Reader Reviews
First, don't make a mistake with the Excel Books for Dummies. This book is about formulas & functions; it is NOT the original Excel for Dummies that demonstrates the fundamentals. This is for some serious formulating and functioning. Second, if you can follow through and understand this book on formulas & functions, you may not be a dummy. A dummy would not understand book; it is clearly for the more advanced. The book is black and white; no colorful graphics, there are few small icons through that identify a tip, warning, remember, and technical stuff. Periodically there are cartoons throughout the book. The visuals of computer spreadsheets do help a little, but the view is light and often too small. The book is divided into five sections, with several chapters within each section. Part 1 is Putting the Fun in Functions (I can't ever see fun with functions). Part II is counting On Your Money. Part III is Doing the Math, and this can get fairly advanced. Part IV is Working with Data (this is dates, time, database, etc. This book consists of over 340 pages, and if you already have a great knowledge about formulas and functions, it may work for you. If you are a dummy, and require more visuals, forget this book. MzRizz
