Visual Basic 1

[peglor]

Where do people recommend I look to find useful tutorials in Visual Basic on the Web/Elsewhere?

I don't know if this is the right forum to use, but since many people posting to it are writing macros in Visual Basic and my main reason for learning Visual Basic is to program macros, I'm hoping some relevant help will be available.

As it stands I regularly use the more complex commands in Excel, and have written some software in Fortran/MatLab/LabVIEW, so I understand the basics of programming. I've got to the stage where I'd like to be able to customise things a bit more in Excel and I'm looking for a good introduction to this area.

There are many online websites dedicated to helping people learn VBA. What really helped my was going through sample problems. I bought Excel 2000 Power Programming With VBA by John Walkenbach... it is really helpful and was several examples. The good thing about buying a book is that it starts with the basics, which are sometimes glossed over on web pages. I think he has a website, if you're interested (an internet search should find it).

Good Luck!

Check out

http://www.fontstuff.com/excel/index.htm

Tutorials delivered in a good, make-sense style, especially for making your own functions which was the easiest way for me to start using Visual Basic since very little of the "visual" stuff is required.

I am in the same boat as you, peglor. I am comfortable with programming and have been searching for some Visual Basic tutorials for Excel.

I found the following sites to be the most helpful:

I have found a web site that is very helpful. It is called Mr. Excel. Just do a search on the name and it will probably point you to the site. They have a very good forum and Mr. Excel offers books that have some excellent information.
