Hi John,

You may wish to visit David McRitchie's 'Getting Started With Macros And
User Defined Functions' at:

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm


You might also look at David's tutorials page at:

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel....htm#tutorials

The VBA material is towards the end of that section.

I am trying to build a very simple loop to compare columns of data in
excel.
I am not an experienced programmer but I am trying to learn enough to
write
this code. The problem is, none of the examples in online tutorials match
the software menu options in the Visual Basic Editor I open through the
tools/macro submenu. For example, the tutorial may recommend opening the
file menu and selecting new program, but in the tutorial this option does
not
even exist. Furthermore, any code I have attempted to write, even when it
is
directly copied from very basic examples, crashes from syntax errors. Are
there tutorials that match the Excel module of VB so that I can get
started??
