 "Advance" means for DBAs Level July 4, 2008

Ok...guys...I got this book today and I spend all day just to understand how I can apply available files on Author's web site by reading the text at the same time. It's very hard and complicated process!!!! Owww my god!!!! Text is nice, but files are horrible. The way author drives you through his material ... let me say easy: you have to possess some knowledge about SQL Server 2000 and SQL ,and Access ,and about many other aspects of software. Guys on the bottom are correct: this book covers some very comprehensive topics about Excel, but you less likely will use it, which probably most books don't!!!!! This is book for the Computer Science (DBAs) guys...not for people who want to learn some advance functions of Excel (book represent angle of DBA). Don't buy it if you not planning to become DBA or/and you are not DBA, but because I spend money on it I will keep it for the future, just in case. Who knows maybe life will drive to become one of them.
 Help for Business Application Sufferers November 10, 2007

This book is an immense help to someone at a small- to medium-sized company who is laboring to create to create printed reports using their business application's report-writing tools. The author shows you how to use SQL Query to access the database directly from Excel to create electronic reports with drill-down functionality. My users love them, and it is so Lean not to waste people's time re-entering information from a printed report.
The chapters on pivot tables are better than some books devoted entirely to pivot tables.
Very Good... June 15, 2007

This book covers all the tricks I've picked up slogging through trying to create pivot table reports for the company I work for - and then some. Boy, do I wish I had it before I spent all that time.
Clearly written and easy to follow I think this a good book for users of all levels. You do need some knowledge of Excel and SQL - but not as much as you might think.
 Very good quick start guide, focused on reporting April 15, 2007

This book is an excellent introduction to the reporting capabilities available in Excel. Prior to reading this book I had no idea that these capabilites existed. There is an assumption that you have access to a MS SQL Server for some of the content, but other than that I have no complaints.
Great book from basics to advanced April 10, 2007

I have looked forever for a book that covers the basics *and* advanced concepts of using Microsoft Query as a tool to access data from a SQL database. This book is it. As someone who has learned how to do this through nothing but trial and error, this book offered a lot of insight on how things should be done and why those strange bugs appear. I highly recommend it.
