A Lot of Interesting Little Points Given Here
6 July 2005
Format:Paperback
There are only a few reasons to get a copy of John Walkenbach's books: One, he knows what he is talking about. His books show an insight far beyond the traditional click here to do this approach. Two, he writes far better than any other Excel writer that I have ever seen. Three, he gives you his e-mail address. He invites comments or suggestions about the book and says that he unfortunately cannot answer specific questions. But on the couple of occassions where I've had questions, I asked and he answered. They were, I think, pretty good questions, it well may be that he can't take the time to answer the simple obvious questions where the answers are in his book.
As the title implies, this book consists of a couple of hundred quick little things that mostly fall into the "I could have done that if I'd only thought that this was what I wanted to do" type. This includes things like wrapping text in a cell.
Some of the other points, like why does Excell take a credit card number and make the last digit a zero, fall into the obvious once you see the explanation.
This is not for the absolute beginner, you need to have some experience with Excell before you realize that you need the information that is here. For the advanced beginner to intermediate or even advanced user, the tips and tricks here will save you time and effort.

Power packed...loaded with useful items.
13 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My only regret is that I didn't get the book sooner. This is a must for any serious Excel user who needs to hone their general skills and improve their efficiency. Efficiency is the name of the game for Excel, because if you're not making use of it's more advanced tools and utlilities, then you are not making the most of the program.
The book is practical in it's examples and in it's explanations. It's a general use book. It's a great spring board to Walkenbach's other, more thoroughly detailed books on charts, formulas, and VBA programming.
Excel is an amazing program that will astound you at what it can do--if only you took the opportunity to discover it's amazing assembly of tools.

The Best Excel Tips & Tricks
18 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
I would recomend this book to anyone who is just learning excel or would like to improve their existing skills. This is not for advanced user. Some intermediate users may find it too basic. I was introduced to his book in one of my computer classes at Cornell University. Since then, I have purchased three more of his excel books.
