Financial Analysis and Excel

Good afternoon all:

I currently do a lot of financial/sales analysis and live in Excel all day long. I am pretty quick and can do some cool stuff with formulas and basic macros. I have a very good understanding of functions.

I am pondering whether or not it would be of any real use for me to learn VBA and some basic coding. (Computer programming is NOT my thing...)

Does anyone else in the financial field find VBA useful in modeling or analysis? And if so, if you could point me in a good direction as far as where to learn (books, websites) the basics that could benefit me, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks

Well that answers one of my three questions I posed. So thank you for responding.

However, I'm still wondering about user's experience with financial modeling and VBA specifically. Does the latter enhance the first? Any specific examples/scenarios?

Primarily looking for some friendly discussion on the topic as opposed to a "go research elsewhere" response. If I am posting in the wrong area for that or my OP was misleading I certainly apologize.
