**live2aid** · 12-09-2009, 02:53 AM

Hi All,
I am really glad that you people spare your precious time helping us and the way you solve so many problems regarding excel and macros.

Pls tell me how and where to learn macros from basics and to proceed further.

If possible pls suggest some ebooks, online classes or websites. If its for free of cost, it will be an added advantage.

It would be very helpful for me and to others by reading this post as others also can learn from this.

I want to help others just like you people do. you are experts in macros.

I am good at programming and know some visual basic concepts as I work on LoadRunner and the script generated is VB script.

I will be looking forward for favorable reply.

Thanks in advance.

I have VBA for dummies and it really helps with the basics. Pretty cheap on amazon also.

I found plenty of books with same title "VBA for dummies" but different authors. Pls suggest me which one to try.

Thanks in advance.
