Book Reviews of Excel 2003 For Dummies
Book Review: Using Excel 2003
Summary: 4 Stars
On the whole the book is a good means of learning the basics of Excel 2003. I have been using this programme for some years but only recently started to integrate it into the idea of setting up a means for keeping the accounts in a small business. So far so good however it may turn out to be a slow process, when compared to a dedicated programme, but much less expensive. I would reserve my judgement for a time in order to prove how use can maintain its convenience. Amazon's service is good and has stood me in good stead for several years. I would not hesitate to go to them to find solutions, and to use their servicesBook Review: Just a Manual
Summary: 2 Stars
This is just a version of the manual without any sample exercises or anything. If that's all you need, its fine. I needed a tutorial with exercises, sample data to play with, etc. I found just what I was looking for in "Excel Personal Trainer 2003" which includes a cd with a lot of sample sheets and step-by-step exercises. In that book, the tutorial loads by itself but you have to manually copy over the sample spreadsheets.
BTW, I am actually using Quattro Pro 10 from Corel/Wordperfect but most things are the same or close enough to figure out.
Book Review: REVIEW OF A USED COPY OF EXCEL 2003 FOR DUMMIES
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the book in great condition and most of all I saved a lot of money. I purchased a used copy of EXCEL 2003 FOR DUMMIES because I am looking for a new job. At one time I had taken the class, but in this position, Excel is not used. It is true if you don't use it, you loose it. The book has been great to refresh my skills. It is easy to follow and understand. I still do not have access to Excel, but it works great with Open Office Spreadsheet program. I recommend this book to anyone that needs to know Excel.
Book Review: I can't find anything on pivot tables
Summary: 2 Stars
I already knew almost everything in this book, so I was disappointed when it arrived and I started looking through it. I ordered it hoping it would give me a simple explanation "for dummies" on what pivot tables are and how to create/work with them. They're not even listed in the index!
This book is great at covering all the very basic how-tos for someone who's never worked with Excel before; but it doesn't delve deeply enough into what the program can really do.
Book Review: Not as Helpful as it Could Be
Summary: 3 Stars
I was disappointed. Although it is good for very basic beginners, I was hoping it would help with functions that are more difficult. The Dummies Books are so good at explaining things in friendly terms. I was looking for the friendly terms to help me understand complicated functions. I was out of luck. I would only recomment this product for the very basic beginner.
