Summary: Did anyone test this?!?
Comment: I seriously wonder if they tested this with any actual Excel users. I gave it two stars only because there are some improvements over Excel 2003, but the new menu navigation is phenomenally flawed. I've been using it for several months and it still drives me nuts.
Just one infinitesimal example to whet your appetite:
I create a percentage by dividing one number by another. The result is 0.12961%. I don't want to see this many decimal places, so I open up the "Home" banner, click the "Decrease Decimal" icon and the number now reads 0.1296%. The banner has closed, so I must reopen the banner and again locate the "Decrease Decimal" icon and click it again. Now I have 0.129%. Repeat...Repeat...
Maddening I must say.
Customer Rating: Summary: Ease of Learning with Excel
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating: Summary: Ok once you learn to use it
Comment: 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...
Customer Rating: Summary: Experienced Users be Prepared to Start from Scratch
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: More Difficult to Use
Comment: 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.
