 Basic book, easy understandingDec 11, 2009
By Diogo M. Paes
The book is very good for engineers.
Knowing better EXCEL can facilitate a lot the daily tasks we have to do.
The book is very easy to understand, with many examples that can be followed in a computer without problems.
I was very interested in the Visual Basic section, which is a little poor in my opinion.
But it gives the basics and can be useful for someone that wants to begin coding in VBA.
For people that already know a little and want to improve in VBA, it is not a good option.

 error chapter 15Apr 07, 2010
By Jim M. Papadopoulos
Looking for a textbook to help my engineering students learn useful excel tools, I paid special attention to Chapter 15, which starts with a linkage example.
The so-called Freudenstein equation is given wrongly there, missing one of the cosine dependencies that make the linkage loop equation a little messy. Such an error really dashes the credibility of the entire book, although I suppose the author probably gets the Excel commands all right.

This book is riddled with errors. I downloaded errata sheets from the publisher/author website. But the book has lot more errors and typos in formulas, functions, charts etc than what's mentioned in the errata sheets. Explanations are incomplete and it is overall hard to follow. It is better to wait until there is a newer revised edition. I traded it in for a different excel book. Better choices appear to be:
Engineering with Excel (3rd Edition)
Numerical Methods with VBA Programming
