Course Description

Review of the Windows version:

"This is a very good starting point in VBA. But doing this course one realize how extensive and huge VBA is. As always the teacher is great and one feels his in depth knowledge" -- Daniel Sandberg

Welcome to Excel VBA - An Introduction for the Mac. This course delves into the Visual Basic which allows you to automate Microsoft Excel (and other MS Office products).

Please note: This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft.


Microsoft Excel is an extremely powerful tool – and yet most people only scratch the surface of what it can do. In addition to PivotTables, VLookup formulas and the like, you can also automate it. You can add buttons and forms to add interactive features – yet most people don’t even know it’s there. Maybe you have someone in your organization who is an absolute wizard, getting the computer to do things and walking away while it does it. Do you want to be able to do that? Welcome to wizard school – or in other words, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

In this course, I’ll assume that you have some fair knowledge of Excel – able to do basic formulas and colour cells and the like – but you don’t need any prior knowledge of VBA or any programming language for that matter. Of course, the more you already have, the better. I’ll take things nice and slowly. Each video will center around one new aspect, or we’ll consolidate what you already know with coding exercises. 

Once you have finished the course, then you will be well on your way to developing your own macros to solve your own problems. And you’ll be able to take your new-found knowledge for use in Word and PowerPoint as well

It's really interesting to me, but I still need to get to understand more about each command and its syntax. But thank you for this course.

By Ian Walker on 6/19/2024

It is a very hard course for a beginner in VBA macros for excel, however the course is well explained in a clear and concise manner by the tutor.

By FAHAD ALSHAREF on 3/23/2024

It is a nice introduction to VBA on Mac. It is not a full intro to VBA but it had enough in it to get me started and I managed to create my first VBA Application to handle one of my repetitive tasks that need a bit more than just recording the steps. This course not a full intro to VBA (it does not cover all the basics) but it's a nice start for a Mc user.

By Cedric Jones on 8/31/2022

So far the material is very easy to grasp. As time goes on I expect things will get a little more complicated but I'm up for the challenge on my new iMac 24 inch.

By Ario Brunet on 4/25/2020

Really enjoyed this course, I feel like I have a great grounding to continue learning more about how to use VBA.

By Myk Deans on 12/31/2019

A good basic starter on VBA for Excel, it allowed me to complete a simple VBA project. However, it doesn't discuss arrays, functions, calling them or handling return values, or any form of error handling, so it's a long way short of a comprehensive guide to VBA. If your aim is a full mastery of VBA then your education dollars may be better spent elsewhere.

As a beginner, this was a nice introduction to VBA

By Benjamin R Garber on 8/17/2019

I am trying to learn how to write macro's for my job and we only use Apple products so this course has been very beneficial.

By David Perry on 8/3/2018

Great stuff, starts from zero and gets you ready to make custom macros, both recorded and coded. Only complaint is it ended and I was wanting to continue. I'm going to look now to see if you made a Part II, or "Advanced" course next. Great Instructor.

By Geoff Hawkins on 7/2/2018

Yes - and it matches what is seen on the Mac unlike many other courses and books on VBA ...
