Key topics covered in our Microsoft Excel VBA user defined function training.

Our 2-day hands-on Microsoft Excel VBA functions training shows you how to develop your own custom user defined worksheet functions using Visual Basic for Applications or VBA. VBA user defined worksheet functions (UDF's) can be used to replace multiple worksheet formulas on the worksheet that take up space and file size streamlining their use. They can also do advanced tasks like numerical analysis, interfacing with different computer languages and looping logic for data processing that regular formulas just cannot do. From data processing to advanced modeling, they are the ultimate calculation tool to learn how to build.
