 Excellent Book October 13, 2008
I purchased this book as an assist to me - to build upon the knowledge that I have already, regarding Macros and VBA. I know some VB6, and am translating that knowledge through this book. I don't think that I am alone in asserting that any type of "Dummies" book provides good insight/information to those who may even have some existing knowledge of the topic. I will probably purchase another more intermediate book for VBA programming, to extend the experience. The purchase came very quickly as Amazon always does !
 Doesn't work July 11, 2008

The book is poorly written and poorly organized. The book covers very similar types of processes using different syntax without explaining why it used different VB code, so one wonders what why it uses one type of code here and another type of code there. Literally, the book has codes which, when I type verbatim, generates errors. Thoroughly frustrating book. Breezing and useless.
 Exactly what I needed May 12, 2008

This book is exactly what I needed. I know several program languages so I just needed a good introduction to syntax and the basic functions. This was what I needed. Thanks.
Another great JWalk offering March 15, 2008

I've purchased other JWalk products in the past and this is another in a line of great JWalk Excel,Access, VBA offerings. This is a very good addition for the user who is not comfy with VBA for Excel. Get this if your delving into Excel VBA for the first time.
A Very Good Book for Beginners - You Will Be Coding in No Time! February 24, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have tried to pick up VBA for Excel a few times, but the pieces just didn't seem to fall together for me. I am in IT, but I don't have a development background. I have solid Excel skills, but still got frustrated with VBA and would put it down. Recently, I had a very specific problem to solve for work and thought I would give it another try.
I decided to get a book with the basics and read it completely first, then try to start coding my project. I was in a hurry so I also got the online upgrade to start reading even before my book got here. I found the book an easy read and occasionally tried a few of the examples as I went along. I got through the book easily in a few days and feel as if I had a good knowledge base to begin.
I am happy to say within 2 weeks, I have completed the project I had first planned and then an even more complex project. I have a third planned now. I used other Excel VBA resources along the way, but have to give credit to this book for getting me started and with the basics so I could even understand where to go next. I see the time and money I invested in this book coming back to me many times over due to the hours and hours of work the macros I have been able to write will save both myself and my team members.
I still have a lot to learn, but I am very satisified with this book. I picked this book because of the other good reviews it has on this Amazon site, so I hope you will find my review helpful to you!!
