This short instructional manual is not meant to be exhaustive guide to Microsoft Excel. Rather, it acts as a compass, pointing readers toward key concepts, terms, and commands needed to use Excel effectively and navigate spreadsheets efficiently. It is geared towards users of Excel 2013/365, but is also appropriate for Excel 2010. It also is not intended for a technical audience, but for the beginner to intermediate user who is self-taught or struggling. Explanations and examples are kept simple and straight-forward, with ample illustrations and descriptions.
