My favorite Excel books
Since I use a variety of Excel features, I have not one but 5 favorite books.
Excel 2010 Bible by John Walkenbach
This is an all round book that offers excellent details, examples and feature explanations. You can get the same book for 2007 or 2013 too.
Excel Power Programming book by John Walkenbach
This is my go to book for all things VBA. I have it on my desk most of the time and just flip thru it to grasp a new concept or solidify something I already know.
DAX Formulas for Power Pivot by Rob Collie
This is my go to book for Power Pivot. I must have read it a dozen times already and just love Rob’s prose & explanation style.
Information Dashboard Design by Stephen Few
More on design level. I rely on this book to come up with amazing dashboard designs you see here.
And of course, I got to love my own The VLOOKUP book. It is a comprehensive book on Excel lookup formulas.

If you are looking to get an Excel book (always a good idea), apart from those mentioned above, I also recommend these books.
Note about book links: All the book links mentioned in this post are affiliate links. That means if you purchase the book after clicking link on my page, I will get a few cents commission from Amazon. I recommend these books because I read them several times, I really love them, and I would have recommended them even if there is no affiliate commission.

I am not getting sound from the videos. I have checked all the settings and spent several hours searching the Internet to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there anyway to get the Grand Total to be broken out in the same fashion as the items above it? For instance, if you have in column 1, widget a, widget b, and have their sales by month in column 2, I'd like to see the grand total also be by month, for widget a & b combined.
I can't get anything other than a single line for the grand total, rather than the same format as the data above.
Widget A Month Sales
Jan 100
Feb 200
Widget B
Jan 150
Feb 250
Grand total - here I would also like to have Jan, Feb.
Jan 250
Feb 450
