Excel for the beginner

My son-in-law owns two gas stations and all of his records are on Excel spread sheets. I wanted to help him so I needed to learn how to operate the Excel sheets. He is running the older computers which have the 2003 version on them. I had to get a book about the 2003 version. I did buy this book and I read it from cover to cover. I was surprised at how much Excel could do. Once you learn the basics of Excel you can perform most of the functions in simple steps. You can do almost anything on a spread sheet. I kept going back to the book to look up procedures as I got into more complicated procedures. The book has a good table of contents. I even look up some of the words so I could better understand what the program required me to do to get the right results. Later I looked at the Microsoft manual for Excel. The manual has the same information but it seems more technical and it has a minimal table of contents. The Dummies book was more user friendly and it was easier to use as a reference to answer a simple question.

Excel 2003 for Dummies

I found this book to be very helpful. I had taken Excel classes before but this book helped me to reinforce my understanding and showed me some new techniques I did not know. I recommend this book for beginners as well as advanced users of Excel.

Excel For Dummies

This book is truly helping me to understand using formulas. That was the sole reason of purchasing it.

My favorite "...for Dummies" book

Basically all the "...for Dummies" books are easy to understand and they guide you step by step on how to do just anything like teaching a three year old how to write "A". I also bought "Word for Dummies" and I can only say the same. It helped me quite a bit since I really don't know anything about computers. I've studied them back when we used "Cobol".
