Alright, so I’ll get laughed at here, but one of my ‘goals’ for work this year is I wanted to take the 4 hour VBA course on youtube and then write a small program after it that does something.

Before you laugh at me using an outdated language, I only chose it because a co worker suggested learning it, and we do use some VBA coded macros in our spreadsheets. We’re not a very up to date company.

The reason I never get anything done with learning programming is I never know what to do . And if I do come up with something to do, it will be WAYY too complex over my head, i’ll fail at it, then never touch it again. If it’s too simple, I won’t even want to bother. (Yay ADHD)

So I’m just looking for a couple suggestions for a fun little program to make (and consider the goal ‘done’). I know calculators of some sort are an option…I can’t really think of anything else. I guess it doesn’t actually have to be a useful program but it would be cool if it was.

    Hey man, someone’s gotta learn VBA! It’ll probably outlive both of us, if Microsoft keeps it around in any capacity.
