Useful but... 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 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.
4 of 4 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.

Stephen's Review 5 out of 5 stars.

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.

book is good but program is a microsoft price gouge 3 out of 5 stars.

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.

Ok for the moderate user 3 out of 5 stars.
6 of 10 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.

Not as Helpful as it Could Be 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I was disappointed. Although it is good for very basic beginners, I was hoping it would help with functions that are more difficult. The Dummies Books are so good at explaining things in friendly terms. I was looking for the friendly terms to help me understand complicated functions. I was out of luck. I would only recomment this product for the very basic beginner.

This book Saved me in my new job 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I am in the middle of getting an MBA, and I have a six month internship at one of the top 3 consulting firms in the world. I used to be a chef, so my excel knowledge stopped at simple formulas. I brought the CD-ROM with me to work, and taught myself pivot tables in about 10 minutes with this book. I was amazed at how simple this book made the process. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't just want to be told how to do something, but needs to refernce and practice a skill to truly master it. This truly is a bible for excel use. halleluiah!!

This book looks good on the surface; However, The descriptions do not match the screens that I have on my version of Excel 2007. It is very difficult to follow and I would not recommend it to anyone new to this software.

A Very Good Book for Beginners - You Will Be Coding in No Time! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I have tried to pick up VBA for Excel a few times, but the pieces just didn't seem to fall together for me. I am in IT, but I don't have a development background. I have solid Excel skills, but still got frustrated with VBA and would put it down. Recently, I had a very specific problem to solve for work and thought I would give it another try.

I decided to get a book with the basics and read it completely first, then try to start coding my project. I was in a hurry so I also got the online upgrade to start reading even before my book got here. I found the book an easy read and occasionally tried a few of the examples as I went along. I got through the book easily in a few days and feel as if I had a good knowledge base to begin.

I am happy to say within 2 weeks, I have completed the project I had first planned and then an even more complex project. I have a third planned now. I used other Excel VBA resources along the way, but have to give credit to this book for getting me started and with the basics so I could even understand where to go next. I see the time and money I invested in this book coming back to me many times over due to the hours and hours of work the macros I have been able to write will save both myself and my team members.

I still have a lot to learn, but I am very satisified with this book. I picked this book because of the other good reviews it has on this Amazon site, so I hope you will find my review helpful to you!!

When Your Good,....Your Good! 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 16 people found this review helpful.

The Author really knows his stuff!!!
Again an accurate, concise, extensive reference tool for the beginner as well as the advanced user. This is my fourth excel book by Mr. Walkenbach and they are all of equal caliber. They all contain general background information as well as information dealing with other programming areas of excel (so that even if you only purchase a book like the VBA programming guide, you will still learn about macro programming and other general excel functions). Like all his books, this one gives the user a complete library of useful and professional approaches towards working with and solving excel problems. Good Job Mr Walkenbach!

Teach Yourself Visually Excel 2007 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

For those of us who lack computer savvy, a book like this is an essential. Personally I learn much better if I can read text AND look at a picture. Never really having done a spread sheet before, I learned in no time at all. I keep the book right by my computer. I have found all the 'Visually' books to be helpful

Editorial Review:

Each task-based spread includes easy, visual directions for performing necessary operations, including:
