Hey,
Anyone know of a good site/PDF/anything online that I can use to learn visual basics ( I have never used it before so something for beginners)
Thanks a lot!

Try Deitel's How to program VBA. It's a great book.

Thanks everyone, I ended up picking up "VBA for Modelers - developing decision support systems with microsoft excel" by S.Christian Albright. So far it seems great, but its really for beginners.

Specializing on Excel macros? I assumed you needed pure VBA that's why I suggested Deitel.

True, I didn't specify that I was interested specifically in excel. I have just been dealing with excel lately and it would just be so much easier if I could program it to do everything rather than do it manually..also so I know there aren't any mistakes.
Thanks for your help tho Tstone

Best way to learn that is to record macro, do what you want in Excel and see the code generated by that macro.

For specifically excel, these books are good:

http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Excel-Macros-VBA-2nd/dp/0596003595

If you are limited in time, it's a common practice to take some of numerous number of tutorials or online lessons freely available:
