![]() I was wondering, on average, what VBA skills are needed in the profession. I basicly know C programming (although its been awhile and im verrry rusty). Is the VBA needed mostly for coding in excels VBA macro, is there much (if any) using the graphical code building function of VBA... and would there really be much of a reason to try and learn other things in Visual Studio i.e. SQL or C#?...
