Until now, Microsoft Excel has been the leading spreadsheet software for Apple Macintosh, while Lotus 1-2-3 has held near-exclusive domain over IBM PC compatibles. But with the release of Microsoft's Excel for the PC, the tables have turned: Excel invades the IBM compatibles' marketplace with the reputation of being faster and more powerful than Lotus 1-2-3, as well as being easier to learn and use, with superior graphics and database features. This book provides an introduction to using Excel in the PC environment, written by Ruth Ashley and Judi Fernandez - co-authors of many popular guides to software. They aim to supply all the tips and techniques readers will need to maximize Excel's advanced features, such as the use of charts, macros, tables, and databases. They introduce programming in Excel via macros and show how users implement these programming techniques on the job. In addition, they include numerous exercises, examples, checklists and guidelines to help readers solve problems and refine techniques.
