You are an expert in Excel, but the macro recorder doesn’t work and you can’t make heads or tails out of the recorded code. If this is you, buy this book. Macros that you record today might work today but not tomorrow. Recorded macros might handle a dataset with 14 records but not one with 12 or 16 records. These are all common problems with the macro recorder that unfortunately cause too many Excel gurus to turn away from writing macros. This book shows you why the macro recorder fails and the steps needed to convert recorded code into code that will work every day with every dataset. The book assumes that you know Excel well, but there is no need for prior programming experience. This book describes everything you could conceivably need to know to automate reports and design applications in Excel VBA. Whether you want to automate reports for your office or design full-blown applications for others, this book is for you.
- Learn VBA syntax as easy-to-understand English
- Automate Excel’s power tools: Pivot Tables, Charts, Advanced Filters
- Save hours per week by automating redundant tasks
- Create applications built on top of Excel with custom dialog boxes
- Automatically produce hundreds of Excel reports in seconds
- Understand how changes in Excel 2007 impact your VBA macros

Excellent Excel/VBA resource,
This review is from: VBA and Macros for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Paperback)
This book was very helpful for some projects that I needed to accomplish with Excel & VBA. Some of the chapters were extremely enlightening in seeing the big picture of using VBA with Excel and other MS Office applications. Other chapters are excellent resources that I will refer to many times in the future. I would recommend this book for both the beginner (in using VBA) as well as the experienced VBA user.

Just adequate, By R. Shackelford (Middletown, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VBA and Macros for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Paperback)
I find the book simply adequate.I spent a while looking through books on VBA for Excel 2007 and I chose the Jelen/Syrstad title because is was not one of big fat programming guides. I feel there aren't enough examples provided in the book and the examples from their website are mostly a repeat of the book. I find working with Excel to develop a automatic report a daunting task; the built-in help is nearly worthless, the on-line help is a hit or miss, and that's after I've looked through the book. I guess I'll be looking for a big fat programming guide with more chart development and, hopefully, one that covers Data Connections and SQL. I have carefully read through the first 12 chapters before I started my project and I find the information easy to understand and straight forward. If, however, one tries to develop code outside of the examples provided, the frustration level increases.

This review is from: VBA and Macros for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Paperback)
I've really enjoyed this book. I had a very basic understanding of VBA prior to purchasing this book; and while I certainly wouldn't consider myself an advanced user at this point, the book has been wonderful at explaining the syntax of code. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to sit down and read the book all the way through. If I had, I believe I would be a better programmer for having done it. Mainly, I use the book for reference when I'm coding macros at work. The book is laid out well so when I run into an issue it's easy to flip to the index and find roughly what I'm looking for. The online component of the book is nice as well - adding even further resources to users. Overall, I would recommend the book to anyone looking to learn more about VBA or to those simply wanting a reference guide.
