The best Excel Books,

This review is from: Excel 2010 Power Programming with VBA (Paperback)
I own two other John Walkenbach Excel books and he never fails to deliver. I spent 2 yrs. at my last job building applications with VBA in Excel. John's books were indispensible. He made me look like a genius and trust me I'm not.

This review is from: Excel 2010 Power Programming with VBA (Paperback)
This is my second book purchase in John Walkenbach's VBA series, the first being Power Programming for Excel 2002. Like its predecessor, this book is clearly written with many helpful examples and is an excellent way to learn the ins and outs of VBA programming. I highly recommend it to all.James Kelsh, CGA, CertIFR

This review is from: Excel 2010 Power Programming with VBA (Paperback)
While everyone's starting to learn cooler hipper languages, the reality is that VBA in excel is still pretty darn useful.If you have absolutely no experience then VBA for dummies is still - to me - one of the better places to start. The book is not as big and intimidating. However, after you've already written a few programs, this book is fantastic. Great step by step instructions. Lots of examples. Advanced sections are great. It will take me some time before this all becomes old hat for me. If you were looking for something that uses VBA to link to other Microsoft applications. You should be good with this book. It goes into detail on how to interface with outlook, deal with sending emails, interface with Word or PowerPoint. If you need to learn how to interface with databases, this is not the best choice. But there is no reason to believe it would be in the title or table of contents, so you really can't complain. Will it replace the all mighty google. No, but as a supplement, it is excellent and a bit more structured. The explanations are far better than what you'd find on-line. There are tons of random helpful tips and history that - if you're nerdy enough to read the whole book rather than just use the table of contents and index to get to the sections you need - are pretty darn wonderful. Oh, and for people who can't stand the upgrades in the new version of Excel, the author explains that stuff too. One reason to get the newer vs the older version. 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Great book to learn Excel VBA,

This review is from: Excel 2010 Power Programming with VBA (Paperback)
I tried the Bill Jelen "VBA and Macros" book first but got too frustrated with it. Too much was left "un-said" in that book. So, even though I was forcing myself to learn from it, I decided to get this book too.WOW! John Walkenbach does a great job of starting at the beginning, giving a very interesting spreadsheet background, and then quickly and concisely plunging you into the VBA world. I have also picked up a lot of non-VBA great Excel tips that I have started using. Keep in mind, this book still isn't for the timid. It is serious learning and you have to be prepared to learn quick. But, I feel the book does a great job of teaching with just the right amount of detail. It also helps if you think very logical and sequential. If you can't organize your thoughts, you won't be able to program very well. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

I was surprised at the quality of the instruction in this book. It seems to be much more informative of Excel's features than books I have read for prior versions of Excel. I always have considered myself an expert in Excel. This book has shown me wrong. There is a multitude of features and functions that I am extremely happy to see excellent instruction for.
