Does anyone read books?

If I were new to a subject, I would read a book about it and practice the
exercises, rather than ask simple questions like: "How do I add the value in
cell A1 to the value in cell A2 and put the result in cell A3?". Excel is
like algebra. After discovering the solution to the equation 4x+1 = 9,
(answer: x = 2), by asking someone else, did you learn how to derive the
answer by yourself and will you always continue to ask for help rather than
getting a book on the subject, be it Excel or algebra, and learn by reading?
Or is that too difficult? I see so often, "I just got Excel, but I'm not
willing to read and learn so I'll ask others." Got news for you. That
approach will not work; you won't learn much about Excel or anything else
for that matter. Have fun. . We all have questions about things such as
Excel or algebra. It's just that some of us try to rely upon ourselves
before asking others, whereas some just say: someone else will provide the
answer.

To those of you brand new to Excel, I recommend books such as:

For absolute newbies:

Excel 2003 Step by Step (ISBN: 0-7356-1518-7) or Excel 2007 Step by
Step (0-7356-2304-X) both $24.99 at Barnes and Noble

Beyond newbie:

Excel 2003 Bible (ISBN: 0-7645-3967-1) or Excel 2007 Bible (ISBN:
0-4700-4403-9) both $39.99 at Barnes and Noble
Excel 2003 Inside Out (ISBN: 0-7356-1511-X) or Excel 2007 Inside Out
(ISBN: 0-7356-2321-X) both $44.99 at Barnes and Noble.

Just a thought. May your days be kind to you.

I do, I read books, mostly medical books. Dave do you read medical books?
Cause then maybe you could either treat youself if you got sick Usually a bad
thing) or realize just how complicated medicine is even with the books. For
some of us excel is like that - complicated even with a book. Therefore we
rely on those good souls, expert in their field to easily and accurately
assess, diagnose, and treat our problems. I also use search and that in
itself is often the cliff notes of what one needs to answer the question at
hand.

No, but a simple book on Excel could help you to get off the ground and use
Excel.You could learn the basics in one day.

Do not begin the compare Excel with medicine. Excel is a tool. Not a
science. I am amazed that if you are learned in medicine, you would not
recognize a tool and not a science. I think you are not what you claim to
be.

You really don't want to help anyone. Just show your "MVP". If you did, you
would suggest books to read and other sources of learning. . Not act like an
"MVP". Grow up.
