Better than online help

I've been fiddling with Excel for a couple of months now, and this book has made it easier to understand.

Cuts to the chase!

Having to learn new versions of data manipulators can be a nightmare when your deadlines are gone before you're given a project -- this gem cuts to the chase! Without a lot of fanfare, tells you exactly what to do, with just enough pictures to let you know you're in the right place. It's filled in a lot of blanks, and I'm now ordering the Access 2000 version. Try it, you'll like it.
