In finance? The answer is likely 100,000s. JDV, for one, sez it’s da bomb. Others consider it a necessary evil for advanced Excel work. (While others consider Excel itself a necessary evil.) If you search ‘vba’ on this site you’ll find no shortage of discussion. I’d say: it’s the quickest tool for many jobs. What’s your challenge?

VB allows me to become a slacker at work Why belabor when a nifty program takes care of all your worries… Lesson - if you are in finance/data intensive job, learn it well and use it often

I do not know much about VB. I wish to get into Equity Research as an analyst or FX trader in a bank. Is it helpful/required in the kind of profiles I am looking for?
