An excellent book to start with..,

This review is from: SAP BW: A Step-by-step Guide (Addison-Wesley Information Technology Series) (Paperback)
This is pretty much an excellent book to start with, Though the book does'nt concentrate much on Several types of Data extractions, its worth investing..Even my Project managers use it handy as a quick reference guide. My suggestions for enhancements of this book are a little Theory and Extraction.

Best practical guide to SAP BW,
By A Customer
This review is from: SAP BW: A Step-by-step Guide (Addison-Wesley Information Technology Series) (Paperback)
This is one of the best IT books we've seen in a long time, giving the reader a step-by-step walkthrough of BW functionality. It's a little bit weak on the theory, but if you want to learn how to USE BW quickly then this is a must buy. Eventually half the team ended up purchasing a copy.

Step by Step if you know your stuff.,
This review is from: SAP BW: A Step-by-step Guide (Addison-Wesley Information Technology Series) (Paperback)
This book is pretty average-it is end to end with screen shots and provides little theory behind any of the practical.As far as the CD - all that contains is about four EXCEL spreadsheets and again absolutely no information about the four tables (they could have quite easily just printed them in the book instead). In my opinon - stay well clear of this book unless you have a reasonable understanding of BW both theory and practice.
