I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have learnt so far. Good and easy to understand. However, very difficult to follow which of the downloadable exercise files is being used. Need to state the file name in the book. I am wasting time trying to find the correct file in order to follow the instructions.

This book helped tremendously during my early stages using PT, without a doubt I would recommend this book to someone who just started to incorporate Pivot Table into their work. One recommendation, It would be nice if a CD with all the work examples came with the book, unfortunately you have to download the example files from a website.

I have no previous experience of either Pivot Table or Office 2007. However, by following the instructions of this book and keep practicing, I don't feel pivot table is so difficult as I did before. Highly recommend this book.
