Introduction Greetings, prospective Excel programmer . . . Thanks for buying my book. I think you’ll find that it offers a fast, enjoyable way to discover the ins and outs of Microsoft Excel programming. Even if you don’t have the foggiest idea of what programming is all about, this book can help you make Excel jump through hoops in no time (well, it will take some time). Unlike most programming books, this one is written in plain English, and even normal people can understand it. Even better, it’s filled with information of the “just the facts, ma’am” variety — and not the drivel you might need once every third lifetime. Is This the Right Book? Go to any large bookstore and you’ll find many Excel books (far too many, as far as I’m concerned). A quick overview can help you decide whether this book is really right for you. This book ✓ Is designed for intermediate to advanced Excel users who want to get up to speed with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming. ✓ Requires no previous programming experience. ✓ Covers the most commonly used commands. ✓ Is appropriate for Excel 2007 or Excel 2010. ✓ Just might make you crack a smile occasionally — it even has cartoons. If you are using Excel 2000, XP, or 2003, this book is not for you. Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 are very different from previous versions. If you’re still using a pre-2007 version of Excel, locate a book that is specific to that version.
