One of the best How-To books in the Language September 8, 2008
I have been a developer ever since VB1 hit the streets, and I have never used a book so much as I do this one. By far the best of it's kind ever.

I'm not a programmer ... October 19, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

but I wanted to calculate an average cost per day. Obviously the number of days in a month depends on the month.

No problem. Pop in the CD included ... copy ... paste into your VBA Module ...

Locate your spreadsheet's cell ... type "=dhDaysInMonth(Month)" ... done.

If you've written any macros at all or even recorded one ... you will appreciate the amount of work you're buying for a little over thirty bones.

Highly recommended. As page 196 says, 'You'll get better performance (and fewer bugs) by taking advantage of the work that's already been done.'

This book is a bargain.

Mange Takk!

Excellent! Great book July 17, 2007

This is really the best book i ever found. I have bought several books for Excel VBA. Non of them will explain as detail as this book. Besides, for those people who really interest in VBA, this is really a good book where you can start solve more complex problem.

Non of the books so far i found will teach you how to create data structure using VBA e.g binary tree, linked list, queue and stack thru VBA implementation. it is worth while to keep this book for your future reference...

Excellent reference book for Intermediate users July 13, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

In the introduction the authors state : "To make it possible to stuff as much code into this book, we've had to dispense with material specifically geared for beginners"

I like that - a lot of 'reference' books I've purchased waste many chapters devoted to topics that I would expect to find in 'Inroduction' or 'Beginners' - titled books.

This tome however (all 1073 pages of it!) is totally dedicated to useful code snippets and sound programming principles.

Despite its size I find the book logically structured and very easy to locate the information I need, very quickly - the "Contents at a Glance" page helps immensly.

I'd definitely recommend this book for any VBA developer as an essential resource.

Thorough, Instructional, with great code samples February 27, 2006

This book has gotten me out of many scrapes. It is a rare book that can be read from the beginning, while trying out the sample code, as a way to learn the language, or as a reference book, to look up how to use a certain function effectively while writing code. Don't let the title fool you, this book is for those coding in VB just as much as it is for those using VBA. If you are going to buy one book on Visual Basic, let this be the one. If you are going to buy one book on Visual Basic, and see one movie this year, then buy this book and see Amelie. ;)
