- I assume no previous Excel experience, so
don't worry if you did not do much or any Excel in the past. You will
be fine. The course covers lots of graphics and animation concepts, such
as are useful for PhotoShop and Flash and clipart.
It covers HTML and gives further
web page experience, databases, and some authoring software. Also covers
PowerPoint basics and beyond.
- Excel VBA Macros PowerPoint presentation
covers all the basics, using the Birthday problem. We will start this
on Friday, August 29th.
-
The 23 BIRTHDAYS MACRO is your first assignment. It will be due on
Wednesday, September 17th.
Your 23 birthdays macro should include buttons to run it once, or
100 times, as well as buttons to reset the total counts. It should
include all the features, including color them yellow and show the
actual month and day of any duplicated birthday.
Basically, it
requires you to implement and develop the most advanced version of
the birthday macro shown on the PowerPoint presentation.
- REVIEW and SCREEN SNAPSHOTS of Wednesday, Sept 17th class.
- Code for
ShowDuplicates to color them yellow, track if there is a repeat
birthday with a BOOLEAN TRUE/FALSE variable. This code calls a couple
of other macros.

macro recorded during class on Wednesday, September 17th. This
macro calls the ShowDuplicates macro.
- How do I update the totals? updateTotals macro VBA code
and how and where it is used (at the end of showDuplicates macro).

.Offset() technique and
adapting it to checking for repeats to eliminate the need for
an extra variable and a couple lines of code.
It also covers the
ReportResult() macro code and how you could
use the version that has a BOOLEAN argument instead of the zero argument
TallyTheResult() macro.
