Product Description
Microsoft Excel continues to grow in power, sophistication, and capability, but one thing that has changed very little since the early '90s is its user interface. The once-simple toolbar has been packed with so many features over the years that few users know where to find them all. Microsoft has addressed this problem in Excel 2007 by radically redesigning the user interface with a tabbed toolbar that makes every feature easy to locate and use. Unfortunately, Microsoft's documentation is as scant as ever, so even if users can find advanced features, they probably won't know what to do with them. Excel 2007: The Missing Manual covers the entire gamut of how to build spreadsheets, add and format information, print reports, create charts and graphics, and use basic formulas and functions. Like its siblings in the Missing Manual series, this book crackles with a fine sense of humor and refreshing objectivity about its subject, guiding readers through the new Excel with clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, lots of illustrations, and friendly, time-saving advice. It's a perfect primer for small businesses with no techie to turn to, as well as those who want to organize household and office information.

Just like all the other titles in the Missing Manual series, this one is tops. No new user can get the basics without this title. In fact, the entire Missing Manual series is great!!

I had just bought Excel 2007 Software and this book helped me get familiar with it in a relatively short period of time. It's a good tutorial and reference.

I've been an Office user for many, many years, but Microsoft keeps adding what they consider to be features and with Office 2007, they changed the User Interface.
The Missing Manuals series are generally excellent, so I bought all of the volumes available covering Office 2007 for use as references when I needed them.
As it happens, with Office 2010 just becoming available, I needed a reference to Excel 2007 immediately - and my volume of Excel 2007:The Missing Manual was at hand.
Lifesaver. I needed a crash course in Pivot Tables and that is precisely what I got. More than enough to carry me through the basics in a flash.
I also had to review the book's treatment of Excel functions. I was trying to do some data manipulation. Normally I would just write a program to do this, but this project was a bit bigger and I wanted to take care of all that needed to be done in a single app.
The first seven chapters deal with the basics and then some of spreadsheets. For beginners, this is must-read material. More experienced users will probably be okay with just skimming it. The next 21 chapters bring the reader deeper and deeper into Excel's very great capabilities. This is not one of those books where the reader is constantly told that the subject at hand is beyond the scope of the book. The author's provide very substantial detail, but their writing style is crisp and clear, free of pedantry, It is actually pleasant to read, despite being a technical manual.
As I said, this book has been sitting on the shelf, having been purchased as a reference for the moment I would need an authoritative education on some aspect of Excel 2007 in a hurry.
Thanks to being well researched, well written and amply supplied with illustrations and examples, the book saved me.
What more can you ask?

This is a great book to learn the in and outs of Excel 2007. It's written in plain English that is easy to understand and make use of. It goes over a ton of important features and easy directions on how to use them. I have bought other excel books and returned them because they were unclear and hard to learn from. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked out this book, exactly what someone with beginner to intermediate level would want. There is also a website that has examples and templates that you can download for free. I've even see some youtube videos that the author has created on such topics as pivot tables, which were extremely helpful. Highly recommend this book! And Amazon has a great price.
