I saw this in the library and decided to look at for a refresher for excel. My new company uses it and I haven't really had a need to use excel in many years.
If you are low on funds then this book could help. You get to build two workbooks and play around with some advanced functions like links and importing data. There is an emphasis with the fill function and naming cells, etc.
Overall, it's ok but I would not suggest it for the beginner especially if you have Excel 2007. The interface has changed and you will have to dig around to find some things as they are no longer where the book says to look. Some things have been replaced such as a couple of the wizards mentioned.
This did get annoying at times....
