Bookstore shelves are overflowing with books on Microsoft Excel, however there are few books specifically written for business users offering professional techniques to analyze revenues and profits, fixed assets, growth, investments and other financial interests. Over the past eleven years however, Business Analysis with Microsoft Excel has been one of those rare books and has proven to be a steady seller. Furthermore, the book is a topic book, not a version specific book, so periodic, new releases of Microsoft Excel have less impact on its sales than books that focus just on the latest version. But the new version of Excel brings several new enhancements that need to be covered. Business Analysis with Microsoft Excel, Third Edition adopts a broader perspective on business analysis than does its competition.

Covered are both regression and smoothing approaches. Quality management Business cases and pro formulas. Marketing and product support. more...
