Just days after receiving this book, a manager came into my office with a sticky Excel challenge. I thought I knew how to solve it but had forgotten. Using this book, in less than a minute we had the solution. Paid for the book plus on first use!

I bought Excel Hacks a couple of years ago. Loved it so much that when I saw that this one also included Excel 2007 I had to have it. This book shows you how to do things that you didn't know Excel could do. I have looked through these books about 6 times and every time I find something else I can use. I have even changed the code in some of them to meet my need. This book will also work for beginners as long as you type the code in exactly the way it is in the book.

I have the version which did not have the new added tips, so do not ask me how the newer edition is.
But the "old" edition is very, very good. It gave me many, many tips for solving problems I had with excel. And it helped me become the excel expert at my previous employer.

Do not use this book as a study guide, because it is not that. It contains hacks for several different types of problems.

Excel Hacks is extremely useful for anyone who works with MS Excel frequently. From the moment you open the book, or just page through it, you can pick up on so many useful tips that may not be apparent even in formal classes or after years of use. Having had both formal classes and spent years creating spreadsheets used in production environments, Excel Hacks has helped me improve my spreadsheet knowledge.

I've been preparing financial and statistical models in Excel for about 13 years, and I found the Hawley's book to be well written and organized. Unlike 2004's Excel Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips and Tools, this book covers how you can use Excel 2007 more effectively.

Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of Excel 2007 and its new layout and shortcuts, but this book is more useful than anything I've come across.
