Re: [ExcelVBA] Re: An Easy (?) Question

 

Hello,
 
I think a book is a good start. You already understand looping, if/then and much already with your background. A book to start with is very useful.
 
Thanks,
David

Books haven't helped me much. I go to Google with a carefully worded
question to solve a specific part of an algorithm. There's no better source
for VBA help that I know of.

Thanks all for your suggestions. In fact I have used the macro recorder to
create a macro, and then modified it, but it's always with a hope and a
prayer. I was thinking that studying a book might put my knowledge on a
firm foundation. By the way, I'm using Excel 2007.

experience has been in "classical" languages like Fortran, COBOL, and, if
anyone remembers it, PL1. As a result, when I read in VBA help statements
like "The Range property returns a Range object" my head spins.
