The book of the main guru Excel John Walkenbach. A weighty Talmud that makes no sense to read from cover to cover - refer to it as a reference for any question. Exactly that for any (well, almost) - a very wide coverage of topics. There's even a section on macros basics to get a basic understanding of them. Formulas and graphs are discussed in detail.

It should be noted that such books Walkenbach makes for each version. 2007, 2010 and 2013 are not that much different from each other, and I still get by with the 2010 book.

In the Russian edition, the 2010 version was made on slightly worse paper, but with better screenshots.

I want to acknowledge the great work of the Russian publishers of Walkenbach's books - they localized all the examples and files.

This book is better in execution than the User's Bible. Nice paper and illustrations.

Suitable if you already know the basics and want to delve into pivot tables, formulas, data analysis. The book contains examples and a detailed description of basic Excel functions, array formulas, complex and little-known formulas (for example, RAZDAT, which is not in the function wizard and in the auto-completion list - it can only be entered manually if you know about it) and - that, perhaps, the most valuable are advanced formulas created from several functions (such as a formula that allows you to find the occurrence of some text in a cell -)

Although short Excel fundamentals are given here too - so if you're not entirely new, the first workbook can be ditched in favor of this one.

A few examples of useful formulas from the book:

The formula for calculating the quarter number by date:

\u003d ROUNDUP (MONTH (A1) / 3,0)

Counting the number of unique values \u200b\u200bin an interval (array formula):

(\u003d SUM (1 / COUNTIF (Interval; Interval)))

Search for the nearest value in the range (looking for the number closest to the "Target" from the "Data" array)

(\u003d INDEX (Data; SEARCH (SMALL (ABS (Target-Data); 1); ABS (Target-Data); 0)))

The effect of alternating lines in conditional formatting:

Create a condition for the formula:

\u003d REST (ROW (), 2) \u003d 0

and paint the cells with the desired color.

There are hundreds of such examples in the book. My copy is all in sticky notes - it marked interesting and useful ideas.

The best Excel book for those involved in analysis, statistics, reporting, working with large arrays.

The most complete and quality guide to creating macros in Excel. She helped out in many situations, helped a lot to create complex projects in VBA (a la the automatic creation of analytical reports in Word based on management reporting in Excel).

Complete with the book, the author offers files with all the examples discussed in it. There are a lot of them. This is invaluable material that allows you to quickly learn how to write macros in practice, combining the "typing method" with the information from the book.

By the way, there are the same sample files for the first two books in this review.

In 95% of cases, I manage to find the answer to an Excel question in one of these three Walkenbach books. His books are more voluminous and more expensive than the countless "tutorials" on the market. But it is better to invest in them once and have high-quality information at hand than to be guided by the seeming simplicity of a tutorial that promises quick and fundamental mastery of the material 🙂

This book is for those who love the format of "life hacks", ready-made solutions.

For fundamental mastering Excel, unlike the first book on the list, is not suitable, but with a high probability it will help to quickly solve the current work problem. The book contains 100 tips like "How to Make Two Charts the Same Size", "Detecting Extra Spaces" and "Removing Minus Signs from Negative Numbers."

Note that the VBA language changes little and does not depend on versions. For a long time I used the book "Excel 2003. Professional VBA Programming" and only by the release of the 2013 version I got a new edition. So in the case of this book, do not be confused by 2010 in the title.

There are tons of useful articles and video tutorials. By the way, the author of this site has his own book with ready-made techniques and solutions. And it comes with sample files. Recommend.

Working with Excel: a tutorial. Excel (Excel) - one of the basic programs of the Microsoft Office suite. It is an irreplaceable assistant when working with invoices, reports, tables.
Excel (Excel) allows you to:
program, store huge amounts of information
Build graphs and analyze results
Make calculations quickly
This program is an excellent choice for office work.
Getting started with Excel (Excel)
1. Double-clicking on the sheet name, enter the editing mode. In this panel, you can add a new sheet to the book, delete an unnecessary one. It's easy to do - you need to right-click and select the "Delete" line.

2. It is easy to create another book - select the New line in the File Menu. The new book will be placed on top of the old one, and an additional tab will appear on the taskbar.


Working with tables and formulas
3. An important function of Excel (Excel) is convenient work with tables.


Thanks to the tabular form of data presentation, tables automatically turn into a database. It is customary to format tables, for this we select the cells and set them separate properties and format.


In the same window, you can perform alignment in a cell, this is done by the "Alignment" tab.


The Font tab has the option to change the font of the text in a cell, and the Insert Menu lets you add or remove columns, rows, and more.


Moving cells is easy - the "Cut" icon on the Home tab will help.


4. No less important than the ability to work with tables is the skill of creating formulas and functions in Excel.


Simple F \u003d ma is a formula, force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.


To write such a formula in Excel (Excel), you must start with the "\u003d" sign.


Print document
5. And the main stage after the completed work is the printing of documents.

On the second or third line, Excel will try to predict our actions and perform further processing automatically. All you have to do is press the Enter key to confirm, and all names will be converted instantly. Similarly, you can extract names from email, glue names from fragments, and so on.

You are most likely aware of the magic autocomplete marker. This is a thin black cross in the lower right corner of the cell, by pulling on which you can copy the contents of a cell or a formula to several cells at once. However, there is one unpleasant nuance: such copying often violates the design of the table, since not only the formula is copied, but also the cell format. This can be avoided. Immediately after pulling the black cross, click on the smart tag - a special icon that appears in the lower right corner of the copied area.

If you select the Fill Without Formatting option, Excel will copy your formula without formatting and will not spoil the layout.

In Excel, you can quickly display your geodata on an interactive map, such as sales by city. To do this, go to the Office Store under the Insert tab and install the Bing Maps plugin from there. This can be done from the site by clicking the Get It Now button.

After adding a module, you can select it from the My Apps drop-down list on the Insert tab and place it on your worksheet. It remains to select your cells with data and click on the Show Locations button in the map module to see our data on it. If desired, in the plugin settings, you can select the type of chart and colors to display.

If the number of worksheets in the file has exceeded 10, then it becomes difficult to navigate them. Right-click on any of the sheet tabs scroll buttons in the lower left corner of the screen. The table of contents will appear, and you can jump to any desired sheet instantly.

If you've ever had to move cells from rows to columns with your hands, then you will appreciate the following trick:

  1. Highlight the range.
  2. Copy it (Ctrl + C) or, by clicking on the right mouse button, select "Copy" (Copy).
  3. Right-click on the cell where you want to paste the data and select one of the Paste Special options from the context menu - the Transpose icon. Older versions of Excel do not have such an icon, but you can fix the problem by using Paste Special (Ctrl + Alt + V) and choosing the Transpose option.

If it is supposed to enter strictly defined values \u200b\u200bfrom the allowed set into any cell (for example, only "yes" and "no" or only from the list of company departments, and so on), then this can be easily organized using the drop-down list.

  1. Select a cell (or a range of cells) that should have such a limitation.
  2. Click the "Validation" button on the "Data" tab (Data → Validation).
  3. In the drop-down list "Type" (Allow) select the option "List" (List).
  4. In the “Source” field, specify the range containing the reference variants of the elements, which will subsequently drop out when typing.

If you select a range with data and on the "Home" tab click "Format as a table" (Home → Format as Table), then our list will be converted into a smart table that can do a lot of useful things:

  1. Automatically stretches when new rows or columns are added to it.
  2. The entered formulas will be automatically copied to the entire column.
  3. The header of such a table is automatically fixed when scrolling, and it includes filter buttons for filtering and sorting.
  4. On the "Design" tab that appears, you can add a totals row with automatic calculation to such a table.

Sparklines are miniature charts drawn right in cells that visualize the dynamics of our data. To create them, click the Line or Columns button in the Sparklines group on the Insert tab. In the window that opens, specify the range with the original numerical data and the cells where you want to display the sparklines.

After clicking on the "OK" button, Microsoft Excel will create them in the specified cells. On the "Design" tab that appears, you can further customize their color, type, enable the display of minimum and maximum values, and so on.

Imagine: you close the report that you were messing with for the last half of the day, and in the dialog box that appears "Save changes to file?" suddenly for some reason you press "No". The office announces your heart-rending scream, but it's too late: the last few hours of work went down the drain.

In fact, there is a chance to rectify the situation. If you have Excel 2010, then click on "File" → "Recent" (File → Recent) and find in the lower right corner of the screen the button "Recover Unsaved Workbooks".

In Excel 2013, the path is slightly different: File → Info → Version Control → File - Properties - Recover Unsaved Workbooks.

In subsequent versions of Excel, open File → Info → Workbook Management.

A special folder from the bowels of Microsoft Office will open, where temporary copies of all created or modified, but unsaved books are saved in such a case.

Sometimes when working in Excel, you need to compare two lists and quickly find items that are the same or different in them. Here's the quickest and most intuitive way to do it:

  1. Select both compared columns (hold down the Ctrl key).
  2. Select Home → Conditional formatting → Highlight Cell Rules → Duplicate Values \u200b\u200bon the Home tab → Conditional Formatting → Highlight Cell Rules → Duplicate Values.
  3. Select the Unique option from the dropdown list.

Ever tinker with the input values \u200b\u200bin your Excel calculation to get the output you want? At such moments you feel like a seasoned artilleryman: just a couple of dozen iterations of "undershoot - overflights" - and here it is, the long-awaited hit!

Microsoft Excel can do this for you, faster and more accurately. To do this, click the "What If" button on the "Data" tab and select the "Parameter selection" command (Insert → What If Analysis → Goal Seek). In the window that appears, specify the cell where you want to select the desired value, the desired result and the input cell that should be changed. After clicking on "OK" Excel will execute up to 100 "shots" in order to find the required total with an accuracy of 0.001.
