Exploring Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Comprehensive (2nd Edition) Reviews
| 14 of 17 people found the following review helpful:  loaded with errors, By This review is from: Exploring Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Comprehensive (Spiral-bound) The examples are loaded with errors and the explanations are difficult to follow.

However, with the help of reading comprehension/tech skills, it is possible to infer the cells or solutions that the book meant. So if you're a beginning Excel student, there are much better books out there, (probably cheaper as well...), but if you need this for a class, then you don't have much choice. This book is laid out decently, and it has enough hands-on exercises combined with practice and mid-level exercises to learn the material. I was able to learn things I never knew I could do with Excel after a single practice exercise. Bottom line: If you need this for a... Read more |
