Excel 2019 Bible 1st Edition

5/5 RatingProsBook has EVERYTHING you need to learn about MS ExcelConsNone -a long time goal of mine was to become Microsoft Certified with Office and to learn Excel you either have to use it daily or study your tail off or take some kind of training course. I like to think I'm willing to do all three. My only issue, whenever i get serious work always pop up and I get dragged away. Now I have time and plan to utilize it.This book has EVERYTHING you want to learn about Excel and it's laid out in easy to digest chapters, only thing - It's a LOT of info and I mean ALOT.

The title of this review should suffice as a review all on its own. To be fair, I never have, nor do I intend on reading this from front to back… Instead, I use it as a manual when I am trying to do something new in Excel. Sure, you can probably find answers to most of your problems/questions with a quick search on the internet. Here’s the thing though; if your employer thinks you are an Excel wiz, do you want them to go into your internet search history and find something like, “how do you format cells as a table” or “list of Excel formulas”? Of course you don’t! Like me, you have your employer convinced that you are the subject matter expert when it comes to Excel.

I really like this book, I consider myself an intermediate excel user and I have found a lot of value in the book’s content. This book is geared toward a PC user, but if you have a general understanding of excel it is easy to figure out how it translates to a Mac. I use excel on my Mac as well as my work PC and the only real difference I have found is the locations of some of the buttons or the terms are slightly different. Either way, the formulas are the same. Do yourself a favor, invest in the book and get ready to really streamline your spreadsheet process.

The book assumes you have access to example worksheets which it discusses. It gives a URL to download the example worksheets but there are a couple of caveats:1. I at first could find the worksheet file. Turns out if I use Firefox or Edge there is no problem. With Google Chrome (my usual browser) there is simply no download button! I am therefore updating my review from one star since the original version was based on thinking the worksheet file was simply not available.2. Not all worksheets have examples. For example one worksheet discussed in chapter four (Figures 4.20 - 4.22) is not available in the download.This review is a bit premature because I am only on chapter 5 but I am leaving it here, edited, to correct my earlier one-star version.

This covers everything and explains it well. No matter how much of a beginner you are it will teach you how to do from the most basic things to the most complex. Book is over 1,000 pages, very detailed with pictures. Purchased this to be able to reach a fluent level of complexity for a job, but I also wanted to find the short cuts to be fast, and to make it easier. I tried using some videos but noticed they missed steps while explaining and I kept getting stuck. This is perfect. Note that this is not Office 360 but I am using Office 360 I can use the examples and still find my way. VERY HAPPY!!!!

Tells me in gorey detail how to do the things that I need to do but I generally don't want to know how to do. When you need this book you will know precisely what I am saying.

I purchased the Excell 2019 Bible to help me with my spreadsheets. I don’t have any Excell training but I am familiar with some of the basics by being self taught. The book in my opinion delivered the tools necessary for completing my work. I found it user friendly with examples & photos to support each section. I also needed to insert a lot of formulas in my spreadsheet & found this book to be ideal to accomplish this task. I highly recommend it.

Book is in good condition, as described. Delivery was great, don't know how it arrived so soon. Great.
