Is there a good comprehensive, understable book for Excel 97?

[Marc]

Is there a good comprehensive, understandable book for Excel 97? Or web
site? Examples of function and controls and how they work and how you make
them work would be very helpful. Excel is so daunting and I second guess
myself every time I write a formula other than the most basic - is there a
simpler easier way to get this done!!! I know where I need to go but so
often have no clue how to get there! I need to eventually add controls so
I can make it a series of questions and you have the quote completed. Now
I'm just using fill in the blanks and functions!

Thanks

Marc
