Another Great Book by Walkenbach

For the past couple of versions of Excel, I have always used John Walkenbach's books for learning and reference. His books provide quiet a complete reference for Excel users and this book is no exception. This edition contains forty-five chapters covering all aspects of Excel. I pretty much read through the entire book in order to familiarize myself with the latest features of Excel 2007.

This version is a significant upgrade to the previous versions. The biggest change is the ribbon bar. Yes, it is something new to learn, but once you become familiar with this, you will probably find that this really is a much better idea.

Walkenbach covers all aspects of Excel in his books such as:
1. Formulas and functions
2. Charts
3. Graphic objects
4. Advanced features such as data validation, number formats, sharing data, etc.
5. Analyzing data with pivot tables, what-if analysis, goal seeker and solver
6. A whole section (seven chapters) on VBA programming

His book also contains appendixes covering worksheet functions, Excel resources and Excel shortcut keys. Included also with the book is a CD-ROM containing the complete text of the book. But, what I really like about the included CD-ROM are the sample files. Sample files are included for each chapter. You can load them into your Excel directory and access them as you read the chapters and practice what you are learning thereby not just reading but getting hands on experience.

Yes, I know at this point in time, you can now order Office 2010 and Walkenbach has released his book on Excel 2010, but I would say that, based on my experience with Walkenbach's previous versions this review would probably also apply to the 2010 version I'm sure. Of course, many people will not be using Office 2010 for some time to come, such as myself, so I decided to write this review anyway for those who will be using Excel 2007 for the near future.

Good book for the money

The Excel 2007 Bible is a good book for the money. It gives lots of interesting and useful tools to use Excel in ways I didn't know about. I do wish there were more explainations on all of the formulas it does list, but there is enough in here to keep me busy for a while. I'm sure there are other books that are better for non-financial users, but this has helped me tremendously. I'm relatively new to Excel, and everything i've learned up to the point of buying the book was self-taught. I've used Excel extensively for the last two years, and had become the office 'guru' because i knew it could be done, and i went out to find it. This book just helped to cut down on the research time. It's inexpensive, it's useful, and it's easily understandable.

Also, before i bought the book, i looked at the reviews as well. There were 3 or 4 bad reviews that complained about the type color and paper color. I don't have great vision, and i had absolutely no problem reading the text. The text is a dark grey rather than black-black, but it's not hard to read. It would be no harder to read than a newspaper.
