How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIndispensable if you need Excel for work
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2021
I find this all-in-one book indispensable. There is just too much to do and remember in Excel not to have a reference guide. I don't use this book as a training course (some have commented that the book is too long), but as a reference when I need to lookup an issue or learn how to do a specific function I am unfamiliar with. Yes, most things these days can just be googled, but it is nice (and stress relieving) to have a reliable reference guide to go to when needed. Plus, it is organized and indexed. You take your chances when just doing an internet search for an answer. Anyway, it's not expensive and I find this book very useful as a starter and guide for all things Excel. If, after reading a section I want more in-depth instruction, then I know what to google to find it. Physical books still have a place in our lives. Recommended.

1.0 out of 5 starsworthless guide to a mangled piece of software
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019
The early visions of MS Excel were capable doing everything from balancing your checkbook to sophisticated data analyses, including multiple regressions and easy-to-create matrix algebra formulations. I used them widely in my peer- reviewed publications on sea level rise and coastal processes. The latest version has those things, but also is cluttered with endless templates and options, and is not at all intuitive. Commands and procedures have changed, and this book (all 800 pages of it) is no real help in using the program. Example: Want to change the color of data points or lines in a chart? Try to find how to do that in this book. The index is no help.

Excel 2019 is clearly designed for the business user who has to prepare PPT presentations, and wants to use canned templates for displays of data and forecasts, etc., in the minimum time possible. But consider this: If a "for Dummies" book is 800 pages, then don't think that this program will be easy to master, or that this book will be any great help.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks to me like hasty and sloppy editing job
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2019
Verified Purchase
I'm only ten minutes into the first chapter of the book and I'm already tempted to return it. The text on page 15, which refers to Figure 1-1 (the very first figure in the book!), bears almost no relationship to what's actually shown in the figure. This is clearly the result of a hasty and sloppy editing job, and it does not bode well for the rest of the book.

Excel has changed its screen presentation so much since my previous version. Lots of the plotting, formatting, etc. that used to be available on the top bar-- is now hidden with right clicks, guesses and ??? I don't know why stuff I used to do before is now hidden??--- I guess they think it is cute to hide everything--- But this book lets you find it. Good book.

I ordered this and in the first pages it warns, Not For Excel 365. Save yourself the trouble of returning it for the right one.

The ultimate Excel bible. Well worded, easy to understand and all inclusive. If anything it might be too in depth. Be prepared to review the indices and tables of contents so that you can jump around to that which you care about the most at the moment.
