I bought this book about a month ago as I was fed up with Excel's limitations - and I needed to know what would work on PCs and Macs. This book has saved me time (& hence money).


The 2 that have worked so far for me are Hack #42 (dynamic named ranges) and #32 (cell formatting).


I understand that the cell formatting one is probably buried somewhere in the so-called documentation from MS but I never found it. And dynamic named ranges have so many different uses, I can't begin to list them all - list management, more efficiently run macros using pre-determined ranges etc.


There's about another dozen hacks which are now at the back of my head and the next time I update more workbooks, they will come into play.
