 Great Book August 28, 2010
JM (Mountain View, CA)
This was a truly great book that helped me with Excel VBA for a project at work.
That being said, this book is purely for introductory purposes. Assuming you know how to work with Excel, this book will greatly help you get a start on VBA for Excel. This book doesn't cover the kind of topics you would find in the Power Programming in Excel VBA book, but it covers really basic topics for a beginner.
If you're a beginner to Excel VBA, I would highly recommend this book as a starting point for learning to master it.
 Excel VBA Programming for Dummies August 13, 2010
Lois Coppic (San Angelo, Tx)
I am an accountant--not a programmer and I am only about 1/2 way through the book. I need this information to improve my job skills. I need to complete Excel spreadsheets faster, more accurately, and less manually repetitiously. I am learning many new things that are going to help reach that goal. My previous experience with Macros only included what you could write with the keystroke wizard method (which is very limiting).
Starting around Chap 7, Mr. Walkenbach starts giving a lot of examples of code that is setting dimensions; static counters, offsets; cells vs ranges, etc, but he doesn't complete those examples with the actually code that would run some macro after the previously defined dimensions. I would prefer to see how each actually work; thus I need an example of some code in each case so I can type it and run it. Maybe in some following chapters, he get to it, but by then I will have to go back and review.
Guess this is why this is a book for "Dummies"--looks like I qualify. LOL All in all, I'm getting along well. And occasionally, he throws something funny in--which gives me major amusement considering how intense all of this language is for non-computer programming techie like me.
I recommend this book as a good starting place for someone like me who has some experience using the Macro Record tool in Excel.
Helpful book July 16, 2010

A good book for first learning VBA. Not as in depth as other books though.
A good reference for part-time Excel users. March 20, 2010
gopher625 (Texas (where else?))
I`ve been trying to learn VBA for some time and have several books on the
subject. Excel VBA for Dummies is a good reference tool and
an easy read. I think however, the best book I own on Excel
is the old QUE book, Using Excel Visual Basic for Applications
by Elizabeth Boonin. I had started using it first and since
I am only a part-time Excel user I thought another perspective
would help me understand Excel better which the for Dummies book
does. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone just learning
Excel. Mr. Walkenbach makes learning Excel fun and interesting.
So far so good - completed my first hands-on exercise without much trouble and a sense of achievement at the end :) March 15, 2010
M. Majmundar (Texas)
I read the first two chapters and in the second chapter I completed my hands-on exercise successfully. Was happy, needless to mention. I am not a programmer but, at the same time, not intimidated by it either. Jack of all trades - know a bit of MS Access, SQL and SAS. So far I have enjoyed the book and found it useful. Will see how it goes.
