Very hands-on approach to learning VBA, which I appreciated since I learn better by doing than by watching theory. The macro examples for automating repetitive spreadsheet tasks saved me real time at work almost immediately. Wish there had been a bit more coverage on debugging common VBA errors, since I hit a few snags figuring that part out on my own.

Trabalho com planilhas todos os dias e esse curso mudou completamente minha rotina no escritório. As aulas sobre VBA são explicadas de um jeito bem direto, sem complicar demais, e os exemplos de macros para automatizar tarefas repetitivas são exatamente o tipo de coisa que eu fazia manualmente há anos. Gostei muito de como cada lição termina com um mini script que dá pra adaptar direto pro meu trabalho. Já consegui automatizar a formatação de relatórios que antes me tomava horas toda semana. Recomendo bastante pra quem trabalha no escritório e quer ganhar tempo com o Excel.

Ich arbeite im Büro und mache täglich dieselben Excel-Aufgaben, deshalb wollte ich endlich Makros lernen. Der Kurs beginnt wirklich bei null und zeigt, wie man mit dem Makrorekorder startet und dann eigene VBA-Schleifen schreibt. Besonders das Beispiel, bei dem mehrere Tabellenblätter automatisch zusammengeführt werden, hat mir im Alltag sofort geholfen. Ein paar mehr Übungen zur Fehlerbehandlung hätte ich mir gewünscht, aber insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die sich wiederholende Arbeit loswerden wollen.

Mit ein paar Zeilen VBA spare ich mir jetzt das ewige manuelle Sortieren von Rechnungslisten.
