I Will Teach You Excel: Master Excel, surpass your co-workers, and impress your boss!
Ever get passed up for a promotion or pay increase and wonder, “why didn’t I get it”? Ever wonder if your skills are good enough to compete in today’s crowded job market? You work hard, go above and beyond and still can’t seem to get noticed. Many of today’s jobs require that you be familiar with Microsoft Excel. How can you become proficient at Excel when companies aren’t willing to teach you this valuable skill?
This leaves many people trying to learn as they go and never quite feeling 100% comfortable with the program. What’s worse, most people haven’t even scratched the surface of Excel’s potential, even if they’ve been using it for years. If you feel this way, you’re not alone.
Think about this for a second; what will your career look like in a year if you don’t take action today and improve your Excel skills? How about five years from now? Unless you take matters into your own hands things may not look much different.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, people who show proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other common office applications earn, on average, 13% more than those who don’t. For most people this could mean tens of thousands of dollars over just a few years, and this doesn’t even factor in lost promotions and job offers. Can you afford to leave so much on the table as a result of maintaining the status quo?
I’ve experienced this transformation in my career and can tell you first hand how it has helped me. When I was fresh out of college and working my first accounting job my manager asked me to complete a project that involved using VLOOKUPS. I enthusiastically obliged, walked back to my desk, and proceeded to panic. I tricked myself into thinking that I was an excel expert only because I knew a few formulas, my limited knowledge only scratched the surface. I turned to a college buddy for help; Google. I eventually managed to learn what I needed, after a lot of time and energy.
I’ve climbed the ladder and worn many hats since then. I can’t say that the opportunities I’ve earned in my career are solely due to my increasing Excel proficiency. What I can definitely say is that Excel has earned me more opportunities to prove myself to management than waiting for opportunities to materialize on their own.
That’s why I decided to write this book. My goal is to take you from Excel novice to master in the shortest time possible. I wrote my book specifically for the busy professional, in an easy to read manner that gets straight to the point and teaches the meat of Excel. I wrote this book for you.
Don’t take my word for it:
"I think the writing style is helpful for readers to engage. I like that as I read the book, I felt as if I was in front of someone who was actually teaching me. I also liked the fact that the book is written in a laid back manner. I mean Excel is difficult as it is, why would you want to make it worst by adding some weird terminology to the book? Its plain, simple and easy to follow."
-Eliana Pereira, Accountant

Very useful information laid out in an easy-to-understand format. I use excel daily at work and was already semi-familiar with most of the material in here, but I still learned plenty from reading this. I will definitely be keeping this around as a resource to use.

I'll be honest, I really just flipped through it, but there's a lot of good information in this that's relatively easy to understand. I currently don't have the need for most of what is in the book, but I'll keep it in my library as a resource. If you've worked with Java or other programming languages, you'll see some familiar terms.

Excel hacks in simple language.
As a self taught Excel user there were areas of Excel that to me were mysterious. This book explains useful formulae in simple language and with clear illustrations.

Its a good book
Its a nice compilation of all the handy tips and tricks that you can use in Excel. Surely good for the one who wants to learn it all at once instead of looking for every single command over internet.

Simplified to the very best
For a lazy person(like me) , it works wonders. Everything is simplified, made extremely easy and funny sometimes. If you're a novice just go grab the book. You'll love it I say.

2.5 ☆ SO Much Useful Information, SO Many Typos!
It's clear that he knows what he's talking about and he generally explains things well. There are too many basic typos; it became an aggravating distraction. Please let me edit your book!

Useful for beginner
This book is useful for new joiner of auditing firms. However, as I have been working for three years, I think I have already come to a chance of mastering all these techniques. But it is really nice recap.
