Also, thank you for your Amazon reviews of Oracle books. I print them and keep them with the reviewed books for reference. I study your 2 chapters in Expert Oracle Practices too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Steve,

Thanks for the comment.

I thought that it might be odd to see a handful of Excel book reviews mixed in with a fairly long series of Oracle Database related books, so I have not formally reviewed any of those books.

In 2009 I purchased 3 books on the topic of Visual Basic programming in Excel.
Excel 2007 Power Programming with VBA
http://www.amazon.com/Excel-Power-Programming-Spreadsheets-Bookshelf/dp/0470044012

Professional Excel Development: The Definitive Guide
http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Excel-Development-Definitive-Applications/dp/0321262506

Pro Excel 2007 VBA
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Excel-2007-Experts-Voice/dp/1590599578

The first two of the above books are very good, and seemed to cover a lot of ground without too much overlap between the topics of the books (the second book targets Excel 2003, but the examples worked fine in the 2007 version of Excel).  The third book was a disappointment - written by a couple of authors with just a couple of years experience working with Excel.  The third book was very short, and seemed to cover only the basics - items that you could discover yourself just by experimenting with Excel and reading an occasional example found in the Excel programming help manual.

I hope what I provided above helps.]]></description>
