Whatever you're now doing with Microsoft Excel there's much more you could be doing. The world's most popular spreadsheet program, Excel grows richer in features with each new release. Excel For Dummies puts at your disposal all the powerful capabilities of version 5 -- capabilities for everything from manipulating databases to creating three-dimensional charts. Whether you're new to Excel or just new to version 5, bestselling author Greg Harvey's concise, clear, how-to explanations get you doing what you need to do quickly -- without a lot of hair-pulling and staying late at the office.

Greg Harvey, the author of more than 30 computer books, has been training business people in the use of IBM PC, DOS, and software application programs such as WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, Excel, and dBASE since 1983.
