“If you’ve never quite grasped formulas and functions, Paul McFedries will radically expand your understanding and use of Excel. And if you’re already an expert and you’re moving up to Excel 2007, this book will quickly show you features you’ve only dreamed of until now...”
–Thomas ‘Duffbert’ Duff, Duffbert’s Random Musings, http://www.twduff.com
This book isn’t meant to be read from cover to cover, although you’re certainly free to do just that if the mood strikes you. Instead, most of the chapters are set up as self-contained units that you can dip into at will to extract whatever nuggets of information you need. However, if you’re a relatively new Excel user, I suggest starting with Chapters 1, “Getting the Most Out of Ranges”; 2, “Using Range Names”; 3, Building Basic Formulas”; and 6, “Using Functions” to ensure that you have a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of Excel ranges, formulas, and functions.
Formulas and Functions with Microsoft Excel 2007 is designed to give you the information you need without making you wade through ponderous explanations and interminable technical background.
