    Editorial Review

    You may not be a dummy, but that doesn't mean you were born knowing how to use spreadsheets. Excel 2000 for Windows for Dummies will bring you up to speed on Microsoft's premillennial package, even if you've never used anything like it before.

    A great reference for the beginner and the pressed-for-time, this book is organized as a series of chapters that build from the basics of pointing and clicking and figuring out the different parts of the spreadsheet to more advanced topics like Web-based data entry and macros. Visual learners will find much to love as well--there are screen shots galore and plenty of icons to point you to the most salient items quickly.

    Written in characteristic Dummies-style--laid-back and humorous--the text is as nonthreatening as can be; even the most diehard computer-phobes will find themselves chuckling as they (gulp) learn how to enter data. The techno-geeks down the hall might snicker at the bright yellow book on your desk, but you can snicker right back because you know you have better weekends. --Rob Lightner ... Read more

    2-0 out of 5 stars Good for Just Basics
    This book is fine if all you want to do is basic spreadsheets. If cutting, pasting, basic formatting, or creating VERY simple formulas is all you need to do then this book is fine. However, if you are trying to do anything more complicated forget using this book. For instance, the section on creating Macros wasn't very detailed. In addition, the book is completely missing any explanation of how to use the more complicated formula functions (there is no mention of how to do any of the statistical functions). Probably 80% of what an average user needs is in this book. But for anything beyond the basics, forget it; you'll need another reference.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Useless
    I foudn the book compleely useless and a waste of money.It explains nothing.After studying this book for two hours I was unable to do anything whatsoever in Excel. Look elsewhere.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Gentle intro but no depth
    This is a good book for a non stressfull introduction, but there are few good hands on examples. I've found that by doing complex detailed step by step examples you can learn more faster. The learnkey.com website has a good excel class ... Read more

    1-0 out of 5 stars Review- Simplified
    This book was too basic to be of any use. The book is not set up so one can look up a specific task and then see how to do it. The only book I have ever returned, and I buy two or three books a month.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Price online
    Whatever you do, do not buy this book at one of the store locations because they charge you full price, which seems funny since it is sold for much less online.The book was good, but paying full price for it like I did, is a big mistake.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Impressed
    I'm quite impressed and satisfied with this book and with the entire Simplified series. This book presents an excellent introduction to and overview of Microsoft Excel 2000. It is very accessible to beginners and provides useful information for more experienced users. For visual learners (like myself), the illustrations are a great help.

    It's challenging to take a complex subject and express it simply, clearly, concisely, and comprehensively. This book meets the challenge.

    Other books in the Simplified series are listed on Amazon.com under the author name Ruth Maran. A similar series (which I also enjoy very much) by the same author is the Teach Yourself Visually series.

    For further study, I recommend Course Technology: the Shelly Cashman Series; the New Perspectives Series; and the Illustrated Series (I particularly like the Shelly Cashman Series). And, of course, there is Microsoft Press: I like the Step by Step Series and the Running Series.

    These books are all available on Amazon.com. ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Good to get you started
    This book will introduce you to VB, don't but expect it to make a VB guru out of you. There is enough information to help you get confortable with VB and give you some ideas what to do with it. With that said this book will get you by, depending on what your goals are...

    1-0 out of 5 stars Confusing Lack of Explanation!
    The first two chapters of the book are informative and enjoyable, however, once certain programming concepts come into play (objects, properties, methods, etc.) there is an inexplicable lack of definition and explanation!The teaching style is driven by example, with no break (even for a few pages) to explain the dynamics of these key concepts in plain english.Any reader new to VBA or OOL (such as myself) will find him/herself left in the dark once they hit chapter three.I can only assume that a certain level of basic OOL understanding is expected, but we are never warned of this... until now!

    2-0 out of 5 stars not bad but would look else for vba titles
    very basic coverage not for someone looking, to have the answers spelt/out for you especially if your just begining to learning a programic language like vba, for the first time an average read anyway. ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Still holds up...
    Yep, this one is outdated just a bit, but I have to admit, I still reach for it when I need to work out those little problems with spreadsheets. This is a very easy to read, humorous, and down-to-earth guide to Excel. I especially love the chapter titled "Top Ten Thousand Keystroke Shortcuts." The chapter headings and sub-headings are very easy to follow, and the author includes clear screen shots that guide the Excel user through each step. The Dummies line of how-to books are excellent, and this is no exception. It still holds its own even with software upgrades.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!
    Very well written and easy to follow

    1-0 out of 5 stars Dumber Than A "Dummy?"
    You have to be far from an Excel "Dummy" in order to make good use of this book.It starts out showing you the various shortcuts and tricks that make Excel operate more efficiently, but it does nothing forthe person who's knowledge of Excel is limited to booting up the program. My biggest gripe that at no point did it give you a start-up spreadsheetthat would allow you to build your knowledge as you went along, using theshortcuts and tips that the book includes, so after you are about 100 pagesinto the book, you are saying to yourself, "So, if I want to set up aspreadsheet for my business, what do I put in 'A1'?"

    My advice is tofind someone who knows Excel, pay them the price of the book for an hour oftheir time, and go from there.You'll learn more in that hour than theentire book will tell you.That is, if you're a "Dummy" like me. ... Read more
