15 Best Macros Courses for Advanced Learners

Choosing a macros course can be daunting, especially when you want material that goes beyond basics and fits your schedule and budget. This page lists fifteen advanced-level options from Coursera and Udemy, covering SAS programming macros, Excel VBA, Power Features, and related automation tools. Prices range from $19.99 to $149.99, allowing you to compare cost against the depth of content and platform preferences.

All courses are aimed at learners who already have a solid grounding in the respective software and are looking to extend their capabilities with advanced scripting, automation, and reporting techniques. The selection reflects a mix of specialised macro programming (for SAS and Excel) and broader productivity suites, so you can pick a path that aligns with the tools you use most often in your work or studies.

How these 15 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Coursera, Udemy, matched to "macros" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $19.99 to $199.99, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

Best Macros Courses for Advanced Learners compared

Prices shown are the provider's listed price when we last updated this page. Confirm on their site before enrolling.

What the prices here tell you

The 15 priced courses on this page run from $19.99 to $199.99, with the middle of the range around $49.00 — a spread of $180.00. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.

Who is behind these courses

These courses come from Coursera and Udemy. The platforms differ in how they sell: some charge once per course, others expect a subscription, and the listed price is not always what you pay at checkout after a promotion.

Before you enrol

Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.

Frequently asked questions

What prior knowledge do I need before enrolling in these advanced macros courses?
You should be comfortable with the core functions of the software covered, such as basic Excel formulas, VBA, or SAS data steps. Familiarity with standard reporting or automation tasks will help you get the most from the advanced material.
How do the Coursera and Udemy courses differ in delivery style?
Coursera courses typically follow a structured weekly format with peer discussions and graded assignments, while Udemy courses are self‑paced video series that you can start at any time and pause as needed.
Are there any certification or credential benefits?
Coursera courses often provide a shareable certificate upon completion, which may be useful for professional profiles. Udemy courses issue a completion badge, but they do not carry formal accreditation.
Can I access the course materials after I finish?
Both platforms allow you to revisit video lectures and downloadable resources after you have enrolled, though Coursera may limit access to a set period unless you purchase a subscription, while Udemy generally offers lifetime access.
