Excel 2013 Bible

This book is excellent. It is written for a beginner or an advanced user in easy to understand language! I am an advanced user and bought this to sharpen my skills and it is well worth the purchase. I am skimming through the basics and learning some new techniques that will save me time at my job as well reading about more complicated features that will greatly reduce my workload. Everything that I want to know is included in the book. I have several Excel books from different authors and this is the book that I will keep handy for quick reference as well as reading in detail. I highly recommend this book!

I have become a very accomplished Excel office guru due mostly in part to John Walkenbach's Excel Books. I started off With Excel 95 and moved on to Excel Formulas, Excel VBA, Excel Bible etc. As a matter of fact I have been able to use my Excel knowledge that I learned from Reading Walkenbach books to make around 5K in the last 10 years, and that's not even trying. When people see my Excel work they asked me where I went to school, and I tell them I didn't. Then they ask how did you learn this, and I tell them I read a book. They then look at me and ask "What book? I want to get that one." That's when I tell them about John's books. Looking at my library I have 10 Walkenbach books (Even a Chinese one). Though I no longer need the book I ordered it for my son's whom are just now learning Excel, and what better way to learn from the best. Looking over the book it's clearly written with many valuable examples. What I find is when you are learning it's not enough to just explain how to do something, but to show you a picture and an example give you 10x the learning experience. This book doesn't disappoint in this area for it has many examples. Earlier I said I had become the Office guru and didn't need this book, and bought it for my Son's. Well guess what? I learned something! Yes even a person who has been using Excel for years should find something in this book that they didn't know, or a better way to do something. The one thing that I miss in this book is there is no attached CD with example files. These files are invaluable in saving time when learning, but the examples are in the book, one would just need to type them in, and it's certainly not a deal breaker. So bottom line if you want to learn Excel this book is for you. If you want to learn it better, this book is for you. If you want to just brush up on areas of Excel you don't use much, this book is for you. If you would like a gift for a college student learning Excel, this book is for you. With the many areas of Excel training on the market you have to choose wisely which ones to spend your dollars on. When it comes to Excel books the choice is easy - John Walkenbach, no other name is needed. I couldn't recommend his books more highly. Ken

I knew nothing about spread-sheets before reading this book. I am still learning and will be learning for a long time in the future. This book is complete, concise, precise and an authoritative presentation of Microsoft's Excel 2013. It is helping me construct a detailed monthly budget which enables me control expenditures. This book will be a valued instructor on Excel 2013 and a valuable library resource in the future. The book is worth the money that I spent.

Great reference book for a beginner like me. It's very simple and understandable. I didn't know much about excel, and this book has built my confidence and has taken me to the next level. I feel so proud of myself when I can assist my Co workers with excel questions. They've noticed my excel improvement and are willing to improve their skills also...they're all going to purchase this book also!! I believe I'm ready for the next phase....thanks to my EXCEL BIBLE!!

I used Excel 6 years ago when I worked. I had multi-sheet spreadsheets and had cell populating and doing mathematical computations based on entries into other spread sheets. then those figures were translated to graphs on yet another sheet. So back again to using excel and the book; I have been able to find everything I have wanted to do so far. My only caveat is: I don't know how this book will do for a beginner since I have not used it in that manner. I, am totally satisfied with it!

As I've mentioned in reviews of other works by Walkenback, his work is outstanding. This is indeed a reference book. If you sit down and read this at one setting, cover to cover, you may need medical attention. As far as a complete, well organized book on Excel? There is no other compared to this book. Get it, keep it handy, you will really enjoy the speed with which you can find material of immediate value to your work.

Well, the book came on time, it is cool but first of all it does not have a CD to install a PDF version. The book explains every part of excel but it does not have good graphics. My friend has 2008 edition and it is not so much different because I think the author inserted some text boxes explaining new things about windows 8 and that's it.

Excel 2013 Bible I got this for a VBA coding class a couple years ago and let me tell you that both this and the Excel 2013 Power Programming with VBA, link below, saved my grade that semester. It really helped me understand how to use VBA for various applications and went through step by step on how to code. I am not a coder and by the end of the semester I was writing hundreds of lines of code for not only the class but for my own personal use. Would absolutely recommend for any novice in excel VBA.

Atendeu totalmente as minhas expectativas. Cobre os principais pontos de maneira objetiva. A organização do conteúdo, é, na minha opinião outro ponto a ser destacado. Marcus

I use excel everyday and I am an advanced user (I perform macros and I just use shortcuts, no mouse) but this book improves your knowledge of the software, teaching you new aspects of the program you would have never discovered

Excellent bouquin....et bien que l'on utilise ce programme essentiellement avec ses fonctionnalités de bases, cet ouvrage est plus que complet sur le sujet. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas traduit en français

A very detailed book written by the person who knows Excel inside out. Mr. Walkenbach changes the way I look at Excel. It is not just a spreadsheet.

Absolutely brilliant book. I found out about it by a pure accident and can`t be grateful enough to a person who recommended it to me. It`s written in plain language, hence it should suit everyone. All terms, formulas, functions, procedures etc. are explained in the smallest detail and easy to follow. It is one of those things that everyone must have in their households.
