 Could do better December 27, 2007

This book spends too much time giving you "cool" examples "to impress your clients" and not enough time explaining the syntax of the language. Also, the book does assume a little more in the way of programming knowledge than it claims, e.g. use of DIM statement is never explained.
All I wanted from a VBA manual was a dry, comprehensive syntax/semantics-oriented guide. What this book does is give small examples of what individual properties can do, then build these up into 'useful' macros. The problem is that if you want to write some code slightly different to the example given in the book, it takes a lot of digging to find out how.

If you are a bit dim like me you are going to struggle with this book, but persistance pays off. It does eventually sink in.
 An excellent buy. Far more useful than those 500+ page "everything about..." tomes June 9, 2006

This is one of those rare things, a technical "how to" book that actually delivers more than it claims on the cover. It is unintimidating, easy to read, and there's a really useful nugget of information on almost every page. As an example, although ostensibly focused only on Excel Macro programming, this book along the way clarifies some critical details on both Excel Pivot Tables and R1C1 cell referencing that another 850-page "comprehensive" book on Excel completely failed to mention.
VBA & Macros for Excel July 23, 2004

Mr Excel has written yet another great book about Excel, over 500 pages of highly informative stuff, great examples and its all written in an easy to use format.(The explanation of VBA speech is great.)As a Excel power user for several years I'm always looking for something to give me the edge and make mine or my co-workers life that little easier. This book does, as do the rest of the Mr Excel / Holy Macros titles. Want to learn VBA - Go Buy!!
