Microsoft® Excel VBA Level 2: Variables and Constants

Microsoft® Excel VBA: Variables and Constants will delve deeper into the core components of the Visual Basic language. The internal framework of code structure will be discussed, including objects, properties, and methods. The user will also be exposed to variable and constant declaration as well as the scope and lifetime of those variables. This course will also cover blanket methods for trapping program errors.

Objective: Upon completion of this course the user will effectively construct code blocks where explicit variables will be used to control user input values as well as define and use constant values in VBA procedures. Basic error-trapping techniques will also be explored.
