 Not a big help August 4, 2008
For a "Dummies" book, I must be brain dead. Not that easy to follow
Simple but you still need a lot of practice January 25, 2008

The book is very intuitive and easy to understand but you still need a ton of practice to be a pro with macros.
Overall the book it is pretty good
 This man IS a :"Nice Guy" September 28, 2007

I have not purchased the book - yet. But, I have purchased other of his books and found them to be well written, helpful and a good learning experience. As the reviewer before me mentions - that he seems to be a nice guy - I can vouch for that. Several years ago, I contacted him about geting a version of his Add-ons disk. Even though I did not purchase anything or even indicate I would purchase anything - he offered me a few bucks off the quoted price. This is a man who teaches because he loves it from what I have seen and experienced. It is NOT all about the money for him. If there was a definition for Excel God in the dictionary, his picture would be next to it. Enough said.
It's by John Walkenbach, It's Great March 28, 2007

When all is said and done, John Walkenbach only has three things going for him:
One, he really knows what he is talking about. While this is a For Dummies book, and doesn't go down really into the Power Programming (that's another of his books) level, they couldn't have gotten a more knowledgeable person to write it. You can take what he says in the book (or on the books companion web site just in case a typo made it through the editing system) as something handed down on stone tablets.
Second, he really knows how to convey the information he has. I find his writing style to be well laid out, informative, almost a pleasure to read (true pleasure I associate with good Science Fiction, not any computer book).
Third, he really seems to be a nice guy. While I've never met him, the home page on his web site (given at the very beginning of the book) has a has a link - Send e-mail to John Walkenbach. On a couple of occassions, I've had a reason to send him an e-mail asking a question. He's answered promptly, curteously and save me a whole bunch of time.
If you want a quick and rapid introduction to macros or VBA programming (in Excel these are the same thing), something that will get you started, this is an excellent choice. As you become a power user, buy his Power Programming with VBA book, and indeed his other Excel books.
