7 of 16 people found this review helpful.

I needed this book for a class. It was good at showing me step-by-step how to do various tasks in Excel 2007. Glad I bought the book.

Great Learning and Teaching Tool! 5 out of 5 stars.

This product is great for anyone wanting to increase their working knowledge of Excel and especially for those who do not have time to go to a class. Being a trainer, I will use this book to teach others in my profession. Being able to download the ready-made files for tutorial reviews and case problems helps the student to progressive try all the techniques taught. I highly recommend it!

Stephen's Review 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The Excel 2007 for Dummies was just what I was looking for. It contained everything, plus some, that I needed to work with this version of Excel.

Useful but... 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The section on financial formulas contains some horribly incorrect information (totally wrong on NPV interpretation) and for some reason skips a description of IRR - one of the most used financial functions. Otherwise a good introduction to Excel 2007.

EXCEL 2007 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have several of these books on different subjects and although it is a good training or reference book, I would have preferred VISUALS as they are much easier for me to follow. What I like about the DUMMY line, is the reading material is in simple terms and not that WAY OUT THERE technical terms that I doubt the real computer geeks even understand.

book is good but program is a microsoft price gouge 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

the 2007 programs create major problems in business organizations that have massive files in the 2003 version. the cost to convert is astronomical in comparison with the minor cost of the microsoft product.

Excel Book 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This is a good intermediate level book for those that use Excel on a regular basis.

Ok for the moderate user 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

As with all these "bible" software books. They are really a handy reference. Particularly for the moderate excel user.

More seasoned users could do just as well with the hundreds of online help areas centered around excel. I picked up this book to help me get over the "ribbon" hurdle with excel; but find I simply use online help rather than cracking open this book.

I give it 3 stars b.c it does what it professes to do.

Very good reference for VBA Beginners 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I have this book for more than two months now and I found it very useful especially on my first VBA project. I have a weekly report and I used to do this manually and often get errors because I have to cross reference values in one big spreadsheet with multiple tabs. Not until I got this book and read the basics and go to specific chapters where I need help. I felt so accomplished after I finished the whole macro. What took me 30 minutes to do manual referencing and typing now only takes less than two minutes including sending it through email. This book is very easy to understand especially for those who know Excel and would like to expand their skills in VBA. Mr Spreadsheet has provided good example files to help us better understand VBA. His approach is basic enough for those who doesn't have any experience in creating macros. By the way if your CD doesn't have the source files or example file go to http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-302036.html and select "All Wiley Products" or call Technical Support. Type your request for the e-source files and they will get back to you really fast with a link of the FTP site for the files. Don't bother to call customer support because they will try to sell you the e-book even though you already have the book. It might be a hassle but its all worth it.

Great stats text 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My stats professor used the 2nd edition of this text for my MBA statistics class. It's a very readable book that explains the topics clearly and simply. You can almost teach yourself the material from the book without need of a professor. I recently re-read portions of the book for another class and found it easy to pick up the topics again. I wish that all of my texts were this well written. If you need a great book on statistics, then this is the one.

Still counting the errors! 2 out of 5 stars.
24 of 24 people found this review helpful.

Being new to Excel 2007, I figured this book would be the best place to start, given that it's published by Microsoft Press.

I'm about halfway through, and though I have garnered some useful information, I found the book to be so full of errors(and bonehead moments) that it has become a form of entertainment just anticipating the next one.

The first little omen was on page xxiv, where under the Creating and Managing Presentations header, the bullet item "Creating Effective Presentations" appears twice. OK, nobody is perfect.

The very first exercise instructs you to open an existing workbook file, "Exception Summary". The very next instruction is to close the file. This wasn't an error, but it was pretty funny.

There are files and folders missing from the companion CD, missing instructions, instructions that lead you down rabbit holes...

To their credit, Microsoft does maintain an error log on their website, but at least one of the listed "fixes" is still wrong, as far as I can tell.

I wonder if Microsoft Press is hiring proofers...

Editorial Review:

Principles of Finance with Excel is the first textbook that comprehensively integrates Excel into the teaching and practice of finance. This book provides exceptional resources to the instructor and student, combining classroom-tested pedagogy with the full potential of Excel's powerful functions.
In today's business world, computation is done almost wholly in Excel. Excel's ability to combine graphics with computation and perform complex sensitivity analysis with ease provides potent insights into financial problems. Despite this, most finance texts rely heavily on hand-held calculators and ignore Excel. As a result, many students find that after they enter the professional environment, they have to relearn both finance and Excel.
Principles of Finance with Excel is ideal for undergraduate courses in introductory finance or as a reference for finance professionals. A Free In-Text CD for students contains electronic versions of all spreadsheets in the book. A Companion Website -- http://www.oup.com/us/benninga -- contains lecture notes, PowerPoint Slides, and a Test Bank for instructors.

Excel 2007 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This book is great for those of us who are new to Office 2007. I recommend getting this over a computer manual. This provides step-by-step instructions on how to use Excel 2007 (including Macros). It also provides lots of excercises in the back of each chapter to reinforce your learning. The instructions are very easy to follow. One draw-back is that it is a bit repetitive on the easy instructions. Each chapter has a mix of easy and complex activities to learn.
