Excel Vba Programming For Dummies, 4e Paperback – 27 Oct. 2015

My job doesn't require me to write Excel VBA code every day. Therefore, since buying the book I've hardly used it. According to my Kindle I've read 31% of it, but I remember harldy anything from it. I only need VBA when I need to write macros to do a paritcular job every now and then. Thus, due to the demands of my job, I found it was more efficient to Google and watch demonstration videos online or obtain code provided in forums. A book can't assist the same way so if your requirement to use Excel VBA is limited like mine, then I don't recommend buying this book or any book like it. However, if you learn best via books then I fully recommend it based on the 31% I have read.Though I don't remember much of the content, I do remember the learning experience which was positive. I was completely new to code when I needed to learn VBA and John Walkenbach did a great job in helping me to take the first steps and build my confidence. If there was a video version of this book, I'd purchase it. But, in this ever increasing fast paced world, I just don't have time to learn via books any more.

I've been going through this book each week for the past few months. It is easily understandable, and the author has done a great job of making the technical normal. However I just don't feel like I'm learning much, every time I am starting to get to grips with something the book tells me that the rest of it will be told in Chapter X, when I get to these chapters I don't really find the necessary information that links them together but instead am referenced to yet another chapter. I mean no disrespect but It seems like there is too much unnecessary waffle for my liking.

A very useful book, especially when used in conjunction with excel VBA live training courses. However the best way to learn VBA is via live courses which are plentiful on Youtube for free!

Good dummies book, covers everything you need to know about VBA. Needs more practical throughout (little ecersises) . So you can practise all the variable and functions which I find helps understanding it alot better.

This is a good book but I found it took such a long time to get to the juicy bits of programming. Well written and amusing though

Easy to follow examples using a clear teaching approach . This book also gives the reasoning behind why you'd choose one form of code over another . Definitely recommend

Ordered for some staff members aware of this series of books so as expected

One of the best Stats books I have come across. Concepts explained very clearly and kept me interested throughout.
