Book Reviews of Excel 2007: The Missing Manual
Book Review: An excellent resource
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been an Office user for many, many years, but Microsoft keeps adding what they consider to be features and with Office 2007, they changed the User Interface.
The Missing Manuals series are generally excellent, so I bought all of the volumes available covering Office 2007 for use as references when I needed them.
As it happens, with Office 2010 just becoming available, I needed a reference to Excel 2007 immediately - and my volume of Excel 2007:The Missing Manual was at hand.
Lifesaver. I needed a crash course in Pivot Tables and that is precisely what I got. More than enough to carry me through the basics in a flash.
I also had to review the book's treatment of Excel functions. I was trying to do some data manipulation. Normally I would just write a program to do this, but this project was a bit bigger and I wanted to take care of all that needed to be done in a single app.
The first seven chapters deal with the basics and then some of spreadsheets. For beginners, this is must-read material. More experienced users will probably be okay with just skimming it. The next 21 chapters bring the reader deeper and deeper into Excel's very great capabilities. This is not one of those books where the reader is constantly told that the subject at hand is beyond the scope of the book. The author's provide very substantial detail, but their writing style is crisp and clear, free of pedantry, It is actually pleasant to read, despite being a technical manual.
As I said, this book has been sitting on the shelf, having been purchased as a reference for the moment I would need an authoritative education on some aspect of Excel 2007 in a hurry.
Thanks to being well researched, well written and amply supplied with illustrations and examples, the book saved me.
