Not a bible, more like a quick review,
By
This review is from: Excel 2002 Bible (Paperback)
Having used Excel for a number of years and various other Excel guides, I have been disappointed each time I have tried to use this book. The worst feature? The index. Any reference book should be able to point you to where you want to go, but with only one description of most functions -- and you have to guess at which word the author will choose to pick for the index -- you're often spending more time trying to figure out the "bible" than you would if you were just fiddling with Excel on your own. So if you're looking for a guidebook for Excel, my opinion is to find a different book, perhaps one of the Que "Special Edition" series instead.

Excellent & comprehensive guide,
By argylsok (Barrie, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Excel 2002 Bible (Paperback)
I tutor students in the use of Excel, and I have found that this Bible is worth every penny.Walkenbach takes you into every nitty gritty detail, so that you can devise a fairly sophisticated lesson plan for those students who want to take their software know-how to a higher level. His Bible really lives up to its name. I recommend this book for basic to intermediate classes. Its only flaws? It weighs a ton. You can give yourself a hernia hefting this tome around! And it is costly. However, I would argue that if you buy this book, you won't have to buy half a dozen other books, because almost everything you need is here.
