The material presented is very basic but it is also incredibly accessible with step-by- step screenshots and a friendly tone more like a friend or co-worker explaining how to use Excel than a technical manual.” Excel Basics In 30 Minutes (2nd Edition), is written by Ian Lamont, author of Twitter In 30 Minutes, Dropbox In 30 Minutes, and Google Drive In 30 Minutes.
