Curtis Frye should be ashamed - 2009-04-19
Reviewer Rating:
Yes, there are errors in this book, but a quick search will bring you to the author's page with a listing of errata. However, this is not the only problem with this book.

First, the examples make very little sense. The reader never knows what she is using for the example. Features that make Excel a powerful program are so poorly written in the exercises that my students at a local community college had no idea what they did after following the steps.

Solver, Goal Seek, and Scenarios are usually features people love when they discover what these can do. However, in this book, it isn't even slightly clear as to what is happening.

Save your time and find another tool to learn Excel (Like the Missing Manual Series). Mr. Frye (the author) should teach a class before he writes a book (and if he has taught, he should read his reviews from students - I can send my students' reviews)

I do not recommend buying this book - 2009-03-22
Reviewer Rating:
I am an expert user of Excel 2003, and I have used many Step-By-Step books in the past which have proven to be helpful. I have only rated this book a 1 since there is not a zero rating. This book should never have been sponsored or released by Microsoft Press.

As indicated by previous raters: the errors are very abundant; the instructions are provided only as tips; and the actual exercises are almost meaningless. After completing the first four chapters of the book, it appears that the only intent of the author is to provide assistance to previous expert users of Excel 2003 on how to navigate the new cryptic menuing system of Excel 2007.

If you are a beginner or intermediate user of Excel, please find another source for learning this product.

This book has great information on Excel 2007 features, good examples on how to use the features and a CD with files to support the hands on exercises.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting to become an expert using Excel 2007.

Good Step by Step for Excel 2007 - 2009-04-11
Reviewer Rating:
This book and its exercises are good for an experienced Excel user who wants to master the Office Excel 2007 way of doing things and to learn the new styles, formats, and other functionality of 2007. If you are unfamiliar with Excel spreadsheets, you need to start with something much more basic. For a power user of an earlier edition of Excel, this book is very good.
