places that do teach it, and well? I'd like to keep the cost <$500 preferrably, but any considerations/recommendations will be taken into account!

Cheers! Back to work.
Nomad.

MGIS 559 is offered at U of C, but not until Fall.

What specifically do you need to learn how to do?

What is your experience with coding? If you know even basic VB you should be able to get by with VBA.

Google is your friend

Hmmm, the tutorial site I was going to recommend is a paid subscription place...
anyhow, lynda.com might be worth it.

I learned VBA from just online tutorials. I did take a course in C++ though. Once you know the logic behind programming, the syntax isn't all that hard to learn.

It would be considered an asset to have VBA coding experience, and i just want to get a better understanding of it. I'm in a project management/project controls line of work, so being able to pump through a lot of data would be a whole lot easier with VBA coding knowledge


Silver - I have little to no VBA coding experience, but i'd really like to learn.

gaijin/realazy - I have found this one site functionx.com...don't know, what are your thoughts? :dunno:
