Reader Reviews:
Excellent book but not for beginners (0/0 people found this helpful)
Great book.Learnt a lot about how to develop applications in Excel.Would not recommend it to beginners though.
The standard text (0/0 people found this helpful)
Brilliant, just don't buy it until you are reasonably confident with the same authors Excel reference or similar - this is not an entry level text. Worth it for the naming conventions alone!
Excellent (0/0 people found this helpful)
If you are an Excel developer/advanced user and wanting to further your knowledge then this is the book for you. This is an excellent book overall but where it 'excels' (sorry) is in it's constant hammering home of best practise - and these skills can be transfered to other applications/languages. As many others have said - I thought I was an advanced Excel developer and that I knew it all, not so after looking at this book. I just hope they'll do an update for Excel 2007.
The best book for serious VBA applications (2/2 people found this helpful)
I have been building Excel models and using VBA for almost 10 years, and this is by far the best book that I have read about how to build robust VBA applications. Other books deal mainly with technical aspects of VBA, but this book also shows how to structure applications and how to put into practice the more advanced features of Excel and VBA.
If you know the basics this book will take you a new level (9/9 people found this helpful)
I have been writing Excel macros for sometime and when people wanted me to write macros for them I found this book invaluable. Before reading this my `applications' where merely taking the standard Excel interface and using the Active X functions it provides to maniple data as required. Now my applications have very specific interfaces and functions, most people who have seen them have said things like `I did not know Excel could do that'. If you are new to programming, Excel or Macro writing then this book is not for you (yet), the book is written assuming that the user knows a bit more then the basics. This book is all about creating an application, I.E using the readers existing knowledge to create that application. That said there is considerable coding included with practical examples showing how to implement the functions presented. Nearly everything is included in the accompanying CD and that is my only bug with this book, not all the code fragments are included with the result that some of the functions must be entered by the reader.
