Learn excel from MrExcel

[brothercarl]

Hi there
To save you time I will ask both of my questions here.
First:
Several months ago I subscribed to view one of the chapters in your book to see if it was something that I could use to not only learn excel but also it's vba code, I've tried other books to no avail since I am a hands on type rather than learning from a lecturer, but unfortunately I still have not been able to view any chapters to see if the book will help me. Any thoughts.
Secondly:
I have itunes on my computer and was receiving your daily podcasts but when I upgraded to a newer version of itunes I am no longer able to now receive them.
Any help on resolving these two lssues would be greaqtly appreciated.

I love your web site it has been a big help to me. Thank you

Hi Rev,

For the free chapters, they definitely will not help you learn VBA, because the free chapter promotion is for Learn Excel from MrExcel, a book which only discusses using Excel through the interface, not with VBA.

You should be receiving an e-mail every Tuesday. If you have a spam filter, you need to allow mails from FreeBook@MrExcel.com. When the mail arrives on Tuesday, there is a link at the bottom to see all of the past chapters. The chapters arrived in a zip format. You can open the zip format using any unzipping tool such as the one from www.Winzip.com. Finally, the chapters are in PDF format. You can download a free PDF reader from www.Adobe.com. Use the "Get Adobe Reader" button on the left side of the page.

For iTunes, upgrading to a new version should not affect your podcast subscriptions. Try these steps instead:
1) In the Source window, click on Podcasts.
2) Look for the heading for Learn Excel from MrExcel Video Podcast.
3) In the column to the left of the heading, click on the exclamation point.
4) A message will pop up saying that iTunes quit downloading this podcast because you failed to listen to five consecutive episodes. Click Yes in order to have iTunes resume downloading.
If this is the situation, then iTunes only downloads the most recent podcast, but gives you a list of the ones you missed. You can click the GET button for the ones that sound interesting.
