Roger/ Cearbhall,
I've used VBA to write scripts in excel, but haven't tried with office 2016
yet, so can't vouch for its accessibility. However, in earlier versions of
office, it was accessible, and very usable,
David.

Hi Cearbhall
I haven't started with macros at any point and know nothing.
I write software in java script, java, python and html so far. I'm fairly
quick to learn language once I understand the principles.
Thanks for getting back to me and like you I'm a bit tired of click here and
enter this over here on you tube videos.
No sight using NVDA on Win 10.
I've used blue-j because I'm old, notepad++ and netbeans/sodbeans and
haven't dipped my toes into anything else yet. I was thinking to start with
eclipse.
So those are the languages and IDEs.
If you are able to point me at where to start and the tools and any tricks
to make life a little easier that would be great.
thanks again
roger

Roger,
Good to hear from you!
There are many good tutorials on the web. I just Google to find solutions
that I need in which experts supply answers to questions raised by others.
None of these have anything to do with accessibility, of course, that is
something we have to field ourselves.
The biggest nuisance that I have found is YouTube. Most people seem to
prefer to explain code and methods with a YouTube video in which they
frequently use such words as "this" "here" and "as you can see" - all of
which excludes anyone who cannot see what they are talking about. Another
snag which is really maddening is in really useful text-based instructions,
not on YouTube, on appropriate code in which the author explains well what
to do but then presents a sample code as a graphical image! This prevents
us from getting to grips with the exact procedure to follow.
Before I make any further recommendations, could you tell me what you have
tried until now? Are you a complete novice? If not, where would you like me
to pick up.
All the best,
Cearbhall

I've always wanted to know how to make accessible macros for Excel. Can you
point me at any resources. I'm total using NVDA on Win10.
many thanks

Hi, Jim,
I virtually live with Excel and would be happy to see if I can help with
your thoughts. I do formulas, macros and simple routine tasks as well!
I can be reached on Facetime, WhatsApp, team talk - you name it!

Hi,
If anyone is willing to talk to me privately about this, I don't want to
clog up the list with this, because I think it requires a conversation. I'm
trying to wrap my head around some Excel functions and what I would like to
set up. I want to get help thinking through how to set up what I want with
data and formulas.
Thanks.
Jim
