"Bob Umlas is a Microsoft® Valued Professional (MVP) who put his nearly 20 years of Excel experience into a book called: This isn’t Excel, it’s Magic! Bob shares many excellent tips for the experienced Excel user that will save time and energy when working with spreadsheets. A beginner may be a little daunted by some of the tricks, but will appreciate them once they get to know Excel. The book is well illustrated and narrated. I like to see computer books written a little more step-by-step than this one, but for Bob’s target market, it works well"

What a handy little book chuck full of hints, tips and techniques by Bob Umlas. I have been studying Excel for longer than I care to admit and I have taught it at all levels to hundreds of professional students. Yet I consider my knowledge of the subject miniscule compared to the author’s breadth of skill
