3.0 out of 5 stars Lack of info on data tables, June 12, 1998
By 
Was surprised and disappointed in Que's Special Edition Excel's lack of discussion on data tables. The ability to set up one or two variable data tables can be quite useful.

Additionally was disappointed to see very limited coverage of most functions. Was looking for info on VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP to determine situations in which they would be used.

Granted covering over 320 functions might be a bit overwhelming, but I had thought that a "Comprehensive. Authoritative. Recomended." Special Edition from QUE would be a bit more Comprehensive.

2.0 out of 5 stars The book is vague and assumes one is an expert on syntax., September 22, 1998
By 
djgab@lcc.net (Nacogdoches, TX U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
For spreadsheet software I started with Que's Lotus 123, 2.2. The book was excellent with detailed explanations which were easy to understand and apply. I used Que's Lotus for Release 5 and found it more vague than the 2.2 version; subsequently, I used Lotus's Users Guide more than Que's Lotus Release 5. I am an intermediate to expert with Lotus and am now learning Excel. I purchased Que's Special Edition as it seemed the best of the lot. I am very disappointed with the book. It is more vague than the Lotus, Release 5. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find references in the index only to finally give up and use either trial and error or logical deduction to solve problems in Excel. For example with functions; Que's Lotus 2.2 and even Release 5 gave a paragraph of explanation and examples for each type of function; Que's Excel 97 gives only a one-liner of syntax for about a one-third of the functions. I consider myself an intermediate with Excel; better be an expert to use this book! Then again, if one is an expert, one would not need a book! The "Dummies" books are much too generic and are not much value for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference for the intermediate level user., July 6, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Excel 97 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)
Although the book is designed for accomplished to expert users, it starts at a very "beginner" level. It covers more than adequately all aspects of Excel 97, with the exception of VBA, which I thought would be of most interest to the targeted reader. It is well written and easily understood. A good book that will answer most readers questions.
