Negative Positive
Title: Good for limited selection of features
Review: Although "advanced" is in the title, this book is not advanced. A reader will get a lot more features reading Running Microsoft EXCEL 97 and a lot more examples reading EXCEL for Scientists and Engineers. However, if you want to see some EXCEL features put to use in the context of a simplified business, this book delivers. It does cover Pivot Tables and Goal Seek. It does not cover Scenario Manager nor Solver (Running EXCEL covers both, EXCEL for Scientists Etc. only Solver).It covers recording a macro, but not much about VBA (both of the other two books do both). If you want a real discussion of auditing a spreadsheet and structuring it to minimize errors, you will have to read EXCEL 97 Annoyances.In short, this volume is good to illustrate some EXCEL features in a realistic context. It doesn't go into great depth and many items are omitted.
