Books on Excel

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

There is just one book here for now, more will folllow.

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:

Hi Karel,

I have seen also EXCEL 2007 power programming with VBA. Author John Walkenbach. Now i see another one "Excel 2007 VBA programming for dummies written by the same author. Which one is good for a beginner. I bought so far two books but they are not really what i am looking for.

Cheers,
Nasser.

Hi Nasser,
