Microsoft Excel continues to grow in power, sophistication, and capability, but one thing that has changed very little since the early '90s is its user interface. The once-simple toolbar has been packed with so many features over the years that few users know where to find them all. Microsoft has addressed this problem in Excel 2007 by radically redesigning the user interface with a tabbed toolbar that makes every feature easy to locate and use. Unfortunately, Microsoft's documentation is as scant as ever, so even if users can find advanced features, they probably won't know what to do with them.

Excel 2007: The Missing Manual covers the entire gamut of how to build spreadsheets, add and format information, print reports, create charts and graphics, and use basic formulas and functions. Like its siblings in the Missing Manual series, this book crackles with a fine sense of humor and refreshing objectivity about its subject, guiding readers through the new Excel with clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, lots of illustrations, and friendly, time-saving advice. It's a perfect primer for small businesses with no techie to turn to, as well as those who want to organize household and office information.

Great Resource

I purchased Excel 2007: The Missing Manual because my company is too cheap to buy into a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) software, and they want to track everything in Excel, want everyone in the company to be able to access, but only want a select few to be able to update this. Well, the IT (information technology) department had theier heads far too up their own @sses, and told the the upper echelon of my company that they had no time to make this happen since they were stuck trying to figure out how to keep a software system of the early 2000's compliant, so they won't have to buy into a LIMS. So aggravating! But some one had to do it, and that someone ended up being yours truly. Yet, this book, and the other I purchased, Unlocking the Secrets of Microsoft Excel 2007, QuickClicks: Excel 2007, Microsoft Excel 2007 Charts & Tables Quick Reference Guide (Cheat Sheet of Instructions, Tips & Shortcuts - Laminated Card), Unlocking the Secrets of Microsoft Excel 2007 Shortcuts, Tips, and Tricks, Microsoft Excel 2007 Introduction Quick Reference Guide (Cheat Sheet of Instructions, Tips & Shortcuts - Laminated Card), and Microsoft Excel 2007 Advanced & Macros Quick Reference Guide (Cheat Sheet of Instructions, Tips & Shortcuts - Laminated Card), was just what I needed to make this happen for my department. I really can't believe all the things Excel can do, it is quite amazing. I hope Microsoft does not get rid of Excel, or change it too much in it’s upgrades, cuz I feel pretty computer savvy with all the Excel knowledge I learned from this book and the accompanying books and pamphlets I purchased.

So Simple a Caveman Can Do It

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have to admit that I've been using various versions of Excel for quite a few years. However, like most users, I really hadn't scratched the surface of its capabilities. A lot of what I learned was by trial and error or simply by accident.

Oddly, our company uses Office 2003 but has made Office 2007 available for home use through Microsoft at a ridiculous discount. So ridiculous that I simply couldn't pass it up. Although I had no trouble moving from Word 2003 to 2007, much of what I knew about Excel 2003 simply didn't "translate" to 2007 and I was starting to become frustrated.

I have a "Missing Manual" for Nikon Capture NX2 which I have used to learn about some of the more obscure features of the piece of software. I needed some help with Excel 2007 so decided to try the Missing Manual series again.

Unlike many software manuals, those from "Missing Manuals" are actually kind of enjoyable to read. They won't keep you up nights waiting for a surprise ending, but they won't put you to sleep either.

The writing is quite conversational with a bit of humor thrown in. While that's all well and good, it's the content that's important and there's plenty of that. The authors just about held my hand getting me through "Charts" and I've learned a few new things that even work on the 2003 version.

If you need a kick start as an Excel beginner or are stuck trying to work out complicated formulas, this is the book to get.

Next best thing to taking a course for Excel

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I've used Microsoft Office software for some time, but realized I am not able to use the program's features as well as I would like to. I didn't really want to take the time (or spend the money) to take a course on this program, so when I found this book on Amazon, I thought I would give it a try. So far I REALLY LIKE IT! It's set up so you can go directly to the section that shows you how to do a specific task and let me tell you it takes you step by step through the task with ease! Well written, easy to follow and great diagrams of what you see on the computer screen. If you want to unlock the features of Excel 2007, you NEED this book! And they offer a book for most all of the Microsoft Office programs (I ordered one for Word and PowerPoint as well, and love them all). Well worth the money and a great tool to have near your computer!

Excel-lent book

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2008

Verified Purchase

I love these Missing Manuals for Excel. The descriptions are written in a clear conversational tone, and the examples are easy to follow. I use Excel for basic list and schedule making, to type notes for college, to calculate statistics for my tennis team, and for different finance calculations and reports at work. Sometimes the help function that comes with Excel is sufficient for quick questions, but for more complicated use and/or plainer explanations, I prefer the book to the help function. I have the manuals for both Excel 2003 and 2007, and the manuals are not interchangeable for the two versions. Whichever version of Excel you use, whether you want to look up basic how-to's, do complicated computations, or get into the bells and whistles, I would recommend the Missing Manual.

AMAZON DELIVEDRED THE BOOK QUICKLY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

I reviewed the contents of the book on the Amazon web. It seemed to be just what I wanted. The book covers an abundent amount of information relevant to using Excel 2007. I decided to buy it to reinforce my existing knowledge, gained from other Excel 2007 books. One of the first books I used was Mike Smart's Expert book and the later chapters are quite difficult to understand. This book is well written and relevant to my studies. I wanted the book quickly as I am taking a Microsoft Specialist Exam in Excel 2007 in a few weeks time. I received the text in a few minutes on my kindle. I think this is a tremendous benefit, not having to receive the post. I have missed postal deliveries so many times, also by receiving the text on the kindle there are no problems with packaging. Overall a highly recommended book.

The Missing Manual Series are all excellent easy to read and use and this one does not dissappoint in any way. On top of that this was rated Used-Good Condition which I find far understated, this book is in excellent condition the only thing I can see is up against a new manual the cover is slightly faded, inside it is like new. For me - brilliant.
