Dissatisfaction rating - 2006-05-30
Reviewer Rating:
I'm generally disappointed at what the book seems to promise and what it delivers. My take on the book is that it is not thorough enough, and topped with a number of typos and reference errors. I find that several examples and references are hard to follow. Perhaps expanding on the explanation on the examples would help. I would also recommend adding a CD for examples. I wouldn't mind paying more to be able to follow the concepts and fully understand them. Afterall, this is business analysis with "Microsoft Excel." There's just no "Excel", just text. Trying to go through this book is more like reading a cliff note version of a "real" book (again, hard to follow leading to discouragement and disappointment. If you're patient, you can find some values, no doubt, just be prepared to spend some time more than you would expect, and to reference a couple more books for validation/clarification of concepts discussed in this book.

Overall, I was not impressed with this book. I was hoping to get a book with examples of functions for use in financial analysis. Instead, the book focused more on financial analysis fundamentals.

great business book - 2008-12-01
Reviewer Rating:
i am a small business guy and am looking to better manage my business projects including calculation of project costs and prediction of revenues, sales forcasting, scenario analysis etc... i know that i can probably buy a ton of software to do this for me or hire consultants. However, i believe that any help that you get from external sources is basically a crutch when i am disabled by myself, so i like to learn the thing myself first and then maybe hire outsiders... and this book is GREAT for me... i wont talk about specific sections because honestly, i got it delivered only yesterday... but it appears to cover all the topics i wanted in a very clean business way... this is a business book with MS Excel as the tool that it uses to do what it does... so, it tells you how to calculate IRR and then does it in excel. how to calculate times-interest earned ration and shows tips, tricks and means in excel...
