Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 21 reviews. Great Book!, 2009-03-25 Reviewer rating: The book is clear, concise, and to the point. I used it as my standard reference in my training and for all my training delegates. This book gives you fantastic and powerful tools that you need to develop a business model. It does not show you how business models work from a finance stand, rather lets you combine this and that of tools to develop the model, based on your requirements. I like it very much. Good job! | Very Good Book, 2007-10-29 Reviewer rating: I am an intermediate Excel user. I was looking for a book that could be used as a quick reference. This book is the best book I have ever read. I learned a great deal about hidden capabilities of Microsoft Excel. If you work with excel a lot, especially for analyzing data, this is the book for you. Every chapter introduces a new excel technique. Explanations are straight forward and easy to understand. Included CD has all the examples, both solved and unsolved.
I analyze a lot of data in my job everyday. Techniques I learned from this book help me everyday in getting my work done faster. | Great Book, 2007-07-20 Reviewer rating: Excellent...It really help me to better understand the data analysis with many differents case scenarios...exercises...its for everyone. | Real Good for a textbook., 2007-05-12 Reviewer rating: I had to use for a college class, but great speed in shipping. | Not bad, but not as good as expected, 2007-04-12 Reviewer rating: I am an intermediate to advanced Excel user, so my review may reflect that level. As others have said, it looks like MS rushed this book to the market, evidenced by so many errata, which can be disappointing especially when the solution is wrong. On the other hand, there are some very interesting and genuine uses of various Excel functions to solve business problems.
I wouldn't recommend this book for beginners. If you're trying to learn Excel, this is not the book. It is not a book to teach excel, but a book to teach you what you can do with Excel to solve everyday problems, given you're familiar with the mechanics of excel.
I would recommend it with these caveats. And getting Walkenbach's book on Excel functions along with this would be very helpful in my opinion. Best of luck in your endeavors. |
