Learn Excel 97 through Excel 2007 From MrExcel by Bill Jelen
The original edition of Learn Excel from MrExcel offered 277 tips that applied to Excel 97 through Excel 2003.
The second edition offers 377 tips. Throughout the book, I've updated the screen shots to use Excel 2007. I still include the command sequences to solve the problems in both Excel 97-2003 and Excel 2007. You will find that 28 topics were removed from the original book (or consolidated with other topics.) That means there are 127 new topics in the book. Of the 127 new topics, you will find that 64 of them are applicable to Excel 2007 only. Particularly at the front of the book, I have 17 topics in a sequence to help the person who was just upgraded to Excel 2007. However, throughout the rest of the book, you will find 63 brand new tips that will apply equally well to Excel 97 through Excel 2007. Even in many of the tips that have been in both books, I've added new text to the topic to make the tip better. Even if you own the first edition of the book and still use Excel 2003, you will find many new techniques in the book.

Bonus! - Get an E-Book Copy for FREE!!
There are three ways to get this book:
My goal with Learn Excel 97 through Excel 2007 from MrExcel is to get this version in the hands of 5 million people. You can help by downloading the book and passing it on to your co-workers, etc. Some percentage of people who get the book will buy a print copy or will buy a printable e-book, so I believe that the counter-intuitive strategy of giving the whole book in one download will work fine. Personally - I think many people enjoy the physical feel of a book and will be willing to invest in a real copy of the book for yourself or even everyone on the accounting staff. Plus - if you don't agree it is a 5-star book, you don't have to buy it. This is the ultimate try-it-before-you-buy-it plan.
This free offer was originally aired on the daily, two-minute Learn Excel from MrExcel Video Podcast. Find the download to an e-book on this page celebrating the 500th episode!
