Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I am a big fan of the Dummies books. I bought a ton of them and managed to learn a lot of good stuff this way. The author, Stephen Nelson, covers this occasionally not so simple subject in a very user friendly way right in line with the Dummies series tradition.Keep in mind what this book’ s purpose is about. It is essentially an Excel manual specializing on a specific set of functions to conduct certain types of data analysis. It is not a book about statistical analysis or data analysis. The author teaches you how to use those functions and Excel capabilities, but he won’t teach you much about data analysis and statistics. For that you will need specific statistics books written by statistics professors. This book instead is a “how to” guide written by a CPA. And, given the book’s purpose that’s just fine.Also, before buying any such book make sure you really study the table of content. This is to ensure the book covers what you need to learn. Different books covering the same overall subject (using Excel to conduct data analysis) could very well cover a fairly different set of topics with not much overlap between them. This is because Excel has so much width to its capabilities, you can easily take it in different directions.When I looked at the table of content, I noted that Stephen Nelson is huge on Pivot Tables. He probably wrote the only book on data analysis dedicating a full four chapters to Pivot Tables. That was fine with me since I really wanted to learn about them.In any case, if the book’s table of content covers what you want to learn on the subject this is a very good book.

⭐I love Excel. This is one of the few software that actually holds the test of time and keeps seeming to get better. But, getting better also means getting more complicated. This is what makes the “For Dummies” series so valuable. I can say that it would be nice if they added in interactive modules for download or created special forums for those of us who purchase this product to bounce ideas and questions around.

⭐I really like this book. It is written in very plain and easy to follow format. Anyone with any Excel knowledge at all will find it remedial at first however once you get to the part that interests you, it’s great. It is easy to follow and informative. The author also uses humor to lighten it up, tech manuals can be very dry. This one is not.I recomend the book for anyone just starting to do analysis with Excel. You will get your money’s worth and will be able to finish the book without dying from bordom.

⭐Very basic excel book – too basic.

⭐Excellent book, easy read. Simple and to the point. Benefited from reading the book immediately. Answered questions I had, and explained the solution.

⭐I loved ordered self help books and learning new things. I am using this book often and sharing with others also.

⭐the info is outdated for 2007….some info that pertains, but not what I needed to fully understand how to do pivot tables step by step

⭐Good book if you’re not so great with building charts etc. in excel, funny too! Plus you get to find out where some of the stuff you’re used to in excel ’03 went to.

⭐Provided you know your way around the basic Excel functions this guide is great. If you don’t know how to switch a PC on or even open programmes it will go over your head. The step-by-step explanations are easy to follow and I’ve learned a lot from it. As with all the ‘…for Dummies’ series it’s clear and easy to follow.

⭐As a very experienced Excel user I wanted to expand my knowledge of pivots and data analysis capabilities inExcel. I found this book surprisingly useful.it is well structured and generally the examples are easy to follow. A worthwhile addition to my technical library.

⭐Very helpful just what was required

⭐Very helpful, so far. Written in understandable language.

⭐As an Excel novice, this teaches me in “baby steps”. Fabulous.
