Jelen and Alexander go far beyond merely explaining PivotTables and they present practical "recipes" for solving a wide range of business problems. Drawing on more than 30 combined years of Excel experience, they provide tips and tricks you won't find anywhere else, and show exactly how to sidestep common mistakes.

[Bill Jelen]

Mike Alexander is one of the funniest Excel guys out there. This book is the best selling pivot table book and covers them from cradle to grave.

[Heather Gray · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best Excel books I ever read. This book took me to where I am today as a Data Analyst. There are so may helpful nuggets in this book. I'm forever grateful that I found it and would recommend any updated versions that may exist.

Jelen may be an expert on Excel but the book was virtually useless since it did not coincide with the reference material and examples that the reader needed to work through.
