Why is the toolbar covered with buttons you never use? Why do you have to drill down through labyrinthine dialog boxes to find the command you want? Who decided which tabs appear in Excel's File / New dialog? Why does each new workbook look like it came out of the factory, not like you want it to? And what's all this add-in stuff that Excel discharges onto your hard disk and does it do anything useful?
Starting to get annoyed? Welcome to the club.
The good news is that you are not alone. Nor are you imagining things. Excel can be quite annoying. A lot of times it just doesn't work like it should. Many features within its powerful but complex and enigmatic structure could be a darn sight easier to use than they are. Beginners, advanced users, even the full-blown spreadsheet gurus get annoyed with Excel.
The better news is that you don't have to live with it. In this book we help you pound your annoyance level down as close to zero as humanly possible. From simple workarounds to ripping out the default demoware interface and replacing it with toolbars and commands that make sense for you! Create smart spreadsheets that help monitor themselves. Get the software doing more of the grunt work.
This book is geared toward Excel users who have doggedly marched along, spending days trying to get Excel to do what they need to get done. Getting more and more annoyed at what they perceive to be their own stupidity and inadequacy in trying to get this very powerful software to do something useful.
There's another group of Excel users, those who have been working with Excel long enough to be steamed at the software for its stupidity and inadequacy. Those who grit their teeth at the problems and convoluted features and grind their way through their spreadsheets, knowing there must be a better way but not having the time or patience to ferret it out. This book is for them as well.
If you've ever gotten really annoyed at Excel and wondered how anyone ever achieves full guruhood with this powerful, wonderful, exasperating piece of software - this is the book for you.
