Important. This book is specifically written for Excel 365 for Windows. There is also an Excel 2021 and Excel 2019 version of this book.
Here are some of the reasons that you should choose this book to learn Excel 365:
- It is up to date. New editions of our Excel 365 books are published when significant new features are added. This sixth edition was completely updated in January 2022.
- Absolutely anybody can learn Excel using this book. You will repeatedly hear the same criticism of most Excel books: “you have to already know Excel to understand the book”. This book is different. If you have no previous exposure to Excel 365, and your only computer skill is using a web browser, you’ll find it really easy to work through the lessons. Everything is concisely described in a way that absolutely any student, of any age or ability, can easily understand.
- It provides the fastest possible way to learn Excel. With single, self-contained lessons, this book caters for any self-learning or teaching period. Many learners have mastered Excel by setting aside just a few minutes each day to complete a single lesson. Others have worked through the entire book in a single day.
- It focuses upon skills used in the real world of business. This book makes it easy to master Excel to a standard that will greatly impress most employers because it doesn’t confuse by including skills that are not commonly used by most office workers.
