I picked up this book because it had nice color examples and the feel of the pages is not gritty or too thin. It's a nice book for someone getting started with Excel 2010 and covers the basics: Creating Basic Worksheets Creating Formulas and Functions Formatting and Printing Formatting Data Storing and Managing Tables and Lists Exploring Financial Functions and Scenarios Working with Math, Statistical and Text Functions Creating and Formatting Charts Working with Pivot Tables Correcting and Validating Data Protecting and Sharing Data
There are 354 pages of information--including the index. Nicely laid out and in the typical Dummies style, humorous at times. The CD has some premade files to practice a lesson and I had no problems with the book or the CD.
