 Using Mr Excel March 8, 2007
Theodore J. Brahm
There are a lot of great tips in this book. I purchased the book in order to provide my employees additional training in the use of Excel. Several people including myself have used the book. I have heard and received many compliments about how easy it was to follow.
I would highly recommend this book.

Excellent intermediate level book March 14, 2006

This is one of those books that don't really contain anything new. What they do instead is present things in a way that as you read it you tend to say 'Of course, that's the way I can do that.'
For instance, suppose you want to sort a spreadsheet on only the first three digits of an account number. You turn to page 147. It says, 'Create a new column. Use the LEFT function to populate that column. Sort on the new column.' It actually show you more instruction on how to do this, but that's the idea. 'Of course, you say, how obvious.' Then why didn't you think of it first?
To make it easier to find what you're looking for, the book is broken into four sections: The Excel Environment, Calculating with Excel, Wrangling Data, Making Things Look Good. Each section then has a bunch of these 'hints & tips' I guess I'd call them. Alternatively there's a fairly complete index that is organizated alphabetically rather than functionally.
I rank this an an excellent intermediate level book. If you don't know what a spreadsheet does, you need a lower level book. If you want to learn about Macros and VBA, you want a higher level. But regardless of your level, you'll find at least a few 'Of course's.'
