Only need macros for excel though..

Any books that someone can suggest me?

Thanks in advance

A place to start is http://spreadsheetpage.com/
Check out John WAlkenbach's book, listed at that web site.

Start with the Power Programming and Formulas books.

Also, http://www.bmsltd.co.uk/ProExcelDev/Default.htm

A quick start, if still published, would be the MSFT Press' Excel VBA Step by Step.

Fellows,
Is there available a CD of Training, like, lynda.com for learning VBA ?
Comments please.

The best books I've ever found is www.google.com and www.vbaexpress.com/forum. First to find the reference to each function/method, second for finding ideas, solutions and testing your skills.

MrExcel.com has some good resources as well for VBA examples. The CD with examples on it is very nice. I think there is a cost associated with it though.

Can anyone help me to grab a free beginners book on EXcel and Access VBA.

Books aren't free. A lot of online material, however, is free. Your best bet is to take a look at the Resources page, where you'll find many helpful sites, free help boards, blogs, etc.

I recommend VBA the bible. It is almost as good as searching information from forum sucha as this one!

VBA won't help much if you do not master.
So you should start by learning those inside out (in interactive mode first), and do not hesitate to try them out, even with Access macros. After that, your VBA will be much simpler to write. I see too often would-be-developers spending lots of time writing code to re-create functionalities that are already built in the product.

Where is a good place to purchase the books?

**Aussiebear** · 07-17-2013, 03:31 PM

Try Amazon

**Cody Wan** · 07-30-2014, 06:14 PM

There is at least one free VBA e-book on Amazon Kindle at the moment (i.e. July 31st)

I think it's worth a look, for beginners.

I found really usefull an online course (with written material attached) on lynda (lynda.com), it was called macros in depth or something like that! really usefull (more than just a book anyway)

**Wheatly** · 04-10-2017, 06:48 AM

There's a few good ones on amazon but they seem very expensive sadly

**Wheatly** · 04-10-2017, 06:51 AM

A friend of mine learnt a lot from Excel 2013 Power Programming with VBA 1st Edition by John Walkenbach. Plus if you don't like it you can refund it through kindle
