Excel learner, looking to learn VBA and Dash Board

[Muthus]

Hello,
I have been using Excel for about 25 years, I am over 50. Last two years only I started using Excel functions extensively and got hooked on to it. I am thinking of learning VBA and Dash Board. Two reasons for my desire to learn these two, one is it is interesting and second things is at my work, I have reached a saturation point in what I do, learning these tools may take me to another level in the job market , hoping to be a Financial Analyst at a senior level. I don't know if I am too old to learn VBA now but I want to give it a try and hope to get some feed back from all of you. I have a degree in Accounting and MBA from Dowling College, New York. I am working as a corporate collector for 15 years handling all major accounts.

Thank you
Muthus

Hi Muthus,

Age is just a number.
You may learn in some aspects a bit slower than "kids" but you got substantial background and general understanding of the field + own experiences.
So learning new tricks can be related to all your already possessed knowledge and skills, and thus could be more effective than in case of fresh graduate.
