Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Dec 2005 | ISBN-10: 1590595912 | ISBN-13: 978-1590595916

Excels "what-if" data analysis tools let you experiment with your data to project future results. In turn, these predictions will lead to better decision making and unlock the mystery of many business analysis scenarios. For example, what-if data analysis tools will enable you to forecast how lowering the price per unitwhile increasing projected unit salesmight affect your profit margins.

Beginning Excel What-If Data Analysis Tools explores the use of Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver to help you get insight on your data. This book is focused and to the point, and it provides tutorial treatment of what-if tools in a practical, hands-on manner.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Information, But Needs Updating 19 July 2010
By David - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The information contained in this book is very good. Most Excel users have little, or no experience with Excel's What-If analysis tools. The Goal Seek and What-if scenerios are foreign to most beginning and casual Excel users.

This book does a good job of introducing those tools to the user and explains them well, using real-life examples to illustrate how the tools are to be used.

However, the book needs to be updated. The book is written based upon the 2003 verson of Excel. Microsoft made a major revision in the user interface in Excel 2007. If you are using Excel 2003 or older, the book is fine for you. But if you have upgraded to Excel 2007 or Excel 2010, the book will be confusing. Instead of using menus, the newer versions of Excel use the ribbon. Unless you already know where the Data Anallysis tools are located, the instructions in the book will not direct you to the Data Analysis tools. You will have to hunt and find them on your own.

The book presents good material, but needs to be updated to the 2007 or 2010 version of Excel in order to be relevant to the user today.
1.0 out of 5 stars What-If-Analysis by Paul Cornell 15 July 2012
By Robert K. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What-if-Analysis is a very poor selection when trying to learn this topic for the first time. It gives plenty of examples but they are so terribly explained that I found them impossible to learn from without another book to do the explaining the author didn't do.
A famous scientist said that: "things should be made simple; not simpler." This author falls fall from this mark. The website says they publish books written by professionals for professionals - if this book is an example then I guess these "guys" would be considered "computer nerds."

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Price 22 Feb 2008
By David L. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is totally not worth the money. There should be some sort of warning on the front cover.
