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?

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.

Take a look at Peter Nonely's workbook that describes lots of functions:

Norman Harker has his version at Debra Dalgleish's site:
