3.0 out of 5 stars Totally useless for me, August 19, 2008

This review is from: Spreadsheet Tools for Engineers: Excel (Paperback)
This book was only recommended for my computing engineering class. I decided to buy it anyways but we ended up never using it. If I did use it though, it would have help a just little. However, excel is such an easy program to learn so that you won't need this book. If you need to do a lot of programing and detailed work with excel then get it. I just didn't find it useful in my class.

There are also a lot of helpful advice, tutorials, tips, online if you search for excel things.
