Customer Reviews

This book Saved me in my new job
I am in the middle of getting an MBA, and I have a six month internship at one of the top 3 consulting firms in the world. I used to be a chef, so my excel knowledge stopped at simple formulas. I brought the CD-ROM with me to work, and taught myself pivot tables in about 10 minutes with this book. I was amazed at how simple this book made the process. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't just want to be told how to do something, but needs to refernce and practice a skill to truly master it. This truly is a bible for excel use. halleluiah!!

EXCEL
Highly Recommended for those who desire to develop advanced EXCEL skills. I've essentially taught myself using the "Bible" Series.

Great Resource
