More About the Author

I spent twelve years 'in the trenches', working as a financial analyst for finance, accounting, marketing and operations departments of a $500 million company. Armed with a half-rate reporting tool and a spreadsheet, I was responsible for turning large amounts of data into analyses for the board room quickly and accurately. Working originally in Lotus 1-2-3 and then Microsoft Excel, I honed techniques to take massive amounts of data and produce meaningful reports in record time. These techniques are spelled out in Guerilla Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel.

In 1998, I launched MrExcel.com, which is now one of the three most popular Excel websites with 21 million annual page views. Being MrExcel is now my full-time gig. My team has developed custom applications for hundreds of clients around the world. I enjoy entertaining a room full of accountants with my 'Power Excel' seminar.

When I am not Excelling, you can find me and the family under the stars enjoying a movie at one of the many drive-in theaters that still dot northeast Ohio or kayaking on the Mogadore Resevoir.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent VBA Resource, and I've seen them all!, July 21, 2004
By 
This review is from: VBA and Macros for Microsoft Excel (Paperback)
I have never been able to grasp the concepts of VBA. I believe in VBA and its ability to supercharge Office applications, but could never seem to learn even Excel VBA, which is supposed to be the easiest. This is the first book I've read (yes, I've read the Romans and the Walkenbachs) that made any sense to me at all. Too many books approach VBA as if you have already learned how to code in other programs. I came to VBA from the Office user side of things. I don't have that *programming* brain required to pick up VBA easily. So this book has been a godsend. While I've only read about half the book so far, so many things that escaped me are finally falling into place. Thanks very much to Bill and Tracy for a terrific VBA resource!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for all, May 15, 2005
By

This review is from: VBA and Macros for Microsoft Excel (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for all levels. The book contains some minor typo and error in the code but you can download all the correct code files from the publisher's website. If you keep working along with book, you will soon be able to create macro (or modify the book's macro) that save you hours of time. I highly recommend reading Chapter 14: Reading from and Writing to the web. It contains code that you can extract data from the web, it is also the main reason why I bought this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Mastering VBA in Excel, July 19, 2004
By 
Jay (Rockville, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VBA and Macros for Microsoft Excel (Paperback)
This book is extremely helpful! My knowledge and understanding of VBA and Excel have skyrocketed after reading. Sections like "5 easy tips for cleaning up recorded code" are fantastic to the beginner. It covers tons of material in a concise, effective manner so that you can start writing advance code immediately. The book is not only for beginners though. While some examples are easy to understand, others are very challenging. There are many advanced sections of the book that I'm totally not ready for now but will be in the future. I read one other Microsoft book on VBA in Excel that centered around specific examples on a CD and this book blows it away. This book gives you much more general, useful knowledge on how to write code, in all areas of Excel. If you are looking for a VBA reference book, this is a good one. It might not be the only book you will need (I also have Roman's book--and have found it useful to have 2 books for referencing), but it is well written and you will learn a lot on the way to mastering VBA in Excel.
