Preface
Millions of Microsoft Excel users are busy creating and sharing
spreadsheets every day. Indeed, the spreadsheet has grown from a
powerful convenience to a transformative foundation for many
businesses, driving decision-making around the planet.Although Excel is a critical tool, many Excel users know only about a
subset of its functionality. They utilize the pieces they need, often
reusing more complex pieces from existing templates, and
don't dive too deeply into everything Excel has to
offer. Odds are good that no one user actually needs every feature in
Excel, so this approach is pretty reasonable. At the same time,
though, it means a lot of people never get far enough along the
learning curve to see the techniques they can use to make their work
much easier.
