Summary: Simple but you still need a lot of practice
Comment: The book is very intuitive and easy to understand but you still need a ton of practice to be a pro with macros.
Overall the book it is pretty good

Summary: This man IS a :"Nice Guy"
Comment: I have not purchased the book - yet. But, I have purchased other of his books and found them to be well written, helpful and a good learning experience. As the reviewer before me mentions - that he seems to be a nice guy - I can vouch for that. Several years ago, I contacted him about geting a version of his Add-ons disk. Even though I did not purchase anything or even indicate I would purchase anything - he offered me a few bucks off the quoted price. This is a man who teaches because he loves it from what I have seen and experienced. It is NOT all about the money for him. If there was a definition for Excel God in the dictionary, his picture would be next to it. Enough said.

Summary: It's by John Walkenbach, It's Great
Comment: When all is said and done, John Walkenbach only has three things going for him:
One, he really knows what he is talking about. While this is a For Dummies book, and doesn't go down really into the Power Programming (that's another of his books) level, they couldn't have gotten a more knowledgeable person to write it. You can take what he says in the book (or on the books companion web site just in case a typo made it through the editing system) as something handed down on stone tablets.
Second, he really knows how to convey the information he has. I find his writing style to be well laid out, informative, almost a pleasure to read (true pleasure I associate with good Science Fiction, not any computer book).
Third, he really seems to be a nice guy. While I've never met him, the home page on his web site (given at the very beginning of the book) has a has a link - Send e-mail to John Walkenbach. On a couple of occassions, I've had a reason to send him an e-mail asking a question. He's answered promptly, curteously and save me a whole bunch of time.
If you want a quick and rapid introduction to macros or VBA programming (in Excel these are the same thing), something that will get you started, this is an excellent choice. As you become a power user, buy his Power Programming with VBA book, and indeed his other Excel books.
