- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016Great book for Excel Dashboards. It gives you good information in an easy to read format.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2018No color - no worries. I don't care. Many of the other concerns you see, I am not worried about. My biggest thing is about the content.
This book offers extensive advise - some of which contrary to mainstream best practices - of how to use Excel. This is a good bridge between Walkenbach and Stephen/Bullen/Bovey.
I will disclaim some of the other reviews I noticed. First, the color complaint is a non-issue. Every graphics card, operating system, and whatever other variables will render the colors their certain way. There is no point of printing the colors - that's just a waste of money. If you are arguing for the color delivery of the particular print copy of this book, you obviously missed the point.
That said, I will say that I downloaded the examples listed in this book, and there are errors all over the place where the code breaks, does not calculate correctly, or all over the place in its entirety. There have been numerous examples, which I downloaded from the suggested page, where the code simply breaks or does not work without significant modification. Really, my 3-star rating has to do with the low level of effort that was put into creating these examples, and testing them in a sufficient fashion..
The author makes a big stink about current "best practices" on how to create code. But when it comes to actually creating code, best I can say is the author should have used some of those best practices. Big fail on publishing error-prone code, while advocating fewer checks of errors.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017Gave me the inside tips I was looking for.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2015I'm actually between 3 and 4 stars on this. I bought the book because of Purnachandra's (Chandoo's) involvement with it. I'm not sure what his level of contribution was, but as for the book itself, there's some good info on dashboard overall concepts. There are also some interesting takes on Excel functions which I wasn't aware of. I disagree with a couple of the author's approaches, but he does tell you upfront that you may or may not agree with him on those points.
The cons: 1, A dashboard book with no color?? This was a disappointment, considering that color is an integral part of many dashboards in how they convey information. 2, The typos and grammar mistakes. Not a big deal to many people, but it just catches my eye whenever I run across them and it detracts from the material. It makes it feel like they were so rushed to get the book out that they couldn't bother with proof-reading.
Overall, a decent addition to my Excel library, will be used for occasional reference.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018Printing & Paper quality of the book for the hefty price is very poor. Reading Graphs and charts is extremely difficult. The material could be good if I was able to read and follow it. What good is a book which material cant be read & understood.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2015Wow, this is the book I've waited
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2016Excellent !!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2015Hard copy (paperback) is not in color! Bad decision Jordan and Chandoo. You guys have WAY too much talent to make this kind of blunder. You repeatedly reference the impact of color throughout your text, yet it falls on gray-scale images, leaving the reader wondering what the message really is. Fortunately I was able to grab an inexpensive pdf which is colorized.

2.0 out of 5 stars How to write your second book?
Just take the complete content of your first one (Advanced Excel Essentials), add a few chapters and rename the whole thing! I don't know how an otherwise decent publisher like Apress let this pass.
So one third of this book has been published before, letter by letter. The quality of the new stuff doesn't reach the one of the old, mainly it's to fill a lot of pages.
