I can't say I read the entire book but a good proportion of it. It's got great tips on how to use Excel, and I found it very userfriendly for someone who doesn't have that much of a clue re. what Excel can do. Excel is my new favourite application - I love it! It's amazing what it can do. And this book's really great to explain some of more common functions/formulas to people who are not too familiar with Excel.

I used this as a refresher when I had to use new Excel skills. I have since passed it on to someone I work with who wanted help with his Excel skills.
