Hi everyone,

Does anybody have any suggestions about a good Excel book to get to
learn
how to use the functions and to learn how to write macros and pivot
tables
and vba code?

Thanks


For functions, the built-in Excel help systems actually quite good. Have
you
looked at it?





No I have not Thanks I will look into it.



Tip:
Open a blank sheet. Click Insert, Function. Pick a function that interests
you. A dialog box will pop up to help you provide the parameters for the
function. The box contains brief hints. If I recall, there's either a Help
button or a question mark button. Clicking the button will open the actual
help system to a section specific to that function. The trickier functions
often contain some very complete examples for useage.
