Training class update

April 3, 2008 – 8:30 pm by JP

The Advanced Excel class tutorial is almost finished. I still have to write the section on ‘Macros’. I’m considering just cutting and pasting from the web, because I’m not sure I have the strength to write something from the ground up. Or it might just be a brief introduction with some simple examples — you can’t teach macro writing in a 3 hour class. I’ve been writing them semi-regularly for the last three years and only in the last three months have I been doing it on an almost daily basis.

Speaking of which, some of the code I wrote way back then is atrocious, but it got the job done. Even to this day it is still being used in my organization and saves countless man-hours of tedious manual work.

Like I said a few months ago, I will post the sample workbooks and the written tutorial once it’s done. I’m not a technical writer, but I like the way it seems to be coming together. I had to figure out how to sync up the workbooks with the written text to make it all flow together like course material should. Not easy! But I think I managed to pull it off, and it’s definitely reusable if anyone wants to re-use it.

Keep thinking,
JP
