Which book would be the best to use in order to start to learn vba for Excel from scratch?

I've looked around and there seems to be three main ones:

  • O'Reilly - Writing Excel Macros with VBA
    Excel VBA Programming for Dummies
    MrExcel- VBA and Macros for Excel

Any one better than the rest?

Cheers

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Heh...you're leaving out "VBA and Macros for Microsoft Excel," the one that is propably being advertised at the top of your screen right now...I'm still re-reading the first few chapters, but it's the most accessible of the several VBA books I have. Mr. Excel on Excel is awesome but it's not, for the most part, about VBA.

check out www.vbaexpress.com for an actual training and certification course, in addition to the great help with vba in many applications. Some where around here are several links discussing the various books for learning vba.
