Let me say this. You are correct on two points: 1. I should have been more specific in my review. I was excited by some of the ideas that were presented in this book that I haven't seen in other Excel text and let it reflect in my overly positive review. How awful. 2. You are horrid as is your overly critical comments. There are errors in the book that I've noted online. I still find HACKS an excellent source for Excel skills that do not appear in other text. For example: Summing on Specific Colors (HACK # 88). Using the Match Function in Dynamic Ranges to locate the last "text" and "number" entries (p. 100 & 101). Errors are present in this HACK (#42 p.101), but the idea will still add to my knowledge of Excel and help me with future projects. The book is worth the purchase price, but I will be more careful in my "review posting" knowing there are people out there like you. I can thank you for that.
