Summary: Well worth the money
Comment: Given how many Excel books there are out there, it can't be easy to
write a good one that fills a genuine gap in the market. Nevertheless,
Jelen & Rubin have managed to do just that. Aimed primarily at the
intermediate user, "MrExcel on Excel" is packed full of tips that will
get you using Excel much
more effectively. The book will not teach you everything there is to
know
about Excel; nor will it show you how, with some fancy API programming,
you can make Excel do the washing-up and walk the dog. What it will do
is show you techniques and tricks that will speed up tasks you already
think you know how to do, and introduce you to a few that will show you
how to do things you thought couldn't be done. If you've already used
Excel and want to use it better, then buy this book - in time saved
alone it should pay for itself in under a month

Summary: Mr Excel on Excel
Comment: Overall assessment:

"This book is absolutley jam-packed with useful tips and tricks. You will easily recoup your outlay on the book in the time savings that you will make in your first few Excel sessions after reading it."

"I've used Excel for many years and used to think that I knew pretty much all that I needed to know. I was wrong! There are so many time-saving tips in here that you will find yourself referring to it time and again - keep it near your computer."

"And its not just about working faster, its about working smarter too. We've all been in this situation I suspect - you reach a certain point in your spreadsheet design and sit there thinking 'There must be a way to do this!'. Well there probably is and its probably in this book. Typical examples include, adding a watermark to your spreadsheets, moving a minus sign from the right of a figure to the left, using the a Euro symbol."

"Bluntly, if you use Excel you NEED this book."

Rating: 4
Summary: Great book if you can decipher the explanations
Comment: I agree with the other reviewers who have said this book is poorly written. However, I have learned a lot of extremely useful tips. Copying you page setup settings to other sheets is one of my favorites. I also like the fact that this book contains no filler; it's jam-packed with smart tips on using Excel.

I would say that if you are already a pretty advanced Excel user, it's not too difficult to decipher the many poorly written explanations. If I were rating the book on its writing quality alone, I'd give it two or three stars. As for usefulness to an already advanced or intermediate user, I give it five. Just be prepared to struggle at times understanding what the authors are saying. I hope they put more care into writing their subsequent books.
