      Training objectives

      This training course is to empower participants’ expertise while doing their job, thus:

      • Automate repetitive tasks – such as manipulation of worksheets and files (creation/generation and deletion) and worksheet formatting
      • Increase proficiency in creating and implementing efficient algorithms
      • Develop a set of ready-to-use procedures – useful tools to apply in daily work

      Skills 

      After this training course, the participant will automate:

      • preparation and formatting of worksheets with repetitive calculation structures (operations on formulas and worksheets, creating of custom functions, among other things), 
      • download and saving of data in multiple worksheets and/or workbooks,
      • segregation and preparation of data/calculation sets for various stakeholders (operations on worksheets and workbooks, among other things).
