Letter from the Author, Richard Kraneis Your Excel Coach
3427 North Tripp, Chicago, IL, USA 60641 My name is Richard Kraneis and I’ve decided to bring my Excel computer training to you, anywhere in the world.  OK, I’m a “words” person.
How will The World’s Shortest Excel Book help me? Whether you are a manager or a staff person, The World’s Shortest Excel Book is going to make you feel a whole lot better about using Excel. And my ebook will solve some very real problems for you at work or home. “Excel Budget Meetings make me nervous.” Have you ever felt uneasy at a budget meeting because you don’t know how the presenter calculated all the numbers? Many people are afraid to ask questions in a budget meeting. Chapter 1 of my ebook teaches you how to analyze formulas in a spreadsheet that you’ve never seen before. It’s like taking an x-ray of an Excel spreadsheet. My Excel Formula looks “good” but the result is “wrong” Did you know that formulas that “seem” to work can still produce incorrect numbers? At a very minimum, experts believe 20-40% of all spreadsheets have errors. Chapter 3 shows you how a “good” formula can be horribly inaccurate. Need Help with Microsoft Excel and Date Math? This is date math folks. “How old is the patient?” “How overdue are these receivables?” When Excel users have learned how to do date math, all of their spreadsheets seem more valuable. It’s chapter 6 in my ebook. Microsoft Excel is like purchasing a new mobile phone with a bunch of new apps A friend tells you about a mobile phone ap and you just have to have it. My ebook will teach you some really wonderful stuff about pivot tables, =IF statements, 3D formulas, mind maps and more. It’s not that tough to learn, you’ll save hours of time. And, most likely, you’ll feel good about Excel and your new skills. The World’s Shortest Excel Book – Table of Contents Let me be perfectly clear with you.

TESTIMONIALS
One reader said, “Thanks for the inspiration.”
The review you see below was from Glenda of Kansas, U.S.A. Glenda was one of the first customers to purchase my ebook. Glenda made my day.
| Glenda H.,
Kansas, USA. | Reading your 28 pages was well worth the small investment! I’ve had no “formal” training in Excel, but use it daily–for many things, and find it difficult to function without it. But, I tend to not use it to its capability, only because I don’t know what it is. You’ve given just enough information in 28 pages to stir the creative juices and begin to explore and experiment. Thanks for the inspiration! It’s pretty embarrassing to find that there were shortcuts and smarter ways of doing things that I’ve been doing for years… |
Kind Words from REVIEWERS of
The World’s Shortest Excel Book
| Jeff C.,
New Hampshire, USA. | I also want to thank you for an excellent publication. I would say that I knew about half of the content, but that the half I didn’t, was invaluable. | | Jacques W., Montreal |
Hi Richard,
I just 3 seconds ago sent an email to Debbie Weil and asked her to tell you that I had bought your book right after reading her good comments. I, in Montreal, read Debbie’s column who brings me to your page, so that I can buy this little booklet that will certainly help me improve my Excel skills (which is about time at 41…).Good luck with your online sales ! Merci.

| First Email: Thanks for saving my butt last week with your book. I was totally lost in pivot tables with over 10,000 source records. I paid the 17 smackers just to learn how to sort of work with them. I can’t say it was comprehensive, but you DO have a gift for stating the obvious. THEY MOVE. Perfection. Second Email: I’m a quick study, but am so busy just trying to get THROUGH things that I don’t have time to sit down with a manual and digest it all. You do have a talent for getting the important information across in a concise and easy to follow manner. You may certainly use my comments, and hey, keep those cards and letters coming. I’ll look for more goodies as they’re available. | | Sharon E.,
Kentucky, USA | So much is packed into these 28 pages, I know that I will use your book as a standard from which I judge other Excel books. It is written in clear, easy to understand language and the examples are reliable and utilize the very features you profile. I would recommend this book to anyone who uses Excel – what a great addition to your computer library. | | Michaela T., Germany,

To be honest: there are so many excel-books. The only reason why I bought yours was the fact … that it is so short. I learnt Pivot in 10 minutes! Great!
| | Lisa Smith
Memphis, TN | Dear Mr. Kraneis;Thank you so much for your practical, down to earth book. In just one weekend I can now do practically anything the advanced skills test would require—and it all makes sense! I have bought other “quick study” books and never could get through them. Your clear, precise explanations and instructions on the most practical of tasks has opened up a world of possibilities in Excel that I assumed could only be obtained in one of those expensive Excel training courses. | | Steve Dolyk
Missouri, USA | Richard – Just a note to say thanks for taking the time to publish your World’s Shortest Excel Book. As a long time Excel user (& lotus before that), I can honestly say it was a good refresher for me ..and I picked up a few new ideas. You know how spreadsheet lovers like to discover & use new ideas. | | Albert Naylor

Hi Rich
I have found the book interesting, very informative, well written, and just great to learn formulas, and very enjoyable to use.
| | J. Neal

It is precise, condensed, bolded words, easy to quickly thumb through, and a benefit to anyone struggling as hard as I was.
| | Narriman Lalla

Thanks for the book, I’m still busy reading it but have already found some great tips.
I am from South Africa , work with Excel on a daily basis and need to complete a project with which I hope your e-book will help.
