Good Books to Learn Programming for Excel

**jadown** · 04-10-2012, 02:50 PM

Hello, all. I wanted to know if there are any good books or online references that I can get to learn Programming for Excel. The majority of my job deals with finance. So I need to be able to develop code for reporting and code to access Access databases. It's so many books out there and so many websites. But I need a book that has the bases of all of VBA and something with sample problems that I can practice what I went over in each chapter. I think that will help.

Let me know!

Thanks again for all of you all's help.

Hard to answer because it is similar to faith - there is one Bible but a lot of Gospel - only one is for sure, you can start with any book but you need a lot of work to be a good programmer.

this should be good book: http://books.google.pl/books?id=dtSd...s_similarbooks
I saw few book wrote by John Walkenbach and all them were good enough for start

I'm not much help, but I'm in a similar position. I've written COBOL code for 25 years, but VBA is a completely different animal. I own a business, and would like to write some EXCEL and ACCESS beyond your basic spreadsheet and Access forms. But I don't even know where to start.

I have found the EXCEL 2007 by Jelen (Que books) to be a good book, but doesn't cover programming.

Just me 2 cents.

For me personally, I learned everything from this forum and Macro recorder and Google.com

Hi guys, I too was in a similar situation about a year ago, when I found this book by John Walkenbach - "Excel 2007 power: programming with VBA by John Walkenbach"
This book has changed by perspective towards Excel !
