Course Description
Excel users often find themselves repeating complex calculations, leading to inefficiencies and potential for error. Creating Custom Functions in Excel addresses this common problem by teaching how to create and use custom functions, revolutionizing the way you handle calculations in Excel. Led by Excel expert Patricia McCarthy, this course introduces the concept of user-defined functions, enabling you to design tailored functions for your specific needs. Unlike typical programming courses, this session focuses on practical application within Excel, utilizing the Visual Basic Editor and VBA keywords in an accessible manner. You’ll learn to efficiently create, save, and implement custom functions, and even develop an Add-In file for using these functions across all your workbooks. By the end of this course, you will have mastered the skill of creating your own functions, streamlining your workflow, and reducing the risk of manual errors in your calculations.
