Special Edition Using Microsoft Excel 2000 puts a renewed emphasis on realistic applications and uses of the program features. This book does NOT take the cradle to grave approach in coverage. You get the most focused content and value of the essential intermediate to advanced level coverage. Additional coverage of undocumented features, often ignored topics, and practical advice on how to set up a "designer" look spreadsheet is provided. There is no waste of space--or your time--on beginner level coverage.

Review:

If data rules your life, odds are you're using (or you soon will be) Excel 2000, Microsoft's revised version of its premier spreadsheet application. Excel's complexity can be daunting, especially if you're a power user who intends to use it at advanced levels. With Special Edition: Using Microsoft Excel 2000, you can get a jump on the new and advanced features with clear, concise instructions written by people who've been deep inside Excel.

Beginning with the basics, this book quickly moves to advanced charting techniques, interacting with other users and Office applications, Visual Basic automation, Web and SQL use, and much more. The screenshots and other images are sharp and appropriate, the indexing makes navigation easy, and the tips and tricks peppering the text will save you time and hair loss.

On the CD-ROM, you'll find a wealth of Excel-related files and applications, including Spreadsheet detective and Evolver, as well as the complete text of this book. If you're a serious number cruncher, you'll need both Excel and Special Edition: Using Microsoft Excel 2000. --Rob Lightner
