EXCEL for Microsoft 365:
Reference and Cheat Sheet

A Review

Much like other sheets in the series, this item provides a brief overview of the most common features of Microsoft Excel. This it does we

On the other hand, it has the same weaknesses found in earlier “books” in the series. Because the four pages cover both the Windows and Mac versions of the software, users of each will find wasted space devoted to the unused OS. Also, because it focuses on the Windows and Mac versions of the software, it offers no explicit coverage of the mobile versions or the on-line versions of Excel. Finally, because it covers the most common features of the program, it offers little or no guidelines on some of the powerful features offered by Excel. For example, it offers four steps, six lines, on creating graphs; it offers no details on creating or using a pivot table.

These problems could be addressed by creating a web site addressing features that differ between different environments and the features needed by power users. As best this reviewer can tell, no such web site exists.

Given these strengths and weaknesses, I give the EXCEL for Microsoft 365: Reference and Cheat Sheet three stars.
