In this practical webinar, you will learn how to effectively extend the capabilities of your macros. You will also learn how to increase the speed and effectiveness of macros as well as implement various measures to avoid common pitfalls that cause macros to crash. Among other things, you will determine when to use a macro versus using a built-in feature in Excel. You will also explore features in Excel that may eliminate the need for certain macros, such as dynamic array formulas, the Table feature, and PowerQuery.
Office 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
