Special Editions's Using Microsoft Excel 2002 by Patrick Blattner is well worth the investment. Working in marketing, I need to know how to use Excel. When I have questions, I need to be able to find the answers quickly and easily. This book is easy-to-use, thorough, and provides examples with descriptive text and screen shots depicting what I want to do, such as filling in a series, creating a spreadsheet with grouped data, and creating customized functions, in a business scenario.
Amazingly comprehensive and relevant.

Unlike lots of tech books which just take you thru the menus and cmds, this book actually teaches you how to use Excel's finer points in the context of real-world business applications. I found the explanation of pivot tables and the concrete examples employed to be the best I've encountered. The tips on charting have definitely improved the appearance of my reporting products. The reference section on functions comprehensive and something I frequently refer to. Highly recommended.
Outstanding Reference With Examples..

Outstanding resource for functions, charts, and data management. I work in a large organization where data management is key. The 10+ chapters on functions with examples are extremely helpful...We also have presentations on a monthly basis and the chart examples and chapters are analyst quality.. A great help and would strongly recommend. I've been able to generate one chart that actually is tied into all of our data so I can generate any report via a drop down menu... A great time saver...
Again, an extremely good reference on Excel
