| Every time a new version of Microsoft Excel appears, you're
introduced to another batch of powerful features--most of
which you'll never understand or use. Even if you're
experienced with this spreadsheet program, you'll struggle
to keep up with all of the improvements. But if you're a
beginner, you probably don't know where to start.
Now, with Excel 2003 Personal Trainer, beginners and experts
alike can become black belts, quickly and easily. This fully
illustrated book takes a modular approach to learning,
allowing you to start with the fundamentals and work your
way to advance topics through dozens of task-oriented
lessons---at your own pace. The companion CD tutorial guides
you through each lesson interactively.
Excel 2003 Personal Trainer includes sections on editing,
formatting, functions, formulas, lists, macros, creating and
managing workbooks, and creating and editing charts. You'll
also learn data analysis, what-if analysis, pivot tables,
how get Excel to work with other programs and the Internet,
and advanced topics like using detect and repair. Every
chapter includes detailed diagrams and a review at the end
to help you absorb and retain all you have learned.
If you already use Excel, you can dive right into those
topics (and only those topics) that you need or want to
learn. Unlike many consumer software tutorials that dumb
down the material or present it in a confusing fashion,
Excel 2003 Personal Trainer is written in a non-technical
and engaging style that you will find fun, easy, and most of
all, clear and informative. You don't have to wade through
tons of jargon and technical information to become
proficient with Excel.
Part of our new Personal Trainer Series, this book is based
on content from CustomGuide (www.customguide.com), a leading
provider of computer training materials. Founded by
instructors who grew dissatisfied with the industry's dry
course materials, CustomGuide offers courseware (for
instructors and students), quick references, to software
bulletins and e-learning courses that are fun, flexible, and
easy to use.
