Re: Learning VB for Excel

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


John Walkenbach has written several similar books with
"Power Programming" in the title.
Anyone of those would be of great assistance.
I recommend staying away from xl2007 books for now as that
version is substantially different from prior versions.

Walkenbach's website... http://j-walk.com/ss/
and
Chip Pearsons web site... http://www.cpearson.com/excel/MainPage.aspx

will bail you out time after time. Use them.

Since you are new, be aware that there is a separate Excel newsgroup
devoted to Excel programming... microsoft.public.excel.programming.
Also, Chip Pearson has a list of tips and advice for new posters...

I am brand new to this group and could really use some advice. I consider
myself to be about an intermediate level Excel 2003 user (that's the only
version the company I work for uses). I have no programming experience.
I've been told that I need to understand enough Visual Basic to enhance some
of our Excel reports later this year- not exactly sure what means yet.
Since I'll have to learn this on my own, I sure could use some advice about
books or online resources to help me over the next 2-3 months.
Unfortunately, I'll have more time than money to do this. I can afford
maybe 2 books that will cover the basics and offer some useful business
examples to help me. I'm a fairly quick learner, but this will be very new
to me. Your suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you so much!
