As an Excel user do you want to master basic Excel functions and formulas? Excel Expert “Chandoo” created a pdf ebook showing how to use 75 useful Excel functions, and describes it all in plain English to make it simple to understand. I recently bought a copy of his ebook, called “Excel Formula 1” and put together a 5 minute video to help you find out if this an ebook for you…
I personally keep a printed copy of this book on my desk for reference, as it explains how to use each function in nice simple terms which is handy for beginners – when I want to help someone else understand a formula I just pull out this guide and check what it says.
Learn 75 common Excel functions the fun way with Excel Expert Chandoo’s Formula 1 Ebook, which you can buy here.
What if there was an easy way to learn the basics about common Excel functions? Imagine if you had a handy reference guide that you could open for help on common Excel functions, which was fun to read and easy to use. Maybe it’s time you had a look at the Formula 1 Ebook from Microsoft Excel expert Chandoo. Chandoo’s full name is Purna Duggirala and he lives in India where he runs a blog at Chandoo.org that talks about all things Excel.
Here are some testimonials from people who found the Formula 1 Ebook useful.
What’s good about the ebook is that it has a simple, easy to follow format: At the top of the page you see the Name of the function. Then you see an explanation of what the function does in easy-to-understand English. After that comes the function’s syntax which is what you type and the order you type it. Then there are simple examples of how to use the function. At the bottom of the page are hyperlinks to online Excel articles on the Chandoo.org blog which makes it easy to find lots more information for any given function.
Here are screenshots of a few more sample pages so you can read for yourself and see whether you like the way the formulas are presented.
The author suggests reading a few functions at a time and then going to practise using them in Excel. I would add that you could print out the table of contents on page 3 and then tick off each function that you learn, or circle the ones that you use the most and print out those functions and keep them handy near your computer, maybe stick them up on a wall or keep them on your desk.
Let’s go through all the features offered by Chandoo’s Formula 1 Ebook:
This is a book written specifically to help beginners in Excel learn about functions in Excel. I myself downloaded a copy of the book after reading and enjoying many Excel articles on Chandoo.org. If you are looking for intermediate or advanced stuff on functions this ebook is probably not for you. But you might find something else that is of interest to you on the Chandoo.org website.
