Learn VBA 10x Faster: How to Build Excel Automation with AI (Beginner Friendly Crash Course!)

What if you could learn VBA in under 30 minutes—and actually use it to automate real-world Excel tasks… without memorizing syntax or struggling through outdated tutorials? That’s what this crash course is about. AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can now generate high-quality VBA code, help you debug, and even design entire workflows. So instead of learning VBA the hard way, you’ll learn how to co-create solutions with AI like a professional developer. By the end of this video, you’ll be able to: ✅ Write VBA macros from scratch ✅ Use AI to generate and debug your code ✅ Apply Google’s T.C.R.E.I prompting framework ✅ Think like a solution architect, not just a coder ✅ Build modular, reliable automations—FAST This is the modern way to learn VBA, and it will genuinely change the way you work. ⭐ What You’ll Learn (3-Part Crash Course) 1️⃣ VBA Basics (15–20 minutes) A fast, practical start—no fluff. You’ll learn: • Variables, constants, loops, IF statements • Object hierarchy (Workbook → Worksheet → Range) • Subs & functions • Debugging basics • How to write your first macro • How to save a macro-enabled workbook • How to attach macros to buttons No prior coding experience required. 2️⃣ How to Work With AI (ChatGPT + Gemini) Like a Pro Most people get weak, incorrect AI-generated code. Not you. You’ll learn Google’s T.C.R.E.I. Prompting Framework: T – Task (what you want, and in what format) C – Context (tell AI about your workbook and goal) R – References (show an example or past macro) E – Evaluate (read and check the generated code) I – Iterate (refine the code like a real dev) This is the “secret skill” that lets you build working automations in minutes. 3️⃣ How to Design Good Solutions (The Architect Mindset) Before you ask AI for code, you’ll learn how to: • Break problems into modular steps • Map out a process logically • Think in inputs, actions, outputs • Build clean, future-proof, testable macros • Add professional error handling Then we actually build a full multi-step automation, piece by piece: • Clear old report data • Filter your source sheet • Copy/paste priority rows • Create a bar chart • Generate an Outlook email • Attach the workbook • Send to your manager • Display “Report Sent!” All done using AI. This is how real corporate automation is built—quickly and cleanly. 🎥 This is Part 1 of a 3-Video Series Part 1 (this video): Learn VBA fast + how to co-create code with AI Part 2: How to talk to AI models + call the Gemini API directly from VBA Part 3: Build a real-world automation that extracts data from ANY PDF invoice using AI Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss the next two videos! 💬 Who This Video Is For ✔ Absolute beginners ✔ Analysts, managers, operations teams ✔ Anyone who uses Excel in a business setting ✔ People who want to automate work and save hours weekly ✔ Developers who want to integrate AI into their workflow ✔ Anyone curious about AI-assisted coding A general familiarity with Excel is helpful.
