This is the perfect book for those of us who are self-taught VBA developers. This book is especially appropriate for beginning VBA developers. I learned so much from this book that will help me do my job better by writing more solid applications.
I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone who plans on writing Excel applications that need to have a truly professional advantage.

A simple browse of the TOC will show you where this book is heading... A Professional Excel Developer.
Not for the absolute beginner. Intermediates and Advanced Excel'ers will benefit greatly.

From designing better worksheets and using both built-in and add-on options to using the new Ribbon interface and utilizing XML within Excel, this packs in integrated solutions and is a top pick for any computer collection catering to either business managers or Excel programmers.

One of the 4 star reviews mentions that this book only 'overviews' some topics. I thought it's appropriate to mention the reason why this book was written (I read this on Stephen Bullen's website). The Wrox book by Bullen, Green, Bovey has always been the master of advanced VBA, has been since Excel 2000. They did a Excel 2002 edition. But the re-write for Excel 2003 was done without their approval by someone else and was full of bad mistakes. This book came out from the authors under a different publisher, and to me it's the real revision of the Wrox book for Excel 2003, but also it takes Excel development to another level. Hence, it is best treated as an extension to the Wrox book, which incidentally the authors have now regained in the Excel 2007 revision. Buy both.

This is the only book I have found for taking your development skills to the next level after reading all the "how to"-books about Excel VBA. There are a lot of them, some very good. Read them first and practise! Then, if you want to improve your design and make use of your VBA skills to create something really useful for your clients, this book can give you all the inspiration you need.
But it is not the book for you if you are new to Excel VBA.
