Indispensable Excel/VBA 2007 Resource - 2009-07-09
Reviewer Rating: 1 star rating2 star rating3 star rating4 star rating5 star rating
I have projects that need potential productivity boosts that can only be achieve in Excel using VBA. Unfortunately, I have found Excel/VBA 2007 (and previous versions also) to be very deficient often negating a substantial percentage of potential productivity gains. Most of these shortcomings result from poor and "hard-to-find" documentation. Additionally, some features do not work as intended.

Mr. Walkenbach has done a superb job in his Excel/VBA book by covering many of the shortcomings of Microsoft. I have found Microsoft's documentation to be brief (when found and applicable) and often not providing needed information. General web searches have proved more productive than search of Microsoft's knowledge base [...].

His book has excellent information on sending emails from Excel/VBA and developing interactive forms and charts using VBA. I am not sure I would have been able to complete my projects without his book(s). And he has responded to my emails to him for clarifications on a few topics. I have completed all projects attempted so far and that was not so prior to using his books.

However, potential Excel/VBA users should be warned that the object programming requirements are very exacting and even Mr. Walkenbach's book can only help put you on a workable path and substantially speed your work. We can only hope that Microsoft eventually improves.

Actually, I wanted to buy a book that's comprehensive that I could use it to know the secrets of VBA programming in Excel. I want to make essential spreadsheets to help me in my work. Skimming the book contents, I could say that I this book will help me getting my objectives and accomplish my task. But I couldn't judge the book correctly before reading most of it; I've just started reading it.

Power Programming with VBA - 2009-07-06

I ordered the book on regular mail to be delivered in Brazil.Time was not an issue to me. I received the book 3 weeks after I placed the order.
The book was used and surprisingly almost as a new one would look like.

I am still at the beginning of the book, but it is actually more than I expected. You read it like a novel!!! You can easily read a chapter without having to write the codes on the computer, because John Walkenback makes it easy to read!

Nonetheless, I am still at the beginning (page 180 from 1000).

So again, great book, great service! Thank you!
