Customer Reviews

Excellent Book For Beginners
Never used Excel before? Don't worry. This book shows you how to create your own spreadsheets in no time. It covers everything from entering data and using formulas to formatting and printing spreadsheets, working with multiple worksheets, and creating graphs with the chart wizard. Perfect for beginners!

I can't find anything on pivot tables
I already knew almost everything in this book, so I was disappointed when it arrived and I started looking through it. I ordered it hoping it would give me a simple explanation "for dummies" on what pivot tables are and how to create/work with them. They're not even listed in the index!

This book is great at covering all the very basic how-tos for someone who's never worked with Excel before; but it doesn't delve deeply enough into what the program can really do.

Just a Manual
This is just a version of the manual without any sample exercises or anything. If that's all you need, its fine. I needed a tutorial with exercises, sample data to play with, etc. I found just what I was looking for in "Excel Personal Trainer 2003" which includes a cd with a lot of sample sheets and step-by-step exercises. In that book, the tutorial loads by itself but you have to manually copy over the sample spreadsheets.

BTW, I am actually using Quattro Pro 10 from Corel/Wordperfect but most things are the same or close enough to figure out.
