Books on Excel

This page lists some of the Excel (VBA) books I like.

Excel 2007 VBA Programming For Dummies

John Walkenbach asked me whether I could help him to update this book to the 2007 version of Excel, because he was so busy doing the same for all of his other books. Of course I was honoured to do so.

This was my first experience writing a book and I must say I enjoyed it a lot.

Of course it is not up to me to write a review on this book. But what I can do is tell you when this book might be a good buy for you:
 

• You're an advanced user of Excel
• You record a macro on occasion (or maybe you have never done so but are curious what this is about)
• You have little to no knowledge of VBA

To give you an idea of what is covered in this book Wiley kindly permitted me to make a chapter available for download:

Excel 2007 VBA Programming FD Sample (Chapter 2) 03 April 2007, 709k.
