Straightforward and up-to-date — the nitty-gritty on working with Excel

Want to spend more time on your projects and less time trying to figure out Excel? This handy, portable guide gives you the facts in an easy-to-use format. Two Excel gurus bring you quickly up to speed on the 2010 version and then lay out the stuff you need to know: how to compare workbooks, manage worksheets, enter dates, work with formulas and functions, and much more.

• New for 2010 — learn to use the slicer report filter for PivotTables, in-cell charts (called Sparklines), table and PivotTable search filters, interactive PivotChart filters, and PivotTable custom calculations

• More than one — share workbooks, protect them from unauthorized use, or compare two side-by-side

• It's relative — use relative, absolute, and mixed references, and convert formulas to values

• Cell development — edit cell contents, copy cells and ranges, and enter dates, formulas, text, and values

• Chart your progress — choose a chart, modify its axis, create and add elements, and add context to numbers

• Tables and more — use tables, PivotTables, and PivotCharts effectively
