Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel: Updated for Office 97

I got the book several years ago with a 3 1/2 floppy disk. Its a goo d book on how to use formulas and handle data with excel, very practical and concise. Should be updated.

Doing statistical analysis with Excel can be cumbersome if you don't have a good reference handy. This book has it all: Getting started with Excel, working with data / charts, describing your data, probability distributions, statistical inference, regression and correlation, multiple regression, analysis of variance, time series, and quality control. Many concept tutorials which can be done with the disk illustrate the principles explained in the book.

This textbook is very good for those students and the like to get a better understanding of rules and techniques of data analysis using excel in the easiest way possible. Although the book offers just the basics, it does teach you how to go from there to the advanced analysis.

This book allows the reader to access the data analysis power of Microsoft Excel 97. It covers all of the functions located in the Data Analysis add-in for Excel (Tools Menu). Examples are explicit, step-by-step, and business related. Little previous knowledge of Excel required- there are 2 chapters dealing with the basics of using the program. This is not a stand-alone text, however, and should accompany a comprehensive introductory statistics text for those with no previous statistics experience.
