I've been writing macros for about a total of two months within the past year. I have never written code before, and have never taken a formal programming class (I don't count HTML real programming). And I have never been good at advanced math.
I generally regard myself as a smart guy, but I admit that I am not that creative. My analytical side is way more developed than my creative side. I often struggle mightily writing the most simple code not because I don't know what needs to happen, I simply cannot put to code my thoughts. I get through most of it by being resourceful (here :D ), patient, and having a strong desire to succeed.
In that span I've created some pretty awesome macros to help my team at work. VBA is definitely a means to an end. Thanks to the many here that has helped me tremendously.
Enough babbling by me. VBA is coming to me very slowly. I learn bits and pieces all the time, but I know I cant learn something specifically unless I am tasked to do it. At this rate, it feels like it will be forever before I get comfortable doing it.
How long did it take you guys who didn't have prior programming experience before it all came together for you and "clicked"? Am I just slow, or is it normal for this stuff to take time before you fully understand it?
