Don't be put off by the title, this is not as trivial a book as many of the step by step guides from Microsoft seem to be. Reed has developed this book over a number of years to this 2007 version and it shows in the thoroughness and accuracy. I use it as the recommended book on an undergraduate VBA course and it serves as a very solid introduction. A good place to start before progressing to Bovey et al.
Whilst it could be improved, notably by using a standard naming convention and not encouraging people to turn off Option Explicit, the material presented is a thourough subset of VBA neccessary to get you producing solid, well written procedures.
Also don't be put of this if you are using Excel 2003 at present - the material rarely requires you to be running 2007 and .xlsm files will read into 2003 using a free download from Microsoft.

This book was a huge letdown for me. You could find more useful information on VBA for Excel with a Google search and 30 minutes of reading than you will find in this whole book. It is clear the authors expertise lies in Excel and not VBA.
The book has far too much text and does not deliver on the VBA content.I feel quite let down by this book's title.
Quote from the book
"This book has been designed to lead you step by step through all the tasks that you are most likely to want to perform when creating macros in Microsoft Office Excel 2007".
If you want to learn about Macros in Excel, this book might help. If you want to learn about VBA for Excel, steer clear of this book!!!

I don't have much Excel background when I start this book. This book is so easy to follow and I begin to love so called programming!

OK for some probably, but it didn't suit me
It is a question of judgement as to what level of instruction you need. I am very familiar with Excel and with Fortran programming but know next to nothing about Visual Basic. Read more
