The Power Of: Calc Result is a 1983 book by Robert E. Williams, published by Management Information Source of Portland, Oregon, and distributed by Prentice-Hall as a Spectrum Book.

It is a book of ten worked exercises for the Calc Result spreadsheet program, which was written by Handic Software of Sweden. The exercises are business and household applications: an accounts receivable ageing report, cost recovery, a stock portfolio, financing a home purchase, an amortisation schedule, a loan rebate calculation, a checkbook ledger, daily inventory, sales reporting and payroll.
