5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a beginner, February 12, 2002

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Excel in 24 Hours (Paperback)

I have NO previous experience with Excel or any other spreadsheet program. I have no programming experience of any kind. Reading the lessons and following along at my computer was very easy. All the lessons were 'bite-sized' so as to only take about an hour, which is just enough studying for me after a hard days' work. By the time I finished the book I wrote my own budget and expense program using cross references to multiple pages with pie charts. All the basics are covered, you will be using Excel easily after completing this book. This book is not intended to cover VBA programming, that is a whole 'nuther matter. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A user-friendly guide, April 16, 2004

Trudi Reisner has truly put together a practical guide to using the intimidating--to me at least--Microsoft Excel program. Unlike other guides which insist you learn the history of the program since 1944 (or whenever it was), this aid has you just jump right in, get you started, show you the right way to do things, and show you the short-cuts which are just as useful. I only wish they didn't promise this 24 hour goal to learn Excel. It took me three times as long. But hey, I learned it, and I use it now. Highly recommended.
