Format:Paperback
If you are an intermediate Excel user and want to progress, then this book is definitely worth taking a closer look at. Besides being well presented the book can be read mothodicaly or used as a quick reference.
A word of caution: The book tells you a litle about everything and alot about nothing. I found the formula examples to be quite basic and uninsped. The book told you how to set up and organise your macros's but gave litle or no insight on how to create them.
Serious Excel users would most benefit from buying this book in conjuntion with another that specailes in functions and or VBA depending on your requirements.
Overall the book gets a thumbs up.

Amazingly comprehensive and relevant.
11 July 2001
Format:Paperback
Unlike lots of tech books which just take you thru the menus and cmds, this book actually teaches you how to use Excel's finer points in the context of real-world business applications. I found the explanation of pivot tables and the concrete examples employed to be the best I've encountered. The tips on charting have definitely improved the appearance of my reporting products. The reference section on functions comprehensive and something I frequently refer to. Highly recommended.

Book Not Easy to Use
15 May 2002
Format:Paperback
I have been using Special Edition books for years in my computer teaching. I was very dissatisfied with this edition and won't use it for my next class.
For example:
Numerous tables enumerate methods of navigating in a presentation, keyboard shortcuts. The header row on each table is incomplete. The titles on the header rows contain just a few letters, leaving the reader guessing at what the author means.
Instead of directing the reader to a specific page as the prior version's book did, we are left with see chapter so and so.
Organization Charts are barely covered, instead they are lumped in with other types of charts. Very skimpy directions.

A great reference for Excel
30 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
I've purchased a library of guides for different applications over the past two years and I now own 2 Special Edition Books... If you want to go to the next level with Excel this is the book. It has detailed function, chart, and list management coverage and is worth checking out... A great book.. Thanks
