Customer Reviews

There's tons of useful information in this book.
I use Excel at work all the time and this book is always within an arm's reach. The formulas and functions chapters are especially helpful -- as are the ones on PivotTables, building Macros, and sharing data with other programs. If you're only going to buy one book on Excel, buy this one!

Excel 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies
Excel 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies is a great overall book for Excel 2003. It will get you going on Excel 2003 even if you have a minimal amount of experience in Excel. Introduces you to formulas, charts, pivot tables and other subjects that most people need in order to fully utilizing the power of Excel. Written very well and easy to understand.

No examples
I've read quite a few computer how-to books. I prefer to learn by example, which this book offers very little of. Rather than showing you how to do something, this book tells you how to do it in a long drawn out process.
I could not figure out how to use the advanced filter command with this book. I checked out the Excel 2003 Bible from the library and I was able to use this feature within 5 minutes. Do not buy this book!
