Excel Sites and Resources

oundup sounds much better than link dump doesn’t it? Anyway I’ll drop some links occasionally from my bookmark folder to permanent storage here. Maybe you’ll find them useful as well.

I’m guessing: “The Missing Manual” is their equivalent of the Excel Bible (the Table Of Contents look similar), “Excel Annoyances” is the equivalent of a “Dummies” book, and “Excel Hacks” is a cliff notes […]
