Free Excel "book" from MrExcel

[Cosmos75]

Wanted to pass this on!

Preview the new book from MrExcel hemself! Sign up and you will receive one electronic chapter from the book every week until you have the whole book (800 pages). Click here.

This new book will hit the bookstores in September 2005. But - the hard work is done - the book is off to prepress for indexing, printing, etc. I have the guts of the book here and I will give it away to you. Sign up now and I will e-mail you one chapter a week. No strings attached - with a little patience, you can have a good chunk of the book on your hard drive before the first copy ever hits Borders. In fact - you never have to buy the book - even after the book comes out, I will keep sending you a chapter a week until you have the entire book. Personally - I think many people enjoy the physical feel of a book and once you've read the weekly chapters, you will be willing to invest in a real copy of the book for yourself or even everyone on the accounting staff. Plus - if you don't agree it is a 5-star book, you don't have to buy it. This is the ultimate try-it-before-you-buy-it plan.

Just thought I'd post a public service announcement for those new to the forum. You may notice on occasion that Zack drinks a little too much coffee and goes a little .

It's nothing to be alarmed about, though, and usually passes by the next morning.

I actually got that book and the Pivot Table book for like 30 bucks online (well my office got it)....I had them get them for the folks that I support so they would stop bugging me so much!

From what I hear, they are excellent....from what I read, they appear to be very easy to follow....

I bought two of Jelen's books, PivotTable Data Crunching and Guerilla Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel. I highly recommend either to a beginner, but if you are already an advanced user of Excel, skip Guerilla, and if you are already a PivotTable power user, skip the PT book. The OLAP cube stuff was helpful, but everything else was old hat for me.

That is not a knock on the book at all--for the right audience, it is excellent.

Exactly my point. I showed them my books, but they looked like a showed them a beginners guide to Latin. So I ordered those two books for the "beginners' in our office that have been using excel for more than 10 years but never heard of VLOOKUP.
