First, please read the title. This book is about Excel formulas. Please don't buy this book if you are looking for a general guide to Excel. For that purpose, you may want to purchase Mr. Walkenbach's Excel 'Bible'.

That said, this book is incredibly useful. If you know a little bit about Excel, this book will take you very far. If you know a lot about Excel, you will be astounded by some of the things you can do using the proper formulas. This book is chock-full of great tips that will radically improve your spreadsheets. The section on financial formulas is particularly well-written with plenty of real-life examples. I have been using Excel for Windows since version 2 (circa 1988). This is the best Excel book I have ever purchased.

I unreservedly recommend this book to other Excel users.

I teach Excel to IT professionals. I've been using various books for the past 6 years. I wanted one new book that authoritatively lays out the formula stuff you need to know and goes well beyond the usual "repeat the help files" approach. This is the book I bought and use. It's also very useful for pre-2002 Excel.

Whether you're an amature or an experienced Excel user this book is full of tips and tricks for all levels of users. This book will open your eyes to the world of formula writing. You'll quickly learn how to create dynamic formulas that will impress everyone around you. Truly a magnificent book with lot's of real world examples.
