Hi,

I work doing Excel RAD in the back-office of an investment bank in London.
Of the standard Excel functionality our traders seem to like pivot tables for
slicing & dicing data the best.

Our pricing stuff (fixed income & equity) is in the main bespoke stuff built
in-house. For the funkier stuff VBA tends to be the glue as only C++ xll's
will calculate stuff quickly enough.

A book I've been trying to work through recently that is quite good is
'Excel Add-in Development in C/C++' by Steve Dalton. Sadly people keep giving
me work to do ... so I've not made much headway.

Regards,

Chris.
