This book provided a straight forward step into VBA programming. I had used Excel a lot and was used to using compound If statements and conditional formatting to achieve the results I wanted. Using VBA moved me on to a higher level and allowed me to develop Excel spreadsheets that worked the way I wanted them to rather than me having to work to the way my spreadsheet was demanding.


What marks this book as very good is that not only did I find it good to start with, but it continues to be a useful guide. I read the first quarter and that gave me enough to take on most of the tasks I needed to do at the time. However after I became more familiar with VBA, I found I needed more in depth knowledge and I was able to return to the book and progress further.


Recently I have brought "VB & VBA in a Nutshell" and this complements this book very well.
