What you get for your money [Posted on 2007-10-31] Excel is a perfect example of software attempting to be all things to all people. It does what I need it to do and a whole lot more besides. Because of that, I realize I am paying for "a whole lot more" even though I don't particularly want it. What I would like to see is software that will do basic stuff. It happens that I was more or less forced to use Excel because of files previously created with an earlier version of Excel.
More Difficult to Use [Posted on 2008-02-25] The user interface is completely different from previous versions making the transition more difficult. On top of that, the new interface sucks and is cluttered. There is no simple way to bring in your custom menus from older versions. Stick with an older version! This one is no good.
Experienced Users be Prepared to Start from Scratch [Posted on 2008-03-08] Excel 2007 replaces the tried and true menu layout with new graphical ribbon that is totally alien to experienced users.
Save your money, do not buy Excel 2007 if you expect to find a product that remotely resembles any of the previous Excel versions.
Ok once you learn to use it [Posted on 2008-03-24] I agree with the other reviewers. Once you are used to the "old" versions of excel, have fun learning to use this one. You can still use the old keyboard short-cuts (such as Alt+I, R to insert a row). There are some new features that are nice, but who is going to use them or how often?? There is no 'File' menu now...It is the windows icon in the top left hand corner. It took me ten minutes just to figure out how to print or save a file....now it is second nature, but I have been using it for several months. Not for the not-so-computer-inclined person. Not very user friendly. AND, you have to remember to save files as 'xls' instead of 'xlsx' type so other people can open them...
Ease of Learning with Excel [Posted on 2008-03-24] I thought that it would be hard to learn to use Excel, but it was very easy! The program has already provided a needed graph. So glad I made this purchase!
