The old 80/20 rule for software-that 80% of a program's users use only 20% of a program's features-doesn't apply to Microsoft Excel. Read the first page

So much better than online help!

Format:Paperback
I got a copy of this book through a publisher I work with and think it's amazing. The author does a great job of making formulas and functions accessible and practical for the reader in a way that the online help is unable to do. Each description of a function comes with practical and interesting examples of how to apply what you've learned. This new series from Que is going to be a great addition to their lineup.

A Warning Regarding the ODDL... and ODDF... Bond Functions
16 Sep 2004
By kxxxk
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book to get the definitions of the ODDF... and ODDL... bond functions used in Excel, as the mathematical definitions of both these functions and the parameters used in them, as given in the MS Excel 2000 Help topics, are missing a crucial 10% of the needed text. Unfortunately, there are major errors in concept in the discussion of the Excel ODDL... and ODDF... bond functions in this book (July 2004 printing). The author appears to have guessed at how these functions are to be used and at the meaning of certain parameters used by these functions, and guessed horribly wrong. He has communicated to me that any changes to be made will be made on release of the next edition. I have no reason to believe that any other material in the book is incorrect. (A rating was required for this warning to be submitted.)

An excellent buy for experienced users

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book provides insights regarding everyday functions, which you didn't know. The author explains each step thoroughly, however nothing can replace the knowledge you gain by trying it yourself. Nevertheless, its a very interesting book that helps you gain more solid knowledge about almost every formula in excel which you are already using or interested about.
