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.</P> <UL> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Learn VBA syntax as easy-to-understand English</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Automate Excel’s power tools: Pivot Tables, Charts, Advanced Filters</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Save hours per week by automating redundant tasks</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Create applications built on top of Excel with custom dialog boxes</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Automatically produce hundreds of Excel reports in seconds</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Understand how changes in Excel 2007 impact your VBA macros</DIV> </LI> </UL> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Introduction   1</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">1 Unleash the Power of Excel with VBA      7</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">2 This Sounds Like BASIC, So Why Doesn’t It Look Familiar?       29 </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">3 Referring to Ranges 61 </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">4 User-Defined Functions     75</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">5 Looping and Flow Control   101</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">6 R1C1-Style Formulas        121</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">7 What’s New in Excel 2007 and What's Changed  135</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">8 Create and Manipulate Names in VBA      143</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">9 Event Programming 155</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">10 UserForms--An Introduction       177</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">11 Creating Charts    197</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">12 Data Mining with Advanced Filter          249</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">13 Using VBA to Create Pivot Tables         281</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">14 Excel Power         337</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">15 Data Visualizations and Conditional Formatting  373</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">16 Reading from and Writing to the Web              393</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">17 XML in Excel 2007 413</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">18 Automating Word  421</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">19 Arrays       441</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">20 Text File Processing    449</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">21 Using Access as a Back End to Enhance Multi-User Access to Data   461</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">22 Creating Classes, Records, and Collections       477</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">23 Advanced UserForm Techniques  493</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">24 Windows Application Programming Interface (API)       517</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">25 Handling Errors     529</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">26 Customizing the Ribbon to Run Macros   543</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">27 Creating Add-Ins  569</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Index  577</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>
