Pros
Cons
-
- Course offers a less-frequently-covered approach to utilizing Excel. While many courses briefly touch on VBA, very few are designed exclusively to instruct in this application of Excel.
- Course focuses more on coding than most Excel tutorials and offers a much deeper understanding of how to manipulate Excel to perform tasks.
- Introductory approach to VBA does not require extensive background knowledge to succeed.
-
- Curriculum was originally designed with older versions of Excel. While updates have been applied, some changes to newer versions slipped through the cracks.
- VBA focus does not include typical Excel instruction. If you're looking for a basic overview of all Excel features, you won't find it here.
