Great reference for learning Excel features.

One note, the font is very small and the graphics can be hard to read. Have a good set of reading glasses handy, and good light! (especially for those of us who have older eyes!)

Amazon.com is a best library it provides or required books in right time and right price.

I needed to learn some excel from a scratch in a pretty short time, and I bought that book because visual format usually works better for me. Besides, the introductory chapters were very detailed, even unnecessarily detailed on the basic things like how to open, save and close the files, so I thought that I certainly will find all the information I need in the great details.
But I found that all the tabs that are supposed to be visual are so small that I could hardly see them, even with my glasses on. I had actually had to take a magnifying glass to read them, and that was a big distraction. And then I needed an explanation on DCOUNTA function, and it was not detailed enough for me to understand. I ended up learning that information from internet, and that worked just fine.

Outstanding visual presentations and organization make the book a pleasure to study. The book lives up to its series title: Master Visually with thousands of screen snap-shots the result of which is efficient learning. You will not waste time having to find the menus, buttons and dialog boxes that the author is referring to. The author has done the time consuming work.

Also, the book is well organized into practical tasks. You don't have to read the book from cover to cover - just look up the specific task you are interested in.

There are many Excel books on the market but in my opinion you will be hard pressed to find an Excel manual that makes improving your skills easier or more efficient.

As an aside, I sent the author an e-mail with a specific question. I not only got a response within a few hours but the response was most helpful.
