Full Description

By virtue of the estimated 20-million-strong installed base of Microsoft Office users, Excel has become the de facto standard for spreadsheet applications. A powerful application needs powerful documentation, and Excel 2000 in a Nutshell, a detailed reference to every one of Excel's menu options and functions, is the key to unlocking Excel's many capabilities. The book's feature-based format means users can find what they're looking for quickly without having to spend extra time searching the index. Written for intermediate and advanced users, this book is divided into three main sections. The first section introduces Excel basics, such as creating and formatting worksheets and formulas, and surveys the new features of Excel 2000. It also includes a chapter on the anatomy of Excel that dissects everything from cells to toolbars. The second section details each Excel Menu option, from the Chart Menu to the File Menu to the Tools Menu. This section is the place to find handy tips for accessing the full power of Excel 2000's many options. The third section deals with Excel Functions, organized in an easy and accessible grouping by categories such as Financial, Date and Time, Statistical, and Database Functions. Topics in this section include:
  • How to use the NetWorkedDays function, which calculates workdays, to determine accrued vacation time
  • Performing financial calculations to determine depreciation of an asset
  • The many functions included in the Analysis ToolPak that comes with Excel 2000

"If you use Excel 2000, this is a must-have reference." --Charlotte Bytes, Sept 2001

"I had no idea of the many excellent things that were under the hood of Excel until I paged through this book. Excel 200 In a Nutshell will take the reader to the far limits that are possible in using the program. Anyone from beginner to expert user will find hundreds of ideas that will make Excel seem to come alive." --Gordon Nelson, DCC news, May/June 2001

"This treatment of Excel is different from other texts that you'll find in print on Excel. It is a great reference for finding the stuff you real need to know, without the usual accompanying fluff. I am not a newcomer to spreadsheets. However, until I undertook a review of this book, I never realized the full potential of Excel's complexity and the full power of the functions available to create formulas. It will help you generate knockout spreadsheets. As a reference, it has no peer." --Sam Gardner, PC News, Feb 2001
