Excellent introductory guide

This is an excellent book for those who are new to Excel and to documenting business (and other) data in general. In 27 chapters it covers all of the kinds of things a beginning-to-intermediate user would want to know. Included are basic concepts as well as more advanced topics such as design elements, importing data, functions, working with multiple spreadsheets, interaction with the internet, and other enhancements. Its use of graphic design helps the reader enormously - using blue typeface in a variety of fonts to accent certain terms and concepts makes it easier for the reader to negotiate through each chapter, and placing "quick tips" in boxes throughout the chapter makes for easy referral. It also has a helpful index to use when you forget just where you had found a certain piece of information. I've been wanting to learn Excel for a number of years and this is the first guide that enabled me to create a simple spread sheet in an hour. Highly recommended!
