Automation & Advanced Techniques with Copilot in Excel

Microsoft develops Excel automation from macro recording and VBA foundations into programming, userforms and debugging. A dashboard section adds predictive and scenario analysis. This is an automation-focused comparison with courses centered on formulas or charts, especially for learners who want to understand the code behind a repeated spreadsheet task.

What you will learn

• Record and explain an Excel macro.
• Relate VBA, userforms and debugging to automation.
• Connect a dashboard with scenario analysis.

Who this suits

Beginner-level course with no previous experience required. Microsoft specifies Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Copilot licenses.

Before you enroll

Check the Excel edition, operating system and required features before enrolling. Use fictional or permitted data, retain the original file and inspect formulas and source ranges before trusting a chart or dashboard.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Record a macro on a fictional workbook and inspect its assumptions. Test it on a differently sized table and document any range that needs correction.
