 Very good reference for VBA Beginners March 6, 2008
Enrico S. Balanquit (Bay Area, CA)

I have this book for more than two months now and I found it very useful especially on my first VBA project. I have a weekly report and I used to do this manually and often get errors because I have to cross reference values in one big spreadsheet with multiple tabs. Not until I got this book and read the basics and go to specific chapters where I need help. I felt so accomplished after I finished the whole macro. What took me 30 minutes to do manual referencing and typing now only takes less than two minutes including sending it through email. This book is very easy to understand especially for those who know Excel and would like to expand their skills in VBA. Mr Spreadsheet has provided good example files to help us better understand VBA. His approach is basic enough for those who doesn't have any experience in creating macros. By the way if your CD doesn't have the source files or example file go to http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-302036.html and select "All Wiley Products" or call Technical Support. Type your request for the e-source files and they will get back to you really fast with a link of the FTP site for the files. Don't bother to call customer support because they will try to sell you the e-book even though you already have the book. It might be a hassle but its all worth it.
Best VBA book!! February 26, 2008

I am only on page 250 of 1000 or so, but so far this book is excellent!! I had no VBA experience to speak of, this book is pefect for the beginner who learns fast. It is not a slow paced book, but it is very detailed and easy to follow. The author is clearly an crazy expert on VBA and an excellent writer.
I HIGHLY recommend this book. It came with a CD that is filled with VBA samples, but I have not found them anywhere near as interesting as the book itself.
Great Excel to VB Book! February 25, 2008

Very detailed and thorough. I'm an Excel whiz, or so I thought. I learned a lot about Excel and VB. Best resource I've found for this function. You can't go wrong.
A great intro to both Excel and VBA 2007 February 9, 2008

This book successfully combines a great introduction to both Excel and VBA 2007. In fact, I was going to get a separate source on Excel 2007 but then I saw this book had enough of Excel stuff for me. The book is supplemented with a CD with VBA samples; also, there is the author's website where you can find Excel/VBA developer tips.
It is true that the PDF version is missing on the CD, but I myself didn't have much need for it.
Awesome Resource... January 15, 2008

This is - by far - the most valuable VBA tool I've purchased.
I generally have a hard time reading books about programming because they are either 1) way above my head, 2) don't provide "real-life" examples of when you would want to use the code, or 3) just plain boring. Not with this book...
It teaches you how to build tools - like progress indicators, advanced userforms, and general utilities. I've been able to take a little bit from each chapter and create stellar spreadsheet applications. This book has saved me hours... if I can't figure out how to write a block of code, I don't spend time searching Google - I go straight to the book.
Best Reason: it comes with a CD full of macro examples that mirror the chapter concepts. I was able to read the chapter, then go to the computer and try it out (with the code already written out for me). I picked up new concepts much faster than just reading it on my own.
Excellent for Excel 2003 or 2007.
