Excel - Dueling Excel - Slaying Excel Dragons: - Episode 1339
Microsoft Excel Tutorial: Tricks from "Slaying Excel Dragons: A Beginners Guide to Conquering Excel's Frustrations and Making Excel Fun".
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Dueling Excel, where we pit two Excel experts against each other to see who can come up with the best solution to a given problem. I'm Bill Jelen, also known as MrExcel, and joining me today is the one and only Mike Girvin from Excel Is Fun. We have a special episode for you today, as we are not dueling, but rather announcing the release of Mike's brand new book, "Slaying Excel Dragons". This book is the culmination of years of teaching beginners and answering questions from Excel users in the working world. It is perfect for both beginners and experts, as it tells a complete story from beginning to end without leaving any gaps in the learning process.
In this book, Mike covers everything from basic formatting to advanced functions, all while keeping the reader engaged with his entertaining writing style. He even includes tips and tricks that will impress your boss or potential employer during an Excel interview. As I was reading through the book, I could tell that Mike had put a lot of thought into it, anticipating where readers may struggle and providing helpful guidance along the way. This is not just a book for someone who uses Excel in the real world, but also for someone who teaches Excel and understands the common pitfalls that beginners may encounter.
One of the things that sets this book apart is that it not only teaches the technical aspects of Excel, but also the practical applications. Mike's experience teaching a variety of content classes, including finance, accounting, and statistics, shines through as he shows readers how to use Excel in these fields. He even includes a set of homework problems for each chapter, making it a valuable resource for teachers as well. We believe that this book has the potential to revolutionize the way Excel is taught in classrooms around the world.
The book is available now in e-book format on mrexcel.com, and the print edition will be released in late February. In addition, Mike will be creating videos that cover the entire book, which will be available on a CD through our website. For teachers who choose to use this book in their classes, Mike will also be providing a set of downloadable homework problems. We are confident that this book will be a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn or teach Excel, and we thank you for your support. Don't forget to check out our next dueling excel podcast, where we will be back to our usual format of solving Excel problems in a head-to-head competition. See you next time!
