I was disappointed
As both a long-term book editor and a lover of Excel, I am always on the lookout for good Excel books. An acquaintance showed me "Mr Excel on Excel" and I was not impressed.

There did not seem to be an easy flow to the information presented. In many cases I had to read the same material several times over to get the gist of what was being said. Had this book crossed my editorial desk, I would have definitely spent more time smoothing out these areas, and making them easier for an audience of all levels. As an advanced Excel user, I'm afraid that beginners to Excel may find it a little difficult to follow at times.

Sloppy Examples and editing - Book is waste of time
Of all the Excel books I consult, the most dismal in quality, accuracy, and clarity, is, without competition, Mr Excel. Time and time again I find myself frustrated with unclear, hard-to-follow text and samples due to mistakes, typos, or just plain sloppiness--on page after page. Anybody with the author's level of education and training should be ashamed to take credit for such a schlocky production and our money should be refunded at double the rate we paid for it. I am a professional analyst consultant and the Mr Excel book is a waste of my time and money.

Great Book - Great Resource
Let me get right to the point - This is a great book! If you're serious about mastering excel get this book.

I knew it was going to be useful when straight off there was a chapter on using the keyboard rather than the mouse! Something I found more than advantageous and time saving years ago - I'm glad this view is shared and passed along. This alone will save you hours of work time.

If you crunch numbers for a living, you'll be happy to know this is the book you've been looking for! Its down to business approach is an accountant's dream!
