Any good Excel 2010 books?

[Firefly2012]

I have an extensive Excel library and there seemed to be a plethora of books published to coincide with MS releasing Office 2007. I have not seen the same range published for Excel 2010.

Do you know of any good Excel 2010 books that I may have overlooked? I am not interested in beginner-level books unless they target a very specific and new feature of Excel 2010 (eg Power Pivot).

Thanks

Actually can't answer that as I don't use any of the books. I have learned (the little I know) from browsing forum's like this one and others.

I also find it hard to follow a book because I want real examples I can work on and mean something towards an outcome I want to achieve.

I have Bill J's 2010 In Depth book, and like it. If you know Excel reasonably well and have a lot of books there is always a case of diminishing returns unless you buy a book that deals with one aspect in depth, but there are a number of little timesaving techniques in this one (things like moving the formula tooltip out of the way, or reordering pivot table columns) as well as a brief chapter on PowerPivot. There is also good coverage of Tables (and structured references) and Sparklines, as well as a lot of function examples.
Oh, and yes, I did pay for it!

Thanks Rory - exactly the kind of recommendation I was after.

I agree with Rory.
I like Bill's "In Depth" books.
For PowerPivot I prefer Practical PowerPivot & DAX Formulas (see the last paragraph in my post #9 at http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=447852)

Yes - I have that one too and it's good. Still hoping Rob Collie will write one...
