How can data be alphabetized or ranked? How to edit a chart in Excel How to print an Excel spreadsheet without cutting off columns The second edition is up-to-date with new instructions and high-resolution screenshots of Excel 2016, Excel Online, and the new Google Sheets. It includes new sections about collaboration, OneDrive, and other features. Here are some real reader reviews of Excel Basics In 30 Minutes: “Fast and easy, this book is everything it claims to be. The material presented is very basic but it is also incredibly accessible with step-by- step screenshots and a friendly tone more like a friend or co-worker explaining how to use Excel than a technical manual.” ”One thing I particularly liked about "Excel Basics in 30 minutes" is that it covers BOTH the MS Excel basics and the Google version basics. Explaining anything this intricate in 30 minutes is a challenge. (Can it be read in 30 minutes? Yes, I could do it, but I am not a typical user, I did not need to stop and practice the examples.) I was impressed that the book does go into some of the ‘meat’ of Excel while still being a book that someone with NO previous exposure to a spreadsheet can grasp.” Excel Basics In 30 Minutes, 2nd Edition is authored by Ian Lamont, an award-winning technology writer and author of Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes, Twitter In 30 Minutes, and Dropbox In 30 Minutes.

“You can imagine how these techniques can help in real-world situations from tracking household expenses to make sales projections,” Ian Lamont writes in the introduction to his book, Excel Basics in 30 Minutes.~ What ~At one-hundred-eight pages, this paperback targets those who are seeking a quick way to learn how to use the well-known spreadsheet program, Excel, as well as Excel Online and Google Sheets. After an introduction, there are four chapters that explain the spreadsheet’s basics and skills, sorting and filtering, and printing, import/export features, and collaboration; each end with a short quiz. Afterward are the author’s notes and biography, glossary, two appendices, index, and a bonus introduction to Google Drive & Docs in 30 Minutes.First explaining the different formats of Excel and Google Sheets and how to access them online, a spreadsheet is shown with its header buttons and functions that include AutoSum, formatting, templates, and themes. After an interlude about AutoFill, more skills incorporate multiple worksheets, copying, pasting, adding, percentages, and division to name a few. A second interlude is about charts. The third chapter involves sorting, rearranging, and filtering while the final chapter covers printing, PDFs, and sharing. The appendices contain registering for Google Sheets and quiz answers.~ Why ~Having used Office 365 for a couple of years and worked on spreadsheets for over twenty years in my business, I like how the book is simple to understand with its many screenshot examples. It covers enough information quickly to be able to have some confidence as a beginner user. I appreciate the author’s explaining the differences between the different types of Excel and their capabilities.
