Product Description

Product Description
Just because electronic spreadsheets like Excel 97 have become almost as commonplace on today′s personal computers as word processors and games doesn′t mean that they′re well understood or well used. In fact, many computer users – even those well versed in the art of writing and editing in Microsoft Word – have little or no idea of what they could or should do in Excel.

Do you fall into that category? If so, rest assured – you′re not alone. Excel is a great organizer for all types of data, be they numeric, textual, or otherwise. Because the program has loads of built–in calculating capabilities, most people turn to Excel when they need to set up financial spreadsheets and create fancy reports with charts and graphs. But those aren′t the only things Excel can do, and Excel 97 For Windows For Dummies can help you discover all the cool things you can do with Excel.

Written in a breezy, easy–to–understand style by veteran Dummies author Greg Harvey, Excel 97 For Windows For Dummies is the perfect resource for anyone who uses Excel, whether you′re new to spreadsheets or you′ve been using them for a while and want to pick up some additional pointers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Technophobe creates beautiful spreadsheet on first try!, 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Believe me, I do not delve into new software with eager anticipation and great optimism. Never having worked with a spreadsheet, I thought I was in for a frustrating, drawn out process in trying to learn Excel from a book. I quickly read through the first two chapters (delighted to realize that I already knew a bit of what was being presented)and sat down to create a perfect spreadsheet, replete with formulae and formatting! It was such a thrill to add this powerful ally to my bag of tricks that even after I had completed the work task at hand, I continued to read and play with the features. Fear not. Jump right in with Excel for Dummies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pivot Tables not covered!, 20 May 2002
By A Customer
I have just taken delivery of the book and enthusiastically opened it up....but can't find anything about pivot tables! - which was the reason I purchased the book (for work). As there is no 'Advanced Excel 97 for Dummies' I hadn't thought that the topic would not be covered - quite disappointing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, pretty helpful, 25 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Although I have had alot of previous self-taught experience with Excel 97, I found myself flipping through the book and picking up a lot of very useful tips that I was unaware of. After going through the book, I realized that the Excel software had a lot more room for potential and creativity than I was previously unaware of.
