Customer Reviews & Comments
Although I am not done with this book, so far I've taken into accounting alot of knowledge i've learned about Excel 2007. Even though there is another book that really goes in depth of the knowledge of Excel 2007, I feel that this book will give you the knowledge needed to do basic spreadsheets with functions and graphs. Seems very basic indeed, but I treat all introductory books I get as books that are trying to start me out fresh. Sometimes I learn about stuff in between that I didn't know existed. But this book does give great instructions and the terminology in the middle is for that other side of the brain to give you something to do. Overall I'd say 4 out of 5.
