This book is well-written, covers the basics of intermediate to expert features of excel and is useful as a permanent reference work on the Office 11 series.

A comparable book is Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Step-by-Step. This book is far more detailed and intuitive, though. If you are considering getting an office-worthy reference, I would rate this one over the Microsoft title above

This is the best book written on Excel (I bought two other's before I found this one). This is a one-stop shop for an Excel reference book. Easily scannable, easy to read. I especially love Patrick's Quick Tips -- which provide bite size "how-to's".

This is a good reference book I got for the office. It's got a ton of information and is easy to read. It's reflects this with it's weight and when you stack this with other books in the series it gets heavy quick. I like the information, even if a lot, better too much than not enough.

I consider myself and intermediate user of Excel. I occasionally use macros, but don't venture into VBA. I have had this book for a couple months now and I feel it has 2 serious flaws. I find the examples hard to follow. In addition, the index does not make it easy to find items in the book. I find myself hunting and hunting for information. When I find it, it is not particulary clear. If you are looking for an Excel reference, keep looking. Maybe it is ok if you are more of a beginner, but it labels itself as "The Only Excel 2003 Book You Need." This is hyperbole.

This book is great. It has a lot of great helps and information in it to help anyone learn Excel 2003. Seller was very quick and accurate on the delivery.

Very happy with this legacy Excel 2003 handbook.
I always liked Que products & this one did not disappoint me.
Arrived via USPS in good shape & promptly for printed matter.
Condition of book was as advertised.

I had always used the QUE series of books for MS Office reference. These are bloated goats now, only stating the obvious. I'm an intermediate / advanced user but no VB. I need a reference to tell me why new things I'm trying don't work or how features interact. Not what the feature is "supposed to do". When I find more useful info on the Microsoft Support page.... you know the book is a waste. Stay away from this one, unless you are brand newbie...

This is the best reference book for Excel on the market! As an Excel instructor, I have reviewed virtually every book out there and this is the one I use for my class in Advanced Excel for Business. You will not be disappointed!

This is an extremely good reference on Excel. Clear and concise step-by-step. Well worth the investment

I ordered this book four weeks ago, and everyone's acting like I've gotten it----NOT!

I'm po'd--this is rediculous. Did they ship it by carrier pidgeon?
