I liked this book a lot. The instructions are very easy to read as are all of Mr. Walkenbach's books. I own a few and I like them very much.
Stuff I Never Knew October 23, 2007

I've been using Excel to create charts for 20 years and thought I knew a lot about creating and modifying charts. I'm only on Chapter 4 and I've already learned a handful of very helpful hints and tips -- and this is just the chapters that cover the basics. I was planning to skip those chapters because I thought they wouldn't cover anything new. Instead I'm glad I didn't as there are a number of shortcuts I would have never known about. There are great examples and the CD lets you try out the options as they are discussed in the book.
 Lack of explanation and missing chapters on CD July 13, 2007
Tomaz V. Silva Neto (USA)
1. There isn't rational division of subjects,
the author do not separate the fields of knowledge as
between scientific, commercial, and so on.
2. There isn't step by step method to build the charts
3. There isn't chapters 11,13 and 14 in the CD that comes with the book.
Lack of organization, lack of methodology, and missing parts.
Excel Charts November 5, 2006

An excellent reference book for those serious about getting the most out of Excel.
Oooh, Aaaah. How did he do that? July 7, 2006

If you ever wondered, How'd they do that? This book goes behind the scenes of creating those professional looking charts your colleagues will envy. If I were to plot this book on the X and Y axis, one being cool, and the other being useful, this is a good balance between the two with a majority of the r values along a very focused positive line. (sorry, nerd joke)
This book is solely dedicated to creating those eye catching charts that people (guys, being a visual animal) really dig. It does what it is supposed to do in that it focuses nearly all the content of the book on creating those little jems. This is one of those books that you will want to accompany all those other Excel books you will want around as a reference. This is definitely for the medium to advanced level user. I would recommend that this book be one of three or Four. Others to complete the set would be:
Excel 2003 Formulas by John Walkenbach
Excel Data Analysis: Your Visual Blueprint for Creating and Analyzing Data, Charts and PivotTables by Jinjer Simon and Jinjer Simon
and
Microsoft Excel Data Analysis and Business Modeling by Wayne L. Winston
