"I spend hours every day buried in Excel and feel overwhelmed by my work..."

Excel is a huge part of your job. You spend tons of time at work struggling with formulas and functions — and, even though you can usually solve your problems eventually, you can’t help but wondering whether you’re doing things the right way.

Do you ever:

  • Feel a lack of confidence when presented with data analysis and spreadsheet challenges?
  • Wonder whether you could be saving time at work if you knew the right Excel formulas and functions?
  • Feel guilty about bugging your team with Excel questions?
  • Wonder whether your co-workers see you as a competent, high-performing analyst?
  • Feel uninspired when you go to work each morning?

Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Around the world, thousands of employees just like you struggle with these problems each and every day. It’s totally normal.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

How much more enjoyable would your job be if you knew how to make Excel work with you, not against you?

Imagine:

  • You would feel confident and prepared on the job.
  • You would free up hours every day to spend on more important things — like critical work tasks, meetings, or even more ‘you time’.
  • You wouldn’t have to nag your team with requests for spreadsheet help.
  • Your co-workers would respect you as a high-performing analyst.
  • You would feel excited to go to work every day.

And, best of all — what if your new skills qualified you for more senior, higher-paying positions in your industry? That would have a huge impact on your career — and your lifetime earnings.

So, where to start?

You’re a independent, productive person, and you like solving problems on the fly — so you’ve tried to learn Excel on your own. You’ve read forums and articles trying to figure out which formulas and functions will help you out the most, but there’s so much information out there that it’s hard to figure out where to begin.

And even if you know what to look for, most tutorials available are confusing and hard-to-follow. After hours of searching and trial-and-error, you still aren’t getting the answers you need.

There's an easier way:

Customer reviews

Learning something new  

Been using Excel for decades and thought I was fairly knowledgeable about it but this course has proven me wrong. Even in the Basics section I learned a couple of shortcuts that will be time-savers. And don't get me started about INDEX MATCH. Thank you for writing this in just the right tone and clarity.

Detailed..  

The handbook is detailed enough for the topics covered and provides practical invited as well as alternatives... I also love the chronological order of the topics..Makes for easy understanding. I recommend it to be bought for novices, beginners. Intermediate to advanced users... U never know what you might learn..

It's all you need up to intermediate level  

Very well structured and complete without being in any way laborious. Shows great pedagogy as well. Multiple support platforms. Next for me will be the modelling course. Thanks very much Sam.

Excellent resource  

This has helped me immensely and has given me the confidence to optimize all my metrics at work!

Good Work  

Content is good but can be Improve further as the excel is very vast and Endless.

Wow, that was a quick fix!  

In a review of Sam's Ultimate Excel Book I wrote a few days ago, I dinged two stars off of what I otherwise would have awarded 5-stars because the pdf version did not have an interactive TOC. However, just a few moments ago I got an email from Sam saying that he fixed the TOC so that clicking on any page number will scoot you right to the subject matter you wanted to get at! Woo Hoo! Thanks, Sam, for such a quick update and for writing such a helpful ebook! 5 stars now in my book!

Great Book  

I took a course in Advanced Excel but it was foo fast-paced for me. I followed the exercises in the book and I was able to fully understand and apply the new learning in my work.

Great product, quite comprehensive  

Any book can only cover Excel in part, but this book has identified much of what is important and explains it well.

never thought I'd pay for excel tutorials  

Exactly what I needed to know, and broadened my horizons beyond what I thought I needed to know.

Excellent product, Am enjoying using it.  

Very easy to use and concepts well explained. Good work deskbright.

So much useful  

I love this product & its clean and clear to understand. Please add some practicals as well

Excellent book!  

This is an excellent book that I highly recommend for both beginners and advanced Excel users. There is so much information included that will help everyone take their Excel skills to the next level. Well worth the price!

Fantastic  

Very practical approach which are useful for day to day's working

Great Product- Love it.  

I am very happy with purchase of The Ultimate Excel Book. It covers certain areas not covered by some of the other products. Love the Pivot table section and use of functions. It is great.

Best Excel book in the market!  

I work in Corporate Finance and very often I come across some complicated spreadsheets. This book has been fantastic for providing me great tips which are explained in detail.

Awesome product!  

Wonderful online learning experience! Very well-organized and efficient delivery of instruction. It's everything I was hoping for in an online Excel training platform. Thank you!

Very Clear, And A Great Reference  

I bought this book after visiting the INDEX MATCH page about 7 times a day trying to solve a data-entry problem. The tutorials are clearly laid out and easy to follow, and I like that I can both work through them now and use them as a reference later on. Thanks!

Excellent  

I have found this book very useful for reference, rather than looking in lots of different places for an answer, I have them in one place, for myself it is a reminder for the formulas I do not use that often. For my wife who is a novice it has been an excellent read with easy to understand examples, she has even got the hang of using INDEX MATCH.

Immediately practical - worth the money in less than 20 minutes  

Thanks Deskbright! I just had a look at the online version of the Ultimate Excel Book this afternoon and it's laid out so clearly, I found exactly what I needed. In about 20 minutes I *finally* bloody understood the practical value of INDEX MATCH over V LOOKUP. Plus I worked out a way to use INDEX MATCH MATCH with a search/wild-card combo to combine some reporting for the business. That's going to save us a load of time and about $600 this year on a data integration service. Thanks again for the clear and practical explanations! Cheers, Jake Digital Marketing Manager

Amazing resource!  

This Excel overview is amazing - detailed, clear, and very easy to follow. As an Excel beginner, it got me up to speed and very comfortable using Excel in a professional setting. Thanks!!

Handy help  

This book is far the most handy help i have ever had on excell. I just cant emphasize much

Super comprehensive book, Super customer service!  

This is a thorough overview of Excel's basic, and some uber-useful not-so-basics (e.g. INDEX/MATCH vs VLOOKUP). Well laid out and illustrated with ample screen-shots, the explanations are all clear and approachable. Perhaps a "hot" table of contents to ease moving around the e-book for the next edition, but all in all, a good solid reference backed by a committed, responsive author.
