I'm learning Excel on the job and found this reference book extrememly helpful.

Added to Library with other books to help communicate ideas and thoughts to kids. Variety in communicating is a great way to see other angles to help kids figure out how things work.
I Love Math - Great Help for kids to learn how to apply them selves in Excel

This book is for someone who already know the basics. It's not for beginners. It's also a great reference guide if you have forgotten how to do something. I rented a few books from the library (this one was not available) but none of them delved into the "and" "if" & "vlookup" features very well.

This book is a little more complicated than I anticipated. But it is easy to follow the instructions and directions to do what you want. I just have to get more acclimated to it.

I am learning excel and picked this book up to aid my effort. If you are new to excel, this is not the book to use. It is more advanced and if you don't have a good understanding of basic excel, you might have problems following the lessons.
I found part one useful as it explains formulas and functions and using the ribbon interface.
Part two dealt more with finance. I skimmed it as it's not an area of interest but I think the discussion can be useful.
Part three was math and covered areas like statistics, averages, and forecasting. Useful but at the moment, not an area I can use.
Part four was working with data. Definitely a useful area if you need to do that stuff. Unfortunately for me not yet.
Overall a good book. Probably above me at the moment but it did show me areas I can go and it helped me understand the ribbon more!
