DOUG COBB'S TIPS FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL

   Published in December 1985, Doug Cobb's bestselling EXCEL IN BUSINESS
earned widespread critical praise:
   "This is the benchmark of the current batch of books on Excel...(It) will
give you the best overall picture of Excel and definitely is the most
comprehensive reference work."  --  David Clark, MACazine
   "The definitive guide to Excel on the Macintosh.  An outstanding
reference, for its readability and detail."  --  Computer Book Review

   Since the publication of EXCEL IN BUSINESS in 1985, Doug Cobb and the Cobb
Group have continued to explore this powerful product.  They have compiled
many of their discoveries in a new book from Microsoft Press.  Packed with
handy hints and scores of comments and cautions, DOUG COBB'S TIPS FOR
MICROSOFT EXCEL will help readers extract maximum performance from Microsoft
Excel.  This title is scheduled for publication on December 22, 1986, and
will be supported by a major advertising campaign.
   Designed for quick reference, DOUG COBB'S TIPS FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL is
organized by subject and covers all Excel working environments.  Each self-
contained tip includes ready-to-implement examples and concise explanations.
Worksheet tips include techniques for entering data, editing, and working
with dates and time; hints for using the worksheet functions more effectively
and for debugging complex formulas.  The book includes in-depth information
on making the most of the worksheet's financial functions, and on using named
ranges, constants, and formulas, and on working with arrays.
   Readers will learn the best methods for sorting and extracting database
records, computing statistics, and creating complex database criteria.  The
book also offers pointers on customizing charts, developing impressive chart
templates, and using the SERIES function.
   A special macros section includes valuable information on command and
function macros.  The book shows how to master the Microsoft Excel macro
language, design custom functions, and understand loops, counters, and
branching techniques.  In all, DOUG COBB'S TIPS FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL is a
logical and handy complement to EXCEL IN BUSINESS.
