About the Author
Greg Harvey has authored tons of computer books, the most recent being Excel 2007 For Dummies, Windows Vista For Dummies Quick Reference, and Excel Workbook For Dummies. He started out training business users on how to use IBM personal computers and their attendant computer software in the rough-and-tumble days of DOS, WordStar, and Lotus 1-2-3 in the mid-80s of the last century. After working for a number of independent training firms, he went on to teaching semester-long courses in spreadsheet and database management software at Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
His love of teaching has translated into an equal love of writing. For Dummies books are, of course, his all-time favorites to write because they enable him to write to his favorite audience, the beginner. They also enable him to use humor (a key element to success in the training room) and, most delightful of all, to express an opinion or two about the subject matter at hand.

Excel 2007 for Dummies
Great! Saved us unkown hours of headache. Probably not needed for the real pros, but then it is designed for us dummies and does as advertised.
If you are not up on the latest Escel don't try to figure it out without this book or one like it.

Great Book, and I am no dummy
I know everything about Excel, except Formulas. When my son, the college student, asked for help with Excel, I said sure no problem. He needed help with Excel formulas. I immediately went on Amazon.com and bought Excel 2007 for Dummies. On his first test (after reading and studying the book), he got an 87%! Need I say more..

More than I'll use!
I needed reminders for my fairly minimal use. Phew! 738 pages of info Plus the helpful 39 page index! I'm quickly finding my needed bits and pieces. There is more there than I'll ever need or use. I highly reccommend!
