5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for Advanced Users!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Excel 97 Bible (Paperback)
In the section where I work, everyone uses Excel, but outside of entering data and applying a couple of formulas / formats, they are generally clueless as to Excel 97's power. Just two weeks of toying with different things listed in this bible have made me the department guru!As others have mentioned, talk of VBA is short here, but Walkenbach (a tremendous writer) has a VBA for Excel 2000 book out (not a bible) that looks to cover VBA for Excel 97 as well, so I am looking to purchase that next. Bibles are cool - Wife has the Access Bible, and that one rules, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for reference not for learning.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Excel 97 Bible (Paperback)
Considering this book is so huge I thought it would of had some sort of tutorials or step by step examples, but there is none of that to be found. This is basically just a very detailed reference guide. For some of the more advanced functions in excel, such as macros, it really doesn't tell you exactly how to create them. If you know nothing about Excel, this might be something to checkout, as it covers everything, but if you are a more advanced Excel user, I don't recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars
covers a little of everything but leaves out details.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Excel 97 Bible (Paperback)
This is a great book if you have a strong foundation in Excel already. I don't, I like a book I can refrence without reading the whole chapter. Not something as simple minded as the Idiot books but a book I can quickly glance through to see what can be done and quick step by step guide.
