Product Description
John Walkenbach comments on the new Excel: "I've been using Excel for over 15 years, and Excel 2007 is by far the most significant upgrade ever. For starters, we've got a new user interface, new open file formats, a larger worksheet grid, better use of memory and CPUs, new functions, and more templates. Dig a bit deeper and you'll find worksheet tables, 100 levels of undo, easier formula construction, better-looking charts, unlimited color choices, SmartArt, a handy page layout view, new conditional formatting options, new collaboration features, a very useful compatibility checker, workbook themes—and even 'skins' so you can change the look of the entire program." John Walkenbach's Favorite Excel 2007 Tips & Tricks consists of a series of non-trivial tips and tricks that cover all aspects of Excel. Tips are improved ways of maximizing the power of Excel to create robust applications. Tricks are shortcuts that will speed up application development with Excel. John's favorites include tips and tricks on dealing with function arguments, creating "impossible" charts, pivot tables, taming the new Ribbon, why use a UserForm, how to create add-ins in Excel 2007, absolute vs. relative references, changing data entry orientation, overcoming the 7-level nesting limit, dynamic chart data, sorting on more than three columns, entering fake data for testing purposes, custom functions, and much more.

 Learn Excel tricks the quick way January 21, 2008

It has many useful tips on optimising the use of Excel, particularly for frequent spreadsheet users. The tips and tricks are designed to improve the functionality of using spreadsheets, particularly in enhancing spreadsheet productivity and providing enhanced end-user benefits. In brief, this book will save the average Excel user a lot of "trial and error learning" by providing the necessary quick solutions. Perhaps it is also a fast method of acquiring Excel competency compared to the usual unaided approach.
 Just as good as its predecessor January 6, 2008

This is the second edition of this book that I have purchased and I'm very impressed with them both. There is of course some overlap between the content of the Excel 2003 version and the Excel 2007 version but the significant difference between the Excel versions means that this book contains plenty of advice specific to Excel 2007. I've been using Excel since the early 90s and have a Computing Science background but there were still plenty of tips that I could pick up.

Many times, in Excel, it is hard to find help on how to do certain tasks. This book is nicely organized in sections for different types of tips and tricks. Another nice feature is when author uses Excel 2007 functions, he shows compatible solutions for older versions of Excel. I recommend this book for most Excel users (beginners and intermediate level)
