Product Description: One look at Excel 2007, with its new Office Button, Quick Access toolbar, and Ribbon, and you realize you’re not in Kansas anymore. Well, have no fear— Excel 2007 for Dummies is here!
If you’ve never worked with a computer spreadsheet, or if you’ve had some experience with earlier versions of Excel but need help transitioning, here you’ll find everything you need to create, edit, format, and print your own worksheets (without sacrificing your sanity!). Excel 2007 for Dummies covers all the fundamental techniques, concentrating on only the easiest, most user-friendly ways to get things done.
You’ll discover how to:
Rearrange, delete and insert new information
Keep track of and organize data in a single worksheet
Transfer data between the sheets of different workbooks
Create a chart using the data in a worksheet
Add hyperlinks and graphics to worksheets
And more!
Plus, in keeping with Excel 2007’s more graphical and colorful look, Excel 2007 for Dummies has taken on some color of its own, with full-color plates in the mid-section of the book illustrating exactly what you’ll see on your screen. Whether you read it from cover to cover or skip to the sections that answer your specific questions, the simple guidance in this book will have you excelling at home or in the office no time.
Make Sure you Have Excel 7 before you buy I returned this book because in the opening pages, I read: "Do not buy this book if you have an older Excel on your machine or it will just confuse you." I have an older version, so it was no help.
book is good but program is a microsoft price gouge 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 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... 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 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.
