What it does
Core purpose
Excel 2019 Power Programming with VBA is fully updated to cover all the latest tools and tricks of Excel 2019. Encompassing an analysis of Excel application development and a complete introduction to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), this comprehensive book presents all of the techniques you need to develop both large and small Excel applications.
Where it sits
Power Programming with VBA belongs to the Books family of VBA community tools. It is listed on the community-maintained awesome-vba index and is actively used by Microsoft Office automation developers.
How to get it
Source location
Full source, documentation, and release notes are maintained at wiley.com. Treat that URL as the canonical reference — bugs and feature requests live there.
Installation pattern
For a typical GitHub-hosted VBA library: download the .bas, .cls, or .frm files from the repository, then in the VBA editor (Alt + F11) use File → Import File… to bring each module into your project. Save the host document as .xlsm, .accdb, or .docm so macros are retained.
When to use it
Best fit
Reach for Power Programming with VBA when your automation needs Books capability and you want a peer-reviewed library rather than rolling your own. The awesome-vba curator reviews inclusions for active maintenance and community support.
Alternatives worth evaluating
Before committing to Power Programming with VBA, browse the other entries in the same Books section of our tools directory — several libraries typically overlap in purpose, and the right pick depends on your Office version, 32- vs 64-bit target, and licensing needs.
