 Probably the best introduction to VBA for Excel June 25, 2006

Having previously read Walkenbach's Excel VBA for Dummies, I was a little dissapointed at the extent to which content was mirrored. That being said, I still have to think this is probably the best book for the beginning Excel VBA programmer aspiring to significantly improve his or her skills. Walkenbach's books are well written, easy to follow, progress logically, and focus on the things you really want to know. He does a good job of balancing between providing the reader with the underlying theory, and providing practical examples. It has also proven to be a valuable reference... more than any other Excel book I own, I have gone back to Power Programming again and again.

This book is one of the best ones that explain Excel & VBA deeply. It's recommended for the people who knows the programming bases as general. I owned this book and the author puts a lot of his mind explaining the Excel and VBA. I have been learned a lot because of this book. Thanks for the author Mr. John Walkenbach and for AMAZON. Eng.

There is one essential difference between this version and the 2002 version of the book. The 2003 version does NOT have a PDF copy of the book on the accompanying CDROM - the earlier version does!
Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA (Excel Power Programming With Vba) by John Walkenbach April 2, 2006

I highly recommend this book. I have a series of books by John Walkenbach; Excel Power Programming, Excel 2003 Formulas, and Excel Charts. I can't live without these books. Work is always hectic with crazy deadlines and never enough time to do the job and Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA is a great reference book that has saved me numerous times. Since the authors examples are straight forward and easy to follow I'm able to incorporate many of his approaches straight into my work, saving me precious time. The companion CD is a must as the PDF file of the text is searchable making it quick and easy to focus in on what information you need. The CD also includes Excel files which are great examples.

This is a good place to start to learn programming with Excel. I've used Mr Walkenbach's site as a reference for years; the man knows his stuff.
If you're looking for a primer on starting to automate & improve Excel spreadsheets, this is a great book.
If you're already scripting Excel Macros & looking to go to the next step, you'll pick up a few tricks from this book. Otherwise go for "Professional Excel Development" by Bullen, Bovey, & Green.
