Excel is the most sophisticated spreadsheet program available in the world of personal Ecomputing. As such, this program is much more than just an electronic version of an accountant’s familiar green sheet for crunching numbers. For millions of users the world over, Excel is also their number one forms designer, their interface to the corporate database, as well as their premier charting program.
Given Excel’s indisputable versatility, it should come as no surprise that mastering the basics of the program, not to mention its finer points, is no small undertaking. My experience, however, in teaching adults to use all manner of Excel’s capabilities has convinced me that this mastery is greatly accelerated with just a modicum of hands-on experience judiciously applied to rather simple butrealistic data-related problems.
As its name suggests, Excel Workbook For Dummiesis designed to give you the kind of hands-on experience with all the major aspects of the program you need to start using the program for business or home with a certain degree of confidence and efficiency. As you’d expect from this type of book, the workbook is primarily composed of questions and exercises that give you plenty of opportunities to experience the purpose and benefits of Excel’s many features.
