I also have the Essentials book and it is a GREAT book used in a class. I wanted the Expert version and was initially mislead by blank pages and returned for another copy. Pages are left blank on purpose. was quick to respond to send another copy but it was not necessary as they were also unaware of the intentional blank pages which the publisher confirmed.

Best EXCEL book (out of six), I have ever ordered for the following reasons:-Lesson plans logically build on one another;-Chapter reviews ask questions that involve the need to incorporate skills you learned from prior lessons;-Advanced book clearly explains pivot tables in a way no book I have ever purchased has in the past;-Book purchase includes lots of free downloads including practice materials;-Finally, the price of the book given the quality, cant be beat.Both my mom and sister ended up ordering both books in this series because they were using my two so frequently.

I have ordered and read many Excel books and this book ranks tops as it teaches you and helps you learn by letting you practice what you learned. The short lessons serve as reference points for future use. This book is better than taking a live course because you get the more material than the easy examples taught in most seminars. This is a must for anyone who likes Excel and it matches any skill level. I learned so much in the first few lessons that I was tempted to go through the whole book and allow it to refresh my skills.

This is an excellent program but be sure to subscribe to the on-line video version as well. You get additional instructions not included only with the book.I didn't realize how much I didn't know from previous learning forums.

I can say only good words about this book:- It's very practical- It's consise and at the same time very well explained- It saves your time and money- It's a fantastic book and I recommend it everybody, who wants study Excel's advanced features

This is an excellent book to increase your knowledge of Microsoft Excel. The book is well written and the instructions are very easy to understand. Very help information to be used at home or out in the working world. Highly recommend.

Great price, awesome EXCEL info--I have used Excel for years, and I learned some new Excel 2013 techniques I never knew before! If you are just learning Excel, you may want to start with the companion volume, EXCEL ESSENTIAL SKILLS. Both SMART Excel books are excellent.

Mike Smart's books on Excel are the best. I am a person that actually dislikes Excel because it has been hard for me to learn. However, Mike's books are clear and informative, and I am actually learning the darn program! Now that I am actually learning Excel, I realize how incredible of a software it is.
