Excel Books
Books on my shelf: | |
| Professional Excel Development by Stephen Bullen, Rob Bovey This is by far the most authoritative book on Excel development from Add-ins to APIs. A word of caution though, it is not for the beginners. | |
| Excel Advanced Report Development by Timothy Zapawa Ever wondered on using Excel as a report development tool? This might be an answer to it; however, my problem with this book is that it focuses too much on pivottables, and because of that it doesn’t do justification to the name of the book. At any rate, this is very good book to exploit pivottable to its limits. | |
| Excel 2007 Power Programming with VBA by John Walkenbach Of course, it cannot happen that you talk about Excel books and don’t mention Mr. Spreadsheet himself. I am his fan on personal and professional level. On personal level, I love his blog, and on professional level, I like his lucid language in his books. I recommend reading his books and blog both. | |
| Excel 2003 Formulas by John Walkenbach You thought you knew formulas? Just read this book and you’ll realize, which I do almost every day, that there just so much about Excel that we don’t know. John uses simple language, and introduces the readers from basic to advanced formulas. How advance you might ask, well, here is an example, which uses a formula similar to this:  | |
| Excel 2007 Formulas by John Walkenbach | |
Books that I have Read: | |
| Data Analysis and Decision Making with Microsoft Excel by S. Christian Albright I borrowed this book from the library. It is a very good for beginners. | |
| Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA by John Walkenbach | |
| Integrating Excel and Access by Michael Schmalz I borrowed this book from the library too. Excellent reference on developing applications using Access, Excel, and VBA. | |
| Mr Excel ON EXCEL by Bill Jelen Probably, this is my first book, which I read on Excel by Bill Jelen aka Mr. Excel. Fantastic book. If you have started knowing Excel just now, obtain a copy of this book right away. This is the right start for beginners. It uses very simple and clear language, and Bill provides great examples to make the learning useful. | |
| Guerilla Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel by Bill Jelen I had an e-version of this book, but for some reason its not working anymore. Anyway, I had chewed this book a lot. Again, it’s a great book for starters, especially, in data crunching. |
