For my 40th book, I wanted a simple title of MrExcel 40. But, in the tradition of those great movies of my youth, I converted 40 using =ROMAN(40) to XL. It was probably somewhere around Book #33 that I realized that I would eventually get to book #40 where the Roman Numeral would be XL. And its a book about Excel. XL. Excel. Get it? I had the title for years, but once book #39 was finished, I had to fill the inside of the book with something. A successful Indiegogo campaign funded this book to be in full color, with glossy pages. We filled up the back half of the book with 30 more tips, 40 keyboard shortcuts, and more. The book includes:
- Bill's 40 favorite Excel tips (with plenty of bonus tips)
- Szilvia Juhasz and Bill add 30 more Excel tips for Excel's 30th birthday
- The 40 best Excel Keyboard Shortcuts
- 40 Excel Jokes from Jordan Goldmeier
