I really liked the book, its filled with great tips from top to bottom.First part is all about accessibility like in spreadsheets. Second part is about interactivity and automation, which is a great feature to help reducing workload. Third part is about data analysis, which is a topic thats getting more and more important these days. The author shows a huge amount of different functions that can be used to to analyse data.He ends up the book with "Other Books you May Enjoy" which contains some great advice on which books are related to this one.My favorite part was chapter three, which was about "Toolbar Treasures". I work with Excel on a daily, however I found some great tips and shortcuts to implement and make my daily work way easier and faster.The whole book, including chapter three, is great to getting deep insights on how to use Excel effectively..

I have learnt more from Packt's Microsoft books in this year than I have learnt all my life.I wish this book was available with me when I started learning Excel during my school days. The sample spreadsheet has given me something to work upon and apply the tips provided in the book.This book tells you all what you don't have to do to be a more efficient Excel user. Definitely recommended.

I would recommend downloading the workbook from the provided GitHub link to get a better understanding of the possibilities within Excel. I have gained additional knowledge of several functions within Conditional formatting, which is the most important Excel feature personally. As I am turning pages, I am witnessing increased insights to be better at Excel.The author David makes sure that the book is relatable for all Excel users. His experience is very well administered when he shares his understanding of the software and its audience with sentences like,‘Some users purchase third-party software to extract data from PDF files due to a lack of better alternatives’Yeah David, that is me. I simply followed all the steps mentioned and voila, I managed to extract the PDF data directly into Excel without looking at any third-party apps.Such alternatives and information make the book an exercise in Excel expertise.

As a practicing CPA, the challenge with Excel has always been two-fold:1- To expand the overall knowledge of Excel so you recognize the situation where is can be used for a time-saving advantage.2- To know how to specifically use a certain function or formula to accomplish what you recognized in step 1.I need a source that gives me both the theoretical and the practical.This book bridges the gap between good theory and good practice.It serves as an encyclopedia of what Excel can do and you can zero in on specific sections that show you the how-to.It’s both the book you keep on the corner of your desk for excel research and the book you can give the accounting staff to help them implement a need you discerned for the client.David brings the same clarity of his webinars to the printed page.Highly recommend for all accountants and financial professionals.

The author is famous for conducting over 2,000 webinars on Excel. Teaching this many courses allows you to know what topics are important to Excellers and what questions people have. Some of my favorite sections of this book: Treasures for the Quick Access Toolbar, Checkboxes, Forecast Sheet, Solver, Excel Nuances in Chapter 9, The author finishes the book with three strong chapters on Dynamic Arrays, LET & LAMBDA, and Power Query, If you currently use Excel 20, 30, or 40 hours a week, you will find good tips throughout this book.
