 Good Overall - rather dry but nice examples December 23, 2008
Aaron Chawla (Chicago, IL USA)
I bought this book to sharpen my Excel skills and figured why not take the Expert certification exam? I passed without a problem and the examples in the book were useful for the preparation. I wouldn't use this as a reference book, rather a once thru refresher or learning tool. I can't image ever going through the examples again, especially since Excel 2007 is different enough that it risks being dated very soon.
 Perfect for any Student November 25, 2008
D. G. Almares
I'm eager to get my MOS certification and I'm confident that this book can help me get it.
It starts out pretty slow - covering the basics and introducing you to the essentials of using a computer and understanding excel. That doesn't mean that you should skip over the beginning. The beginning has some very interesting techniques on using excel and handling cell formating that no one should ignore.
The guts of this book is in functions and how easily it allows you to understand them. I've been using excel for nearly all of my college career, and I find that functions are the sunshine and the bane of any student's existence. They allow you to do so much but if you don't understand them your better off using a calculator. With this book, you'll get it and get your work done fast and with minimal errors.
The only complaint I have about this book that it has too few practice scenarios. They really help you ingrain the information but they're so few of them that it becomes a tedium to practice the same ones over and over again ... (Well, I like to practice till I'm dead tired, maybe you'll find the 32 practice scenarios for the 12 chapters enough, but I'm a geek and I would like more.)
This book covers everything you need to know for the exams and more than enough for anyone who wants to make their life easier when using excel.
 not good for kindle. October 15, 2008
