Book excerpt: This book is made up of seven parts, each dealing with a specific topic: managing workbooks and worksheets, working with rows, columns and cells in a table, managing data (entering values, copying, moving, filtering and searching for data), making various calculations with formulas and functions, formatting data and using styles, printing and page setup, and creating drawing objects, diagrams and charts. Each chapter is independent of the others, so that you can choose what to study, and in what order. At the end of the book, you will find the official list of topics tested in the MOS Excel 2003 Core exam, with the references of each corresponding lesson and exercise from the book.
