Macos for beginners

[Shodi]

Hi everyone and Happy New Year to all.

Looking forward to learning new excel skills in 2018. Can you please help me by telling me what is the best way/place to start learning macros, preferably a detailed tutorial of sorts. I am a kindergartner at Excel Marcos/VBA so I need to learn from scratch understanding the concepts, logic, do's and don'ts and code writing. Thanks!!!

Hi Shodi

You will probably find the macro recorder quite useful - set it to record, do what you need to do and see what it spits out. Of course it's limited to literal translation of your actions into code. YouTube also has a lot of useful tutorials... e.g. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNIs-AWhQzckr8Dgmgb3akx_gFMnpxTN5

Yes hiker95 has a great list here.

I personally like ExcelisFun on youtube with Mike Girvin and I especially like when he teams up with Bill Jelen.

Also have a look at DataPig technologies(which is in Hikers list)

I know EXACTLY how you feel! Some time ago, before the age of quality videos on the web, I bought more books on macros than you can imagine. As good as many of them were, I still couldn't grasp the fundamentals of writing my own macros. Sure, the recorder is nice, but you cannot do loops, "IF" statements etc with the recorder.

Over time, I finally came across two of the best (and nicest) resources for learning how to write your own macros. One is Mynda Treacey (www.myonlinetraininghub.com) and the other is Mr. Excel himself, Bill Jelen. Check their offerings - both books and videos - and I think you'll find a lot of help.

While I am still far from an expert at this, I feel like I can now at least write the basic macros I need from time-to-time. PLUS, this is THE first time I've not used this site to ASK for help myself!

Good luck and Happy New Year to you too.
