Book Description

1 Nov 2008

This book is very, very different to any other computer book you have ever

read. The Smart Method provides an entirely new and better way to learn Excel.

Here are just five of the many ways in which this book is unique:

  • The book will equip you with excellent Excel skills, good enough to

    impress any employer, but it doesn't confuse by attempting to teach skills

    that are not common in the workplace. Only users who have advanced requirements

    need progress to the Expert Skills book.

  • This is the only book that is also available as a low-cost video (DVD).

    Each can be used as a stand-alone product, but together they provide an

    incredibly powerful learning experience.

  • Instruction is logically structured into sessions and lessons. While

    this makes the book ideal for self-instruction, you can also use it to run

    your own, highly effective, adult training courses.

  • Every lesson is presented on two facing sheets of A4 paper (the pages

    are much bigger than in any other Excel book).

  • Each lesson has a sample file that models a real-world business problem.

    You'll immediately appreciate the value and relevance of each skill as it

    is taught.

Both IT professionals and absolute beginners will love this book because

it avoids needless technical jargon and concisely explains everything you need

in a simple and no-nonsense way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great self-study guide 18 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
This book provides an excellent self-study guide for Excel 2007. It is suitable for both beginners and those who wish to become proficient in using Excel in the workplace. The lessons are well presented and easy to follow as each new skill is explained on 2 facing pages of A4. There are revision exercises at the end of each session to allow readers to practice these skills.

Like other readers I am looking forward to Mike Smart's new book "Learn Excel 2007 Expert Skills".

5.0 out of 5 stars Ab Fab Book 27 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I bought this book to try to learn Excel in a short period of time. This book is absolutely brilliant!! It is very easy to follow and downloads are available to help you through it. Every different function of Excel is shown in a double page format and there are assessments for you to take after each block of lessons. I got through this book in one day and I am now an intermediate user of Excel.
If you want to learn Excel this is definitely the book to get!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn the 'Smart' Way. Title says it all. 6 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I am 46 years old and suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, which due to the condition, prevents me from being employed. These books are a way of proving to myself that I DO have something to live for and the ability to learn new things. I have no need whatsoever to learn Excel but am just so pleased to have found the courses and throughly enjoy them.
Do you need to learn Excel?
All I can say is "Get the books, enjoy and before long you will become amazed at how quick you can learn"
