About this title

Synopsis

The focus of this book is on providing clear word descriptions and step-by-step Excel instructions, rather than including lots of x's and y's everywhere. This book was written for managers and students who may need a quick refresher on how to complete Excel analysis without having to read pages of technical explanations. The authors aimed at concisely defining the key concepts and providing simple descriptions and explanations on how to use them.
