Excel can be daunting: that empty grid just stares you in the face when you start the program, challenging you to fill in the cells with the numbers you need to crunch. How do you start? What do you... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I was looking around to find a book that does a good introduction to Excel with screenshots that I wanted to suggest for a friend. This is a nice book to read and get to know Excel step by step. The author takes you through a step by step approach with an example to create a budget excel sheet. Pros: Very good starter book Cons: There could have been more examples. There is a sample chapter available on the publisher's site and example workbooks are available on the author's website.
A good beginning at using Excel

I went through this book in a morning, iBook in my lap and book on the arm of the recliner. I am converting from AppleWorks to Excel for my spreadsheet needs and found that the short length, clear screen shots, and availability of the the changing versions of the spreadsheet on the website made this very attractive to me. I feel like I have learned a lot and accomplished a lot, even though I will never make a budget spreadsheet like the example created in the book. I really liked the Mac and Windows screenshots side by side because so many Excel books only present the Windows version.
Why do I always have to have a title here?

This book is basic and very easy to follow. I would recommend it to beginners.
