I'm taking Excel Spreadsheets in college this quarter. The book is clear, and easy to understand (even for those unfamiliar with using a computer, in my opinion).

One of the best parts is the great visual aids. Each tutorial gives color pictures of what you should be seeing on the screen of your computer while you work the tutorial. Sections within the chapter are also very well color organized and bolded for easy skimming if you are not new to the material.

Our teacher says that the book gets really advanced the farther on you read. Our basics & intermediate class only goes halfway through the book. The advanced excel class reads the second half, which teaches material on the level required by Microsoft in order to receive Microsoft Office Certification on the "expert" level.

On another note, Excel is an invaluable tool for personal use and in the work world.

I already knew a lot about Microsoft Excel and I have a lot of books on Microsoft Office Excel. What first attracted me to this book is the title, "New Perspectives" but once I began using the book, I can't say enough good things about it. The learning process in this book is so clear and easy to follow and takes you through step by step instructions. I also love the laminated reference card that is part of the back of the book; it makes an excellent quick and easy reference. I did learn and apply new things from this book. I use this book professionally.

If you have read many Excel books, few of them provides the amount of practice problem that you can find here. The step by step guide makes it look easy to the beginner but the tutorials challenging enough for even the advanced users. None other books have as many diagrams to aid in your understanding, and few of them makes you want to find out more about Excel. This book stands out. After reading the whole book, you just need to practice and practice to perfect it. No need for other Excel books, you can trash them.

I had an earlier version of Excel previously. This book was exactly what I expected it to be and was in good condition. The New Perspective manuals are excellent for training.

Never used Amazon before, ordered book at a price of 90% less than what my school wanted. Came in time for class, and book was in GREAT condition.

The book arrived in a good amount of time. The condition of the book was good. I will order from this vendor again. The book itself is useful for learning Excel.

The book was received timely and in the stated condition. I am very pleased with the purchase.

I never received my product and it's been over 30 days. The vendor says it probably got lost but won't refund the money right away. I've had to go to class without a book, and I can't buy a new one as the vendor hasn't refunded my money.

Good product. Just as it was described. I ordered this for my daughter for a college class that she is taking.

This book is the same anywhere you go but it was the cheapest and when comes to school books, if can get deal then you should. I had no problems with delivery it was an easy process and got it in no time.
