Review:
Not bad, but not as good as expected
I am an intermediate to advanced Excel user, so my review may reflect that level. As others have said, it looks like MS rushed this book to the market, evidenced by so many errata, which can be disappointing especially when the solution is wrong. On the other hand, there are some very interesting and genuine uses of various Excel functions to solve business problems.
I wouldn't recommend this book for beginners. If you're trying to learn Excel, this is not the book. It is not a book to teach excel, but a book to teach you what you can do with Excel to solve everyday problems, given you're familiar with the mechanics of excel.
I would recommend it with these caveats. And getting Walkenbach's book on Excel functions along with this would be very helpful in my opinion. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Review:
Very practical, but full of errors
Overall, I like this book, even though it is somewhat confusing, both in scope and in the target audience.
The techniques of \"naming the range\" or writing the \"if\" formula are certainly targeted for beginners, but most of statistical tools are normally used by more advanced users.
The worst thing, though, is that the book is full of errors, both typos and mistakes in problem solutions on the disk. I consider myself an intermediate user, so finding an error in \"instructor solution\" was more like an additional challenge for me, but for the beginner this could be very frustrating.
On the positive side - I really liked the idea of problems in the end of each chapter; so many books just give you the theory and then you do not know how to solve a real life problem. For most of chapters, I knew the tools, but still had to spend time figuring out the best way to implement it for problem solving.
Very practical book, good for an intermediate users. Just be aware of the typos !
