Excel 2007 Bible,   ISBN:9780470044032

Customer Rating: 

The Excel 2007 Bible is a good book for the money. It gives lots of interesting and useful tools to use Excel in ways I didn't know about. I do wish there were more explainations on all of the formulas it does list, but there is enough in here to keep me busy for a while. I'm sure there are other books that are better for non-financial users, but this has helped me tremendously. I'm relatively new to Excel, and everything i've learned up to the point of buying the book was self-taught. I've used Excel extensively for the last two years, and had become the office 'guru' because i knew it could be done, and i went out to find it. This book just helped to cut down on the research time. It's inexpensive, it's useful, and it's easily understandable.

Also, before i bought the book, i looked at the reviews as well. There were 3 or 4 bad reviews that complained about the type color and paper color. I don't have great vision, and i had absolutely no problem reading the text. The text is a dark grey rather than black-black, but it's not hard to read. It would be no harder to read than a newspaper.

I'm a long-time Excel user and have recently started using 2007. I found this to be a very helpful publication in finding out how to use the new features. It's not something you want to read cover to cover, but as a reference text it's well organized and easy to find the info you need.

I also have been able to pick up a number of tips that I was unaware of to speed through formatting tasks. Have not used the CD-ROM that comes with it, so can't comment on that.

My only quibble is the font size (bit small and hard to read). Has lots of screen shots which are very helpful but again, some are hard to read given the small fonts.

Great book for help with Excel. Could use some elaboration on new functionalities for 2007.

Recieved book timely, but ended up sending book back. Print was very weak or soft and made it very hard to read. I think I would have liked book had the print been darker.
