I haven't got Ancient notes on Xerxes or Greek World 5th-4th Century BC notes. I'll be looking at Hatshepsut and then the Development of Greek World 800-500 BC.
I second the need for Xerxes notes, we're about to start studying him and I don't think they make excel textbooks for ancient personalities. Also what Pompeii+Sparta notes do you have?
In terms of the excel books containing personalities; indeed they do. Bear in mind there are two excel books, the first containing the core topic and the societies. Whereas book 2 looks at the personalities and Historical Periods. It does cover Xerxes, but remember not to rely on the Excel books for everything; 'cause honestly they're not that great and are very very very limited to the information and source evidence they contain.
A very similar study guide to the excel guides, is Macquarie. Which I found slightly more better equipped in terms of presenting both the sources and the information. And just checking the index, it does cover Xerxes and Greek World 5th to 4th Century BC.
I also if I were to recommend two brilliant sources for you guys. In terms of Sparta and Pompeii / Herculaneum, Brian Brennan constructed two brilliant sources. 'Spartan Society to the Battle of Leuctra: Interpreting the Evidence' and 'Pompeii and Herculaneum: Interpreting the Evidence' (co-authored by Estelle Lazer [a name you should be familiar with from studying Pompeii]). These are brilliant sources, and I would fully recommend them over any study guide.
Good luck with the researching, however. If anyone requires help in Pompeii and / or Sparta, just give me a shout.
