Excel for Dummies is Excellent

Customer Rating:

I also own a copy of Windows XP for Dummies Quick Reference by the same author. I was very happy with Windows XP for Dummies which is why I decided to purchase this book. Greg Harvey, PHD does a great job with both books. Consistent with the "Dummies" style, you will find plenty of explanations in plain English, "get in, get out" information, icons and other navigational ads, tear-out cheat sheets, top ten lists and lots of humor and entertainment. Before buying this book I tried an on-line video course to help me learn Excel. This book is so much more helpful than anything that I used previously to learn Excel.

book is good but program is a microsoft price gouge	Customer Rating:
the 2007 programs create major problems in business organizations that have massive files in the 2003 version. the cost to convert is astronomical in comparison with the minor cost of the microsoft product.

EXCEL 2007	Customer Rating:
I have several of these books on different subjects and although it is a good training or reference book, I would have preferred VISUALS as they are much easier for me to follow. What I like about the DUMMY line, is the reading material is in simple terms and not that WAY OUT THERE technical terms that I doubt the real computer geeks even understand.

Useful but...	Customer Rating:
The section on financial formulas contains some horribly incorrect information (totally wrong on NPV interpretation) and for some reason skips a description of IRR - one of the most used financial functions. Otherwise a good introduction to Excel 2007.

Stephen's Review	Customer Rating:
The Excel 2007 for Dummies was just what I was looking for. It contained everything, plus some, that I needed to work with this version of Excel.
