Course Description
Using a website has become part of everyday life in both work and play. Many of us spend hours a day scouring the web or filling out tedious forms online for work!
But what if we can automate these processes that steal our precious time away from us? Introducing “Complete Web Automation with Excel VBA” course. In this jam-packed, progressive course, I share over eight hours of secrets to using the popular website testing program called Selenium, ( previously only available using complicated web languages such as JavaScript or PHP). This free tool is now available to all Microsoft Excel users, but there’s very little documentation for how to use it unless you are a web developer.
Throughout the course, I take you through all the undocumented processes, enabling you to locate and interact with any element on a webpage using a variety of strategies, from basic text & attribute searches to Advanced strategies such as XPath, CSS Selectors, and Regular Expression (RegEx) functionalities.
You’ll learn how to fill out web forms dynamically, navigate web pages intuitively, and extract and manipulate data to increase efficiency.
Once you understand how to find an element (or group of elements), you'll learn to evaluate whether elements are hidden, enabled or disabled, visible, selected, checked or unchecked, and then we'll show you how to completely control mouse and keyboard commands and positioning. Then we’ll learn how and when to trigger macros with precision using "Timeouts and Waits"!
In addition to basic navigation, I'll show you how to Open, Access and Toggle multiple tab Windows, how to resize, re-position and auto-scroll your browser window as well as use login techniques with set credentials. You'll be able to deal with pop-ups, alerts, notifications and Frames like an expert. I'll even show you the secrets of controlling the clipboard, saving screenshots to your Excel file or even taking all or parts of online tables into your spreadsheets automatically. Finally, I'll take you through drop down menus and working with list boxes to complete your WebDriver mastery.
The course comes loaded with several examples in each section, including several engaging and challenging exercises to help you solidify what you've learned (with solution videos immediately following).
You’ll receive 100% of the source code, downloadable materials and course workbooks instantly, yours to keep FOREVER. In addition, you’ll receive LIFETIME ACCESS to the course videos, including updates, BONUS videos and lectures as they come out and any future source code and workbooks – Yours to keep – FREE.
All students will receive LIFETIME ACCESS to ask me any questions about the materials in the FORUM section – as well as chat with other students and help each other. As always, this is backed by a 30 day 100% No questions asked refund as well.
So Stop wasting your time with tedious online tasks when you can automate your online workflow Today!

While I appreciate the effort put into preparing this class, I found the teaching style in this course to be rather difficult and unpleasant to get through. Python seems to be a better option than VBA for automating with Selenium, so I wouldn't recommend using VBA for web automation unless you have to.

Excellent course, I really enjoyed it ! I am very happy I've managed to put in practice what I have learned through these lessons and develop a macro that connects to my solar panels and battery storage. I can now automatically force charge my battery from the grid when solar input is low and when variable electricity rates are cheap. It works just fine ! Next step: trying to factor in weather forecast into my code such that the batteries don't charge from the grid (even if electricity rates are low) when it is expected to be sunny the next day. Thanks Dan, that's a very good course

I never used selenium before but the course is showing me how easy it is to use it. I could really follow it and then created my own program to open a webpage, enter something in the textbox and then click on button and then read the page based on my entry. I am still struggling to wait until the page is fully loaded. The wait time varies on different machines.

Best Course For VBA
By Melvin Fine on 10/21/2020
Well done. Each concept explained so well that as early as section 3 I was able to automate a data entry task that has always been very time consuming. To sit back and watch the automation do that tedious task was very rewarding. This was my first Udemy course and I'm all in. Keep up the great work.
