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 If the class is open, Isenberg majors can contact the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs Office at undergrad@isenberg.umass.edu if you meet the enrollment requisites and are unable to self-enroll or unable to add yourself to the Spire waitlist (if open as indicated by a yellow triangle).

If you add yourself to the Spire waitlist, please ensure you do not enroll in a course that conflicts with this course or enroll in a maximum number of credits.

Once the course and the Spire waitlist is full, OIM majors and Isenberg majors should monitor the course via SPIRE for seat availability. The Spire waitlist will stop promoting students about one week prior to the beginning of the semester. Once the Spire waitlist is no longer functional, students should monitor the class and self-enroll if a seat becomes available.

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