Product Description
Through his years of spreadsheet writing, John Walkenbach found that only about 5% of spreadsheet users really understand what Excel is capable of--his goal with this book is to develop them into would-be power users and VBA programmers. The bonus CD-ROM features a blockbuster assortment of over 15 MB of Excel and Windows 95 Shareware, featuring the Power Utility Pak, a comprehensive collection of utilities and 22 new worksheet functions. It also includes all the code and examples from the book and an awesome collection of Excel games.

I am constantly using this book for reference and rarely do I not find an answer I am looking for.
A solid book that gets the job done! October 14, 1999

Let me put this in clear, concise and 'hands-on' language. Before reading this book, I knew little about VBA. Right after reading it (and actually working through 80% of its examples), I was able to build a custom mortgage analysis application using MS Excel as the user interface and MS Access as the data source. I was able to set up and manipulate dropdowns (comboboxes) within spreadsheet cells to present parameter choices, and to programmatically create and manipulate graphs and pivot tables to display results in more meaningful formats. I also made extensive use of arrays and functions to cope with the many iterative calculations required. To add to all this, I was able to use DAO to query and update the Access database. Since then, I have been working on VBA for Access etc., only to find out that the foundation laid by John Walkenbach carries over excellently to all MS Office applications.
 Excellent book. October 5, 1999

I did not buy this book for a month because of some of the review comments, but then did go ahead and buy the book. I disagree with the negatives - this is an excellent book for anybody who has to write VB code for Excel. And there aren't THAT many bugs in the code, and those that are there are very minor. The comment about the "help" is unwarranted - I've been living in the "help" for two months now. Of the 3 books I have on this topic, this is the best one.
 Far Too Many Errors In the Examples April 27, 1999

There are far too many errors in the examples. I spent so much time fixing the errors that I easily lost track of the principle I was trying to learn.The book also makes frequent reference to on line help. I spent $31.99 to have convient paper access to the information that I needed.

This is THE Book. The examples were clear enough that I was able to customize them for my own needs and get the job done.I'm dying for the 97 version!!!!
