Book Description
Designed for accounting and other business professionals, this guide to Microsoft Excel provides information on this feature-rich product that will make users more proficient. Described in detail are the techniques that were introduced since the switch from Lotus to Excel took place in the 1990s. Tips designed to make Excel use more efficient include how to prevent duplicate data entry, deleting unwanted links, importing and refreshing data from the Internet, and adding a running balance column to a pivot table. Other advanced techniques include combining the Vlookup function with a combo box to extract data, comparing lists without using formulas, and adding comments to formulas. Also included are instructions on features such as formulas that calculate loan payments, writing a program, and VBA techniques.

 Better reference guide than tutorial February 23, 2005

This book, errors and all, can be used very effectively as a reference guide and for problem solving on occasion. As a tutorial this book suffers from poor organization and scenario development. The overall impression is that you are never quite sure of what you are doing - or why - until you have finished.
Look at this book for tips and tricks - learn Excel somewhere else.
 Poorly orgainzed October 31, 2004

The authoer seemed to have written the book baed on what he knows, but not based on the user-friendly level. I found this book very hard to follow and there is a lot of example I was trying to follow, I just couldn't find the options on my computer.
Some Useful Ideas September 22, 2004
Eric Eskin (Wilmington, DE USA)
An average book for Excel tips. My major frustration with this book was the writing. The authors go into excrutiating step-by-step detail of how to implement various Excel solutions. Additionally, the authors fail to adequately "set-up" the task at hand. In other words, the time spent on telling one how to do something is much too long as compared to telling them "why" to do something. I find the books which achieve this to be the most valuable. If you want to add another reference book to your Excel collection, this book has its place. However, I would purchase "Excel Hacks" first.
 Very poorly written September 20, 2004

Poorly organized, not clear, and quite confusing at times. Don't waste your time and money on a book that you'll surely return.
There are other great choices here!
Full Of Errors! September 12, 2004

This books, albeit in the beginning was straightforward, gets loaded with errors when you begin to learn combo boxes in Ch. 23. The exercises from the website and the directions from the chapter do not match up and it gets difficult to decipher when developing validation lists and reports. NEEDS SERIOUS REWORK AND ALONG WITH A FRICKEN REFUND!!
