Watch this video from Kenji Explains and use it to practice VBA editor basics and Loops and conditions.
Practice workbook setup
Create a small practice workbook with one raw-data sheet, one working sheet, and one final output sheet.
Practice workflow
- Rebuild the example once exactly as described, then repeat it with different labels, dates, or amounts.
- Write a short note beside the result explaining what each step is doing and why it matters.
- Change one input value and confirm the output updates in the way you expected.
- Save a clean copy of the workbook before experimenting further.
Quality checks
- Inputs, calculations, and final outputs are separated clearly.
- Headings describe the data without relying on memory or hidden context.
- The final result can be understood by someone who did not build the workbook.
Common mistakes
- Mixing raw data and manual adjustments in the same cells.
- Skipping a quick review after the result looks correct.
- Building a one-off fix instead of a repeatable workflow.
Next actions
- Apply the same pattern to a real workbook with 20 to 50 rows of sample data.
- Add one note that explains when you would not use this approach.
Formula focus: even if this workflow is not formula-heavy, add one check cell that confirms the final output still matches the source data.
