Table of Contents
Preface

This workbook derives from many years of experience of the authors in Excel courses. The experience with students of different ages, background and employment status, ranging from first year university students to master students, up to managers and professionals with several years of work experience, has allowed us to understand how Excel is an indispensable tool useful in all kinds of jobs and at all levels, and is as important as poorly known. The majority of users, even those who say or believe they know how to use Excel, actually know and use only a very limited number of features, often in an elementary and ineffective way.

Excel in fact is the most used tool in businesses and offices, and its knowledge is a competitive advantage that college students already have when they need to carry out the first group work: those who know how to use Excel have an edge over the others. This competitive advantage becomes more important when they enter into a business environment. When facing an interview, one of the most feared questions is: So, you told me that you have a good knowledge of Excel: lets try to build a pivot table to analyze these data... and here starts a cold sweat and, while you try to draft a response, the belief that the position will be assigned to someone else grows. Employers know that those who have a good knowledge of Excel work more efficiently, and workers know that with a solid Excel foundation one can perform daily work better and more quickly, whether it is a table with a few simple formulas or the analysis of complex data.

This workbook allows putting into practice the use of a wide variety of formulas, functions and features (such as pivot tables, macros, statistical and financial functions, and the Solver add-in) that allow working effectively and professionally with Excel.

This workbook is divided into 12 thematic units. Unit 1 starts with the basics of Excel, and unit after unit the workbook is designed to arrive in a progressive manner to deal with very complex cases. In the dedicate web area at http://mybook.egeaonline.it you can find the digital edition of the book with all the initial and solved files that allow to perform the exercises and test the solutions. Among the 160 exercises available, over 80 are commented, to highlight the basic concepts and the peculiarities, and clarify the most complex tasks.
