Looks to me like hasty and sloppy editing job

I'm only ten minutes into the first chapter of the book and I'm already tempted to return it. The text on page 15, which refers to Figure 1-1 (the very first figure in the book!), bears almost no relationship to what's actually shown in the figure. This is clearly the result of a hasty and sloppy editing job, and it does not bode well for the rest of the book.

Too much to read

This is for Excel for Dummies?? Really wanted less -- there is a lot to read - excellent book if you know your way around Excel, but for dummies--NO

worthless guide to a mangled piece of software

The early visions of MS Excel were capable doing everything from balancing your checkbook to sophisticated data analyses, including multiple regressions and easy-to-create matrix algebra formulations. I used them widely in my peer- reviewed publications on sea level rise and coastal processes. The latest version has those things, but also is cluttered with endless templates and options, and is not at all intuitive. Commands and procedures have changed, and this book (all 800 pages of it) is no real help in using the program. Example: Want to change the color of data points or lines in a chart? Try to find how to do that in this book. The index is no help.

Excel 2019 is clearly designed for the business user who has to prepare PPT presentations, and wants to use canned templates for displays of data and forecasts, etc., in the minimum time possible. But consider this: If a "for Dummies" book is 800 pages, then don't think that this program will be easy to master, or that this book will be any great help.

Indispensable if you need Excel for work

I find this all-in-one book indispensable. There is just too much to do and remember in Excel not to have a reference guide. I don't use this book as a training course (some have commented that the book is too long), but as a reference when I need to lookup an issue or learn how to do a specific function I am unfamiliar with. Yes, most things these days can just be googled, but it is nice (and stress relieving) to have a reliable reference guide to go to when needed. Plus, it is organized and indexed. You take your chances when just doing an internet search for an answer. Anyway, it's not expensive and I find this book very useful as a starter and guide for all things Excel. If, after reading a section I want more in-depth instruction, then I know what to google to find it. Physical books still have a place in our lives. Recommended.

Best Reference for Excel that I have Ever Found

Where was this book when I was in graduate school struggling to use Excel? The sheer volume of information in this book (for me) makes it a definitive guide to Excel. I used Excel for statistics in grad school and I use Excel every semester in teaching as I use it to calculate my grades for my students and in other forms of online reports that I need regarding assessment and evaluation. However, let me just make it clear that I find Excel hard to understand in terms of getting formulas right and thus getting calculations and reports right. I always need help with it and help is not always available. I probably would use Excel more if I could look things up and have it explained to me in a simple and clear way and that is what I think this book does. Don't get me wrong, the sheer volume of this book is a bit intimidating to me, but I would rather have a comprehensive guide like this that to not be able to find answers (and I have bought other guides and realized I still did not have my answers). I really feel (from the limited use I have from this enormous tomb), that if this book does not have it, then you probably don't really need to know that. I have relied on other "dummies" books or similar ones (as there are all sorts of these types of books for all sorts of subjects including nursing, from nursing publishers, and is content which I teach), and find that they are all pretty good guides (some better than others of course). This series has been around a long time but this is the first one that I know of that has such a huge volume of information for the reader. My APA manual is dog-eared, and honestly, if this manual becomes dog-eared over time I will be a happy camper (and right now, I think it is destined toward a lot of use).

Not a quick start guide.

not an easy read. lots of info but does nor take you directly into utilizing excel. many online videos are much more concise and helpful.
