new to VBA

[joe2324]

Hello, I need to learn VBA for my job and i've been doing a lot of studying over the last week and I had a few questions. First, I currently work as a reporting analyst using T-SQL and oracle pl/sql and I'm finding that excel VBA is very complicated. I started looking at my longest and most complicated sql queries and they are nothing compared to some of basic VBA scripts I've seen. I'm currently using a book from John Walkenbach which is pretty good for the moment. The main reason I need to learn VBA is i'm moving into an accounting role as an analyst and the job requires lots of VBA work so I need to learn as much as possible.

My question is how long did it take most of you to learn VBA? How come everyone everyone says VBA is so easy to learn when it clearly has a learning curve. Like I said, I find my most complicated SQL queries to be nothing compared to some of the excel vba I've looked at. Hopefully this wont take that long to master.
