I first borrowed Simon Benninga's book from a Professional Library, but was so impressed I decided to buy it via Amazon.. As a non intuitive IT person I particularly liked the 3 pronged approach taken by Simon. He lays out the spreadsheet as follows: a)display of the input and results b) text displays of the formulae c) commentary on the functions used and logic and alternatives A CD comes enclosed with the book which I downloaded but am not as yet trying to use. Instead I am manually recreating the spreadsheets and adding some supplementary comments and markers of my own -this is how I best learn. I hate p= r/n formulae - Simon quotes these but then lists them as actual formulae. All in all a very clear explanatory book - readily able to be interpreted and I am rapidly gaining enhanced Excel skills.. With over 1000 pages of examples of functions the book is a bargain. I thoroughly recommend it. Neil Fitzjames, Auckland, New Zealand
