I spent some time in the book store, and then in Microcenter, looking for a book on Excel. Of course I then ordered it from Amazon to save a lot of money. This book is the one you need. It contains just about everything you will ever want to know, from beginner to advanced user. This includes expecially Visual Basic for Applications for advanced users.

The best thing I have found about this book is that it each topic is short and concise. There is no "fluff" in this book. Every sentence has some meaning and the examples (also included on the CD) are straight forward and to the point. There is no wasted space in this book. You will find in "tips" some things that you won't find in other books, or in the Microsoft documentation.

If you are a beginner or advanced user, you will find this book a treasure of information. It should be the first book you buy about Excel 2010.

I have been teaching Excel for years and I always recommend this book to my class. This is by far the best Excel book I have ever found for anyone who uses Excel daily. I have purchased each new version that has come out for the past 3 versions. It is invaluable in helping me to discover and use some of the more obscure functions in Excel.

I finally got this book and I am indubitably impressed. This book has so far refreshed everything that I have already learned and then taken me to new levels of Excel mastery. The book builds on key functions and charts, graphs, from previous versions along with Microsoft 2010. I love it and I will certainly buy another from this author and this particular series. I'm very happy and I am looking forward to delving deeper into the book. The table of contents alone is pretty impressive to me, highly recommended for any user of Excel looking to advance, from beginner to advanced, you will be surprised by what you didn't know and will learn with this comprehensive book.

John Walkenbach is the best at writing a straightforward, yet complete reference for Excel 2010 users who want to go beyond basics. Excellent!

I bought this book because my new company uses Office 2010 and I have to use a lot of pivot tables and write some macros from time to time. This book has been very helpful since there are significant changes in Excel. Luckily the coding is the same(o: The pivot tables have advanced tremendously and I love it. This book is a must for those that use Excel on a regular.
Might I also suggest "Excel Gurus Gone WIld" for those of you that like to try new and impressive tricks on Excel.

Definitely a book that will provide all the insights you need to use excel. A real bible for it. It is a must have, for all those who work will excel and do a bit more advanced analysis of data

As has been my experience in the past, the Bible series for Microsoft are great. It's the only instructional series I've ever needed for this operating system

This is an excellent guide to Excel 2010. Either if you are new to Excel, or need an update on new features. In an easy language you are being guided with lots of useful examples that you can use in your daily work with just a little customizations. As a bonus this book contains a cd-rom with all the examples and a searchable pdf version of the book. This is surely good work. I give this book my best recommendations.

I purchased this for my son, who is a Mac user, and the enclosed CDs do not work for a Mac, so we decided to return it. The product description does not let you know this upfront. Excel has always worked for a Mac (one of the reasons Bill Gates is a billionaire). The book is fairly expensive and part of the cost is the CD. It seems it would be fairly easy for the author to have a Mac programmer convert the CDs to a Mac or at least offer the book at a smaller cost without the CD.

I am very pleased with my recent purchase. I ordered it for a friend.. It is exactly what he wanted and he is also very happy.
