Thank You for allowing me to take on your course Paul you are a wonderful Instructor leading the way of learning so much about VBA Macros.
Learning how to build a VBA application from start to finish, tips on reducing my errors to make my code more organized on maintaining and updating. I discovered using 4 loops and how to use the compiler to check for errors before you run followed by the value of the letter I entering the loop. There are over 70 Macro examples to play around with and use for in projects and to be sure is the Developer tab is visible.
Thanks for taking the extra time on sharing when and why to use Arrays which is important and helpful on saving time, while bringing up the shortcut needing to create Macros in a new workbook.
This course I highly recommend to everyone.
Thank You,
Tina Graham

I didn't expect this. I try and give a chance, but the course is not as the title says, "How to write macros like professional.".
This course is for beginners, and there is nothing professional in this course. Some codes are not working, and we have corrupted documents.
