Rating: - Wonderful Excel Book
This book is...I can't find the words. It has helped me tremendously. I have gone further with Excel then I ever dreamed I could on my own. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to get more use out of their spreadsheets.
Rating: - Informative, but Difficult to Find Information at Times
While I had used this for a course in VBA, and noted that it was an extremely concise text, I found it near useless when I was working on my assignments. This book had the information in it, but oftentimes, I simply could not find this information quickly (if at all), and instead Googled much of my information.
On a positive note, this is a well-written book (note: not well-indexed), and therefore useful if you're learning VBA and exploring each chapter one-at-a-time. If you're looking ... Read More
Rating: - Strongly recommend Excel 2003 Power Programming
Excellent book for anyone looking to quickly get up and programming VBA in Excel. Don't have to be familiar specifically with Visual Basic but a reasonable knowledge of programming a help. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a thorough reference section on VBA.
Rating: - Excel 2003 PPVBA
Book was helpful in the setup of various 'maintenance' routines. It gave me a fresh look at the use of properties, allowing me to streamline the coding. Unfortunately, company directives have us converting the work to 'active server pages' with a SQL 2005 database server. Since the source data is Oracle, I have been working on DB to DB utilities.
Rating: - It's one of the best Excel book I have.
It's an excellent an useful book. Personally, It's helped me a lot. I recommend to read it, because it has many simple and difficult examples of macros, codes, programming's techniques and functions. Also it teachs about API of Windows . It'll definitely help to be a successful developer on Excel.
