About the Author
Greg Harvey has authored tons of computer books, the most recent and most popular being Excel 2016 For Dummies and Excel 2019 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. He started out training business users on how to use IBM personal computers and their attendant computer software in the rough and tumble days of DOS, WordStar, and Lotus 1-2-3 in the mid-’80s of the last century. After working for a number of independent training firms, Greg went on to teach semester-long courses in spreadsheet and database management software at Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
His love of teaching has translated into an equal love of writing. For Dummies books are, of course, his all-time favorites to write because they enable him to write to his favorite audience: the beginner. They also enable him to use humor (a key element to success in the training room) and, most delightful of all, to express an opinion or two about the subject matter at hand.
Greg received his doctorate degree in Humanities in Philosophy and Religion with a concentration in Asian Studies and Comparative Religion in May 2004. Everyone is glad that Greg was finally able to get out of school before he retired.

At Wiley, I want to thank Katie Mohr for her encouragement and help in getting this project underway and her ongoing support every step of the way. She made sure that the project stayed on course and made it into production so that all the talented folks, especially Guy Hart-Davis as technical editor and Kelly Ewing as project editor, on the production team could create this great final product.
At Mind over Media, I want to thank Christopher Aiken for his review of the updated manuscript and invaluable input and suggestions on how best to restructure the book to accommodate all the wonderful new features in Excel 2019 and, more importantly, lay out the exciting new “anytime, anywhere” story to Excel users.
