The best of 3 1 Mar 2006
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I've got Elisabeth Boonins book and Richard Shepherds book on Excel VBA. I also teach VBA. I'd say this is the best of them. It contains more information, it is easier for beginners to understand, and it has good reference information. An excellent book from absolute beginners to intermediate/advanced. Elisabeths book is also good, but it is now out of date.

I think many people rave about the VBA books, whoever wrote them, because VBA itself is very useful. However this the best book.

This book is really accessible, with loads of working examples. I needed to write a couple of custom functions for use in Excel 2002 spreadseets. And needed to get them working as addins. This book told me all I needed to know. A lot simpler to follow than some other books on this topic - such as one of the author's other books "Excel 2002 Power Programming with VBA".

Brilliant.

This book is a must have for anyone wanting to get to know VBA. Don't let previous books on VBA programming put you off, as these can either swing between patronising to the mega confusing (in my own experience). John Walkenbach takes you through this must have guide with patients and humour at an understandable and undaunting pace. Even when I was only half way through his book I was using the information I had gathered to streamline my many tedious excel spreadsheets and by the end of the book I wanted more. P.s. John, please bring part two !!
