Customer Reviews

The Best Excel Tool
I have worked with and trained Excel (various versions) for over 10 years. I use this book any time I have to write complicated formulas. I recommend it to anyone who is working with Excel, especially formulas. My copy is very dog-eared and I have so many sticky tabs for frequently referenced sections that it looks like a porcupine book.

I will warn you that using this book may cause you to become an Excel-lover if you aren't already!

Excellent reference
This book is very good for learning your way around Excel and its formulas. I am fairly comfortable in Excel and still found the book extremely useful. There are many formulas that are explained which I did not know existed that have made me much more efficient within the program.

An Exctract From the Author's "Excel Bible"
The Excel "Formulas" book is extractions from the same author's
"Excel Bible" book. Although it's easier to find information in this version, that convenience is not worth the extra cost for less information. I made the mistake of buying this version, while also having the "Bible", so I basically wasted my money.
