Summary: Good book if you have time to read
Comment: This is a good way to learn how to use excel if you have time to read and do all the exercise. I recommend this for beginner but not expert or novice because it lacks of technique that you should know.

Rating: 4
Summary: Very Good Book
Comment: I had to purchase this book for a class I took in college. Before I took the class, I used MS Excel every day for 3 years at my job. Within 2 weeks of using this thing, I more than doubled my knowledge of the program. It is fairly easy to use on your own for the first 2/3 of the book. The last 1/3 is pretty complex, however the average user will never need to do some of things in that section. I kept this book instead of selling it back to the bookstore, and still use it as a desktop reference. I highly reccomend it.

Summary: This book is good, but gets advanced quickly
Comment: I also disagree with the negative review. This book is a good one, and the examples work fine. However, you must have the correct version of Excel (Excel 2000), and for some of the more advanced chapters, like data mapping, you need to have the full version of Excel installed. In a lot of schools and businesses, they install only the basics of Excel to save disk space, so you may need to get the rest of Excel installed from the original CDs in order for some stuff to work. In addition, some of the more advanced material is difficult stuff (especially VBA, chapter 7 and some items in chapter 8), and you may need a knowledgeable teacher to help you through it.

In the context of a class, this book works great. However, if you are trying to learn Excel from scratch on your own, you might do better starting with another, more basic, book, and then moving to this book once you've mastered the basics. This book gets very advanced very quickly.
