O'Reilly Published Analyzing Business Data with Excel

Gerald Knight, author of Analyzing Business Data with Excel (O'Reilly, US $39.99) believes that we under-use one of the most commonly availabletools.

"For years I have worked with bright, well educated professionals," says Knight. "They use Excel every day and in most cases it is the tool they use most. Yet they don't know about many of Excel's more advanced feature and don't realize how much more they could do with Excel. Many of these Excel users want to learn more."

Analyzing Business Data with Excel shows you how to solve real-world business problems by taking Excel's data analysis features to their maximum potential. Rather than focusing on individual Excel functions and features, this book keys directly on the needs of business users. It covers techniques for making the most of Excel and a variety of ways to apply Excel's statistical and programming capabilities to specific kinds of business problems. [Bill Fox]
