Default Does anyone read books?

If I were new to a subject, I would read a book about it and practice the
exercises, rather than ask simple questions like: "How do I add the value in
cell A1 to the value in cell A2 and put the result in cell A3?". Excel is
like algebra. After discovering the solution to the equation 4x+1 = 9,
(answer: x = 2), by asking someone else, did you learn how to derive the
answer by yourself and will you always continue to ask for help rather than
getting a book on the subject, be it Excel or algebra, and learn by reading?
Or is that too difficult? I see so often, "I just got Excel, but I'm not
willing to read and learn so I'll ask others." Got news for you. That
approach will not work; you won't learn much about Excel or anything else
for that matter. Have fun. :). We all have questions about things such as
Excel or algebra. It's just that some of us try to rely upon ourselves
before asking others, whereas some just say: someone else will provide the
answer.

To those of you brand new to Excel, I recommend books such as:

For absolute newbies:

Excel 2003 Step by Step (ISBN: 0-7356-1518-7) or Excel 2007 Step by
Step (0-7356-2304-X) both $24.99 at Barnes and Noble

Beyond newbie:

Excel 2003 Bible (ISBN: 0-7645-3967-1) or Excel 2007 Bible (ISBN:
0-4700-4403-9) both $39.99 at Barnes and Noble
Excel 2003 Inside Out (ISBN: 0-7356-1511-X) or Excel 2007 Inside Out
(ISBN: 0-7356-2321-X) both $44.99 at Barnes and Noble.

Just a thought. May your days be kind to you.

Dave

I do, I read books, mostly medical books. Dave do you read medical books?
Cause then maybe you could either treat youself if you got sick Usually a bad
thing) or realize just how complicated medicine is even with the books. For
some of us excel is like that - complicated even with a book. Therefore we
rely on those good souls, expert in their field to easily and accurately
assess, diagnose, and treat our problems. I also use search and that in
itself is often the cliff notes of what one needs to answer the question at
hand.

No, but a simple book on Excel could help you to get off the ground and use
Excel.You could learn the basics in one day.

Do not begin the compare Excel with medicine. Excel is a tool. Not a
science. I am amazed that if you are learned in medicine, you would not
recognize a tool and not a science. I think you are not what you claim to
be.

You really don't want to help anyone. Just show your "MVP". If you did, you
would suggest books to read and other sources of learning. . Not act like an
"MVP". Grow up.

It is a relevant point which Biff made, whatever method he chose to convey
it. Peo Sjoblom has made the same point to you, but still we get multiple

For

we
rely on those good souls, expert in their field to easily and accurately

Apparently Dave lacks a sense of humor. Either that or I'm just so insolent
that I don't know how to write joke. Can you recommend a good joke book?

All work and no play...

You really don't want to help anyone. Just show your "MVP".

And you're telling Biff to grow up??? This thread is just full of
hilarity. I agree there are plenty of folks who don't try enough on their
own, but that's got nothing to do w/the point about multiposting.

I think your x=2 bit is insulting to anyone who reads your post. Hard to
believe you are sincerely trying to help anybody w/your book suggestion when
you do so in a condescending manner.

If there are specific posters you would like to suggest some excel books to,
I really think you should respond directly to them.

Read the funny link?

Do you suppose there is a mental fatigue that Dave Thomas is in the
grip of. I hate to suggest insanity as I am new here but it does seem
that he has no concept of netiquette.

Not that I am afraid of alienating nor of insulting him. It just seems
such a shame that people are afflicted like that and online the only
responses such people provoke are unhelpful.

If you knew them personally you might have a great deal of sympathy
for such people even though avoiding them like the plague.

I'm not so sure that Dave has recognized a science just yet - since in most
of my experience the M.D.s have simply exchanged a lion's mane cape for a
white lab coat, and stethoscope for painted gourd rattle <g
In any endeavor, if someone tells me "here, TRY this..." rather than an
absolute "Here, this will correct the condition..." then I think "art or
mysticism or educated guesswork" vs "science".

And sometimes even the books don't help: look at how many people start out
early on writing =SUM(A1+A2) -- based on the examples given by the 'book'
(Help) provided by the tool's manufacturer ... ROFL!

Dave, when people ask me about beginner's books I usually point to "Microsoft
Office Excel 2003 All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies", the 9-books-in-1
edition by Greg Harvey. ISBN 0-7645-3758-X, $29.99 U.S.

But the simple fact of the matter is that people in non-programming or
non-development lines of work, be it physician or pool cleaner simply don't
have the time nor the inclination to sit down and start working through some
long learning process to get one simple job done that realize is a way that
will make their real task in life (putting food on their table, roof over
their head, clothes on their backs) easier. The learning curve is simply too
long.

Besides, if everyone knew everything, then what would justify the existance
of consultants? Or help forums like this one?

Jerry

I have been fighting some type of "connective tissue disease for" 18 months.

Last month my fourth or fifth Dr. said "There's a good chance you have Lupus.
What do you think?"

I was nonplussed to say the least.

So we got out the bag of bones and dried lizard skins and bat skulls. Rolled
'em out and went with that.

Default Does anyone read books?

Well said JL. Some folks can learn easily from books, and some can't. I
would hate to think if I would have had to "read a book" every time I had a
question.

Dave, when people ask me about beginner's books I usually point to "Microsoft
Office Excel 2003 All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies", the 9-books-in-1
edition by Greg Harvey. ISBN 0-7645-3758-X, $29.99 U.S.

But the simple fact of the matter is that people in non-programming or
non-development lines of work, be it physician or pool cleaner simply don't
have the time nor the inclination to sit down and start working through some
long learning process to get one simple job done that realize is a way that
will make their real task in life (putting food on their table, roof over
their head, clothes on their backs) easier. The learning curve is simply too
long.

Besides, if everyone knew everything, then what would justify the existance
of consultants? Or help forums like this one?

If I were new to a subject, I would read a book about it and practice the
exercises, rather than ask simple questions like: "How do I add the value in
cell A1 to the value in cell A2 and put the result in cell A3?". Excel is
like algebra. After discovering the solution to the equation 4x+1 = 9,
(answer: x = 2), by asking someone else, did you learn how to derive the
answer by yourself and will you always continue to ask for help rather than
getting a book on the subject, be it Excel or algebra, and learn by reading?
Or is that too difficult? I see so often, "I just got Excel, but I'm not
willing to read and learn so I'll ask others." Got news for you. That
approach will not work; you won't learn much about Excel or anything else
for that matter. Have fun. :). We all have questions about things such as
Excel or algebra. It's just that some of us try to rely upon ourselves
before asking others, whereas some just say: someone else will provide the
answer.

To those of you brand new to Excel, I recommend books such as:

For absolute newbies:

Excel 2003 Step by Step (ISBN: 0-7356-1518-7) or Excel 2007 Step by
Step (0-7356-2304-X) both $24.99 at Barnes and Noble

Beyond newbie:

Excel 2003 Bible (ISBN: 0-7645-3967-1) or Excel 2007 Bible (ISBN:
0-4700-4403-9) both $39.99 at Barnes and Noble
Excel 2003 Inside Out (ISBN: 0-7356-1511-X) or Excel 2007 Inside Out
(ISBN: 0-7356-2321-X) both $44.99 at Barnes and Noble.

Just a thought. May your days be kind to you.

Regards,

Dave
