Is Excel Vba Popular In Your Country

Are there any Excel VBA developers in the house?
I need to know how Excel VBA is doing in Nigeria in particular, in Europe, its hot cake, especially if you are working in the financial sector, its more common with Traders and Banks.
I think so many people have unsdersetimated the Power of Excel. It looks easy and just as simple application like word but its not.
I work for a big Oil and Gas company here in the uK and my excel spreadsheet that i support and develop saves them multi millions of pounds in Operation.

Do you have any opinion on Excel Vba or have u got any experience with it

To be quite honest, i have never heard anyone talk about Excel vba in Nigeria before.
i just wanted to be sure, but it looks as if its true, Excel Vba is not popularly used in the finance sector in Nigeria

Nope (as far as I know).Truth is, personally, I used to under rate the POWER of Excel.But I have come to know better.Under the hood, Microsoft had incorporated Powerful stuff such that you can turbo charge your Spreadsheets with great pep-up features. Infact I am of the personal conviction that Microsoft had done some great job with this Application Program (Excel)-Plz Note I am not a Microsoft employee!.
Excel prog becomes very easy when you already know VB.However it comes with a fairly reduced GUI set to work with.
I also grad with a major in Applied Geophysics but It would not deter me from learning how to do some shy stuff wity Excel (LOL).
For example you can come here and see the result a 'few' days attempt,

Please also note (If applicable) that apart from being able to use the mere spreadsheet interface,You actually would have access to the OS's  API through the use of the GUI based RAD environment installed for the wriring of PROGRAMME CODE we call macros,
