 Step by Step Excel 2003 May 14, 2008
A great book for review, concise,and easy to read. Provides one with multiple shortcuts and practical ideas.
 Microsoft does it again February 22, 2008
As with many Microsoft products, this book comes very close to being a useful tool, but fails because of the lack of attention to the little details.
The first place you see this in the book is the Microsoft Office Specialist Skills Standards section.
Each of the skills tested for on the MOS exam are identified by their Skill Number and description, and a page number directs you to that skill. That's the theory. About 20% of the time, the phrase is mentioned on that page with no detailed explanation or there is no mention at all. That is just sloppy proofreading.
As has been mentioned in other reviews, the instructions in many sections are wrong. Either there are flaws in a formula or a description of the results does not match what you see on the screen.
In at least one section, the spreadsheet used to illustrate the problem is not the one that you are instructed to open for that task.
The section on XML was useful simply because it seems to be one of the few available. But even here, there are flaws in instructions and a disconnect between what you see on the screen and what you are told you should be seeing.
The best thing you can do with this book is go to the library and photocopy the Microsoft Office Specialist Skills Standards section. At least you will know what you should be studying and you can find it in better written books or online.
 Excel 2003 Step by Step Review October 3, 2007
This book was a solid introduction to Excel 2003. I have used Excel since about 2000 and found the first parts of the text to be information I already knew. Even so, I went through every single exercise and picked up a few shortcuts - mainly right click tips along the way. The introduction to PivotTables was helpful. Also, importing and exporting data is a good introduction. Toward the end of the text, as expected, the exercises get a little more challenging. The breadth of the text is good. I'd recommend for beginners. The back of the book says for Beginning to Intermediate users, which is accurate. There are very few typos in the text. Opted to buy Excel 2003 Inside Out for more advanced Excel knowledge.
Great book to update your knowledge of Excel September 22, 2007
I think this is one of the best books you can buy to update or improve your knowledge of Excel. I feel confident that even a novice could learn how to use Excel.
Best Excel Training Book June 20, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book was required by the University of Tennessee's MBA Program to get those who were not experienced with Excel to an experienced user level. I considered myself an intermediate user before the program; however, the book was an excellent supplement to the program. Frye does a great job of illustrating click-for-click moves along with graphics--in addition, the CD included really helps bring the learning home.
