## Description

(Note: There is a newer edition of this title on desertcart - search for ISBN 9781641880398). Here's your chance to finally learn how to use Microsoft Excel! In a single sitting, this quick and easy user guide will help you learn MS Excel basics, from navigating the home screen to working with formulas and charts. It’s a great Excel tutorial that will help you in the office, at school, or even at home.
Excel Basics In 30 Minutes, 2nd Edition is written in plain English, with lots of step-by-step instructions and screenshots that demonstrate exactly what to do. This MS Excel tutorial references Excel 2016, but most of the step-by-step instructions apply to earlier versions of MS Excel released as part of the Microsoft Office and Office 365 suites, including Excel 2013 and Excel 2010. If you don't own Excel, the book explains how to use two free online spreadsheets programs: Excel Online and Google Sheets (part of the Google Drive online office suite). The book also explains how to use the Excel mobile apps for Android and iOS.
Topics covered
Excel screen layout, cells, and terminology
Excel 2016 vs. Excel Online vs. Google Sheets
Excel for iOS and Excel for Android
Basic Excel formatting
AutoFill
Excel formulas and functions
How to make charts in Excel
Sorting and filtering
Collaboration and sharing
Exporting PDF, CSV, and other forms
Printing tips
Excel import and export formats (PDF, .CSV, .TSV, text, etc.)
This is not an Excel bible, but rather a basic Excel tutorial and reference that answers the core questions that any new Excel user will have:
What is a spreadsheet?
What are cells?
What is the button with the Greek letter for?
How can Excel spreadsheets create basic financial projections?
How can certain data in a worksheet be highlighted?
How can data be alphabetized or ranked?
How to edit a chart in Excel
How to print an Excel spreadsheet without cutting off columns
The second edition is up-to-date with new instructions and high-resolution screenshots of Excel 2016, Excel Online, and the new Google Sheets. It includes new sections about collaboration, OneDrive, and other features.
Real reader reviews
“Fast and easy, this book is everything it claims to be. The material presented is very basic but it is also incredibly accessible with step-by- step screenshots and a friendly tone more like a friend or co-worker explaining how to use Excel than a technical manual.”
”One thing I particularly liked about "Excel Basics in 30 minutes" is that it covers BOTH the MS Excel basics and the Google version basics. Explaining anything this intricate in 30 minutes is a challenge. (Can it be read in 30 minutes? Yes, I could do it, but I am not a typical user, I did not need to stop and practice the examples.) I was impressed that the book does go into some of the ‘meat’ of Excel while still being a book that someone with NO previous exposure to a spreadsheet can grasp.”

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ job done
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 May 2015*

Easy to follow, is a good refresher tool for someone who hadn't made spreadsheets in a long time, would be very useful for those using Excel for the first time

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear,concise would recommend for beginners
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 March 2016*

This book was actually purchased for a friend who was applying for a managers role at a call centre and needed a lot of help with doing excel spreadsheets. Instead of me losing my hair by sitting and talking him through everything I purchased this book and told him to read it over the weekend. He did and was througly impressed and more important was able to understand and also manage his spread sheets for his interview.It brings the reader through pretty much everything they need to know initially and in a simple and non verbose manner. Only reason I feel that it doesn't deserve five stars is that it may have been a tad on the short side. Again a matter of personal preference.Prime delivery was superb as usual.Would definitely recommend for complete beginners and even some intermediate invidvuals.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 September 2013*

I got this book as I have just started to teach a friend how to use Excel. I used to teach Excel to advanced users and becaus I could do all the things I wanted to do without thinking I got this book to remind me how to do the basic stuff. This book is on my Kindle and goes everywhere with me. I find it so useful.
