This course provides an introduction to advanced spreadsheet techniques and programming using macros and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. The focus is on automation of repetitive tasks, including data manipulation as well as data analysis. Experience with Excel is recommended. No prior programming experience expected.

Open to students with majors in the Isenberg School of Management Pre Req: OIM 210 OIM majors and non-OIM Isenberg majors should monitor the course via Spire for seat availability. Students who add themselves to the Spire waitlist should ensure they do not enroll in a course that conflicts with this course or are enrolled in a max number of credits. 30 seats are reserved for declared OIM majors. Remaining seats are available to non-OIM Isenberg majors who meet the enrollment requirements. Please contact the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs Office at undergrad@isenberg.umass.edu if you meet the enrollment requirements, seats are available, and you are unable to self-enroll or add yourself to the Spire waitlist (if open as indicated by a yellow triangle). Please note that for all OIM courses, the Department utilizes the Spire waitlist. The Registrar will stop promoting students on the Spire waitlist about one week prior to the beginning of classes. Once the Spire waitlist is no longer functional, you will need to monitor the class and self-enroll if a seat becomes available.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
