Excel Data Analysis: Your visual blueprint for analyzing data, charts, and PivotTables 4th Edition

In the fourth edition of this book, author, Paul McFedries, has provided an excellent tool for readers to better understand and apply the advanced features of Excel including those found in the Microsoft Analysis ToolPak and Pivot Charts.I am about half-way through the book at this time and must compliment the author on the presentation of working lessons in conjunction with downloadable databases to best understand the advanced analysis methods.This is not a book for newbies to Excel.

Just started it but it begins with the basics and clearly states what is going on as it shows the pictures...good book to sit with besides the computer on a Sunday morning...get some learnin'...

Condition was grea

Definitely a good purchase from amazon! This book was effective but the best part was that it cost half the price on amazon!

Does not explain anything

This is a useful tool for people generally familiar with Excel. It has some useful tips and covers some detail missing from simpler works. Unfortunately, he does not appear to understand his audience very well, and periodically uses unfamiliar terms and concepts. He may get back to explaining them eventually, but in the meantime you may be lost. This work is very business oriented, and is focused on accounting uses.
