Good but frustrating |
For somebody (like me) that knows a bit about Excel but had never tried anything with VBA, this book is required reading to get started. It does include a lot of info, examples, and detail. It is generally easy to follow along.
However, while it does provide a lot of knowledge, the more one learns VBA, the more one realizes has been left out of this book. And, in my opinion, it does provide overkill on some subjects, which takes away space that could have been used to give more than a glancing blow of info on others.
Also, the book is about 1000 pages long, and with the regular binding is almost impossible to lay flat to reference while using. Its dimensions are condensed, I don't understand why it wasn't made to be larger to require less pages or produced with a binding system that would allow it to be laid flat.
Last complaint, the index seemed to be an afterthought which makes finding something in particular a little frustrating.
All that being said, it is far better than trying to use the Microsoft Help guides to learn VBA.

Very detailed resource |
|
I used to write macros by cutting and pasting recorded macros. Many lines of cods made my macros unreadable to others. After using this book with its clear examples I understand what I did wrong in the past and how I can write efficient code in the future. This book is very usefull because of its structure, every chapter is a compleet book. |

Wonderful Excel Book |
|
This book is...I can't find the words. It has helped me tremendously. I have gone further with Excel then I ever dreamed I could on my own. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to get more use out of their spreadsheets. |

Informative, but Difficult to Find Information at Times |
While I had used this for a course in VBA, and noted that it was an extremely concise text, I found it near useless when I was working on my assignments. This book had the information in it, but oftentimes, I simply could not find this information quickly (if at all), and instead Googled much of my information.
On a positive note, this is a well-written book (note: not well-indexed), and therefore useful if you're learning VBA and exploring each chapter one-at-a-time. If you're looking strictly for a reference book for VBA, however, I would strongly advise against getting this particular text.
Also, this text is not written for beginners (a point that the author makes clear), even though some of the material in this book could only be for beginners (for example, the introductory VBA material). |

Strongly recommend Excel 2003 Power Programming |
|
Excellent book for anyone looking to quickly get up and programming VBA in Excel. Don't have to be familiar specifically with Visual Basic but a reasonable knowledge of programming a help. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a thorough reference section on VBA. |
