This book Saved me in my new job I am in the middle of getting an MBA, and I have a six month internship at one of the top 3 consulting firms in the world. I used to be a chef, so my excel knowledge stopped at simple formulas. I brought the CD-ROM with me to work, and taught myself pivot tables in about 10 minutes with this book. I was amazed at how simple this book made the process. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't just want to be told how to do something, but needs to refernce and practice a skill to truly master it. This truly is a bible for excel use. halleluiah!!
EXCEL Highly Recommended for those who desire to develop advanced EXCEL skills. I've essentially taught myself using the "Bible" Series.
Great Resource This book has been a great resource for me over the past few months. In fact my entire team at work now uses this on a daily basis.
Excel Bible 2003 I bought this as a reference book for the office after taking an advanced Excel class. Everyone in my office uses it and the power pack that comes on the CD included with the book adds awesome tools and macros to the program. The only drawback is that most of the add-in programs on the CD are only 30-day trials, so you have to pay for them after a month.
Great Desk Reference Book I am an Excel novice, and the "Excel Bible - 2003" was a fantastic ready reference book for me. If you plan on doing ANY sort of analytical work on your PC, I highly reccomend using Microsoft Excel. As such, this book will help you successfully navigate through your first few days, weeks, and years of Excel.
Also, Mr. Walkenbach (the author) is very accessable. I had a few basic questions for him regarding Excel formulas, sent him an e-mail and had a response within 48 hours. Pretty remarkable, in my opinion.
