About the Course

"Excel/VBA for Creative Problem Solving, Part 2" builds off of knowledge and skills obtained in "Excel/VBA for Creative Problem Solving, Part 1" and is aimed at learners who are seeking to augment, expand, optimize, and increase the efficiency of their Excel spreadsheet skills by tapping into the powerful programming, automation, and customization capabilities available with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). In Part 2 of the course, learners will: 1) learn how to work with arrays and import/export arrays from/to Excel using VBA code; 2) learn how to work with text strings and write data to .txt files and import information from .txt files; 3) automate the import, modification, and consolidation of information from multiple worksheets into a central worksheet as well as the import of information from multiple workbooks to a central workbook; and 4) gain experience with creating professional user forms to interface with the user, perform advanced calculations, and manipulate data on the spreadsheet. Learners who have a foundational understanding of VBA code and programming structures can jump right into Part 2 of the course without taking Part 1 and use the screencasts in Part 1 as reference. Each module will introduce foundational and broad problems inspired by situations that you might encounter in the real world. To pass each module, you'll need to pass a mastery quiz and complete a problem solving assignment. This course is unique in that the weekly assignments are completed in-application (i.e., on your own computer in Excel), providing you with valuable hands-on training....

Part 1 was great, but in part 2 i feel like i can now actually provide innovative solutions using VBA. It's a very well taught course that keeps you engaged through great quizzes and assignments.

There was plenty in lectures that was just suddenly throw out there. Rather, some key concepts and coding terms were just brought up without substantial explanation into what they do (UBound, Dir, etc).

The assignments were a joy to complete.

please have a tech assistance to answer the question in assignment, I mean before the grade, students can have different kind of problems, they can't solve alone.

Compared to part 1, I think part 2 need improvement including answers for quiz3 and quiz 4 and more demonstrations will be appreciated about how to save workbook

Usefull tips have been shown, however the approch does not result in robust code as all depends on layout, specific addresses and column orders.

The learning itself is great. The marking scheme, however, leads much to be desired.

The grading is based entirely upon writing a piece of code which is fine. However, one can write a piece of code that does the job perfectly and the grader may still not accept that answer, leaving one perplexed.

For example, at one point I copied the instructions into a set of cells far off from where the program was interacting with the data for easy reference. It took half a day to realize that the Grader would not accept the written code until I erased them.

Unfortunately, as one can't proceed without success and with no teacher to interact with one can simply find their course ENDED through no fault of their own.

There were lots of errors in the course and the instructor is not easy to reach. However, I did learn and do recommend only if instructor cleans up the course and fixes his errors.

Very Bad Experience. The instructor speaks in such a low voice
