You really don't need to learn a programming language to become good w/ excel. I know enough VBA to write some macros but rarely use it.

I think my goal is to learn a language so that I can be familiar with it probably not even use it. I have just seen a lot of financial jobs that want someone who can at least understand what they are looking at. But they are vague about what exactly they want you to know.

Most of the people I know that use VBA in excel just create exceedingly complicated spreadsheets that serve no function and could have easily been created with some clever ingenuity within the basic framework of excel.
