Product Description

Excel can be daunting: that empty grid just stares you in the face when you start the program, challenging you to fill in the cells with thenumbers you need to crunch. How do you start? What do you do?

Creating Spreadsheets and Charts in Excel: Visual QuickProject Guide answers those questions and puts you on the straight track to getting the job done. This new addition to Peachpit's Visual QuickProject Guide series by Excel guru Maria Langer uses full color screen shots and numbered steps to walk you through the process of creating an Excel workbook file. You'll learn how to build a worksheet from the ground up, enter data, write formulas, and copy cell contents. You'll then see how to duplicate and modify worksheets to fine-tune them for your needs. The project's steps also include creating a consolidation worksheet, formatting all worksheets, creating a colorful pie chart, and setting options for printing your work. There's no time wasted in this book; Maria shows you the quickest and most efficient way to perform each task and doesn't waste paper with lengthy explanations or alternative methods. This slim book is all you'll need to get started creating spreadsheets and charts with Excel.

4 out of 5 starsGood starter book for Excel, 2006-05-30
I was looking around to find a book that does a good introduction to Excel with screenshots that I wanted to suggest for a friend. This is a nice book to read and get to know Excel step by step.
The author takes you through a step by step approach with an example to create a budget excel sheet.

Pros: Very good starter book
Cons: There could have been more examples.

There is a sample chapter available on the publisher's site and example workbooks are available on the author's website.

5 out of 5 starsA good beginning at using Excel, 2005-08-03
I went through this book in a morning, iBook in my lap and book on the arm of the recliner. I am converting from AppleWorks to Excel for my spreadsheet needs and found that the short length, clear screen shots, and availability of the the changing versions of the spreadsheet on the website made this very attractive to me. I feel like I have learned a lot and accomplished a lot, even though I will never make a budget spreadsheet like the example created in the book. I really liked the Mac and Windows screenshots side by side because so many Excel books only present the Windows version.
