Excel Textbook

(OP)
What are some textbooks to recommend for advanced excel users wanting to exploit the limits of the program? I found one text for structural engineers (which is ideal for me), but they referenced excel 2003. I have heard 2010 has some cool functions and I want to read a text to see if it is worth purchasing.

"Structural engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand into shapes we cannot..."...ah...screw it, we don't know what the heck we are doing.

RE: Excel Textbook

I found the 2003 Excel Bible to be very handy.  Wrote some crazy data base stuff with that back in the day.

RE: Excel Textbook

Check with your local library; I live in a town that isn't large, but they have a deal with O'Reilley books online (safari books online) where anyone with a library card can login to the library site from home and read the full text of dozens of O'Reilley's current technical books.

Also, Amazon lets you read the first couple chapters of many books they sell. That has saved me from buying a couple of books that were getting good reviews, but were not quite what I was looking for.
