Customer Reviews

Excellent

This book is so comprehensive. It`s structure is step by step with two colour pages. I chosed this book because I looked all Excel books on the shelf in a huge book store, this was the best one believe me. Buy this book. Highly recommended.

Better than Microsoft's own book

I've read the 2-book Microsoft "Step-by-Step" Excel set, the "Excel for Dummies" and the Active Education study guide. None of them come close to this text. I wish I would have started with this book...I wouldn't have needed to waste my money on the others. I highly recommend this resource.

Excellent

As a software trainer, I have found this book to cover all the subjects that I need. But, more importantly, it is the only book I've found that describes how to define dynamic names for ranges using the Offset function. The latter is probably the single most powerful feature in Excel as it obviates the need to program range selections for database, validation, and other purposes.

Mastering Excel 97 is an excellent reference tool

The company I work for recently converted from Lotus to Excel 97. I needed an Excel reference that covered everything from simple cell formating to writing complex formulas. I have been very pleased with the material in this book as well as the casual writing style. I would recommend Mastering Excel 97 to everyone from the Excel beginner to the veteran.
