Financial modeling is an essential skill for finance professionals and students. Excel VBA (Visual Basic for Application, the embedded programming language in Excel) allows you to create powerful spreadsheet models by overcoming the limitations of Excel and automating spreadsheet procedures . In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Excel VBA and apply VBA skills to developing financial models for various purposes. Upon completion of the course, you should be able to:

  • Understand Excel VBA and its application in finance
  • Design simple spreadsheet models for financial data analysis using Excel VBA
