Great Desk Reference Book
I am an Excel novice, and the "Excel Bible - 2003" was a fantastic ready reference book for me. If you plan on doing ANY sort of analytical work on your PC, I highly reccomend using Microsoft Excel. As such, this book will help you successfully navigate through your first few days, weeks, and years of Excel.

Also, Mr. Walkenbach (the author) is very accessable. I had a few basic questions for him regarding Excel formulas, sent him an e-mail and had a response within 48 hours. Pretty remarkable, in my opinion.

Review of Excel 2003 The Bible
I needed a text book that was well written and easy to understand detailing advanced programming for Excel. I looked around for a while before deciding on John Walkenbach's "The Bible".
The information is well laid out and easy to follow.
It comes with a CD Rom with additional information but also includes the book in electronic form.

I am very happy with my selection and will be purchasing other text books from "The Bible" range.
