This book makes Excel for Dummies™ look like it was written for rocket scientists!

If the thought of opening Excel makes your palms sweat, you’re not alone. Most Excel books assume you already know the basics—but what if you don’t? What if you’ve never clicked into a cell, never typed a formula, and don’t even know what a spreadsheet is?

That’s exactly where Don’t Fear the Spreadsheet begins.

Author Tyler Nash had never opened Excel before writing this book. With the help of three Excel MVPs (a.k.a. world-class Excel gurus), he forces them to go back to square one and explain—in plain English—what to do when you’re staring at a blank worksheet for the very first time.

No jargon. No assumptions. No “you should already know this.” Just step-by-step instructions, crystal-clear examples, and full-color illustrations that guide you from total beginner to confident Excel user.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Navigate the Excel interface without getting lost

Enter, edit, and format data in a way that makes sense

Create simple formulas that do the math for you

Build easy-to-read tables and charts to present your data

Save, print, and share spreadsheets without frustration

Avoid the most common beginner mistakes (and fix them fast)

At 222 pages in full color, this book is written for the true Excel beginner—someone who’s been too afraid (or too frustrated) to dive in until now.

Whether you’re starting a new job, managing household finances, or just trying to make sense of data, Don’t Fear the Spreadsheet gives you the confidence to finally conquer Excel.
