 Not Useful November 19, 2008
Tango Static (San Jose, CA)
I bought the book to do a spreadsheet for a new business. The author assumes I am already well versed in Excel, but at this point, I hadn't used Excel for about 6 years. Maybe I should not have purchsed this book, as the author covers topics not useful to me. I would think that business modeling allows one to do a spread sheet and do sensitivity analysis, as to which items are major cost drivers. This is obvious by inspection. Excel also allows one to do pie charts and bar charts.
The author gets into present value calculations and internal rate of returns but there is better software for this. He includes a disk but it wasn't obvious to me which files to open.
This book would be better used in a finance class. It's not for the user who needs some quick help.
There is lots of material in this book, but its usefullness, for me, was minimal.

Winston is a guru in his field and it shows in this book, which tackles all the necessary tools you will need "on the job" and does so in a rich, but easy to understand language.
At times, you will feel that the author is coaching you all along, right over your shoulder.
an amzing book that I reference at least once a week, this book is must-own for anyone who wants to model business decisions & stand out among your peers

Huge improvement over past Excel manuals because this financial analyst can actually understand the steps being described.
Great Overview of the Power of Excel 2007 January 8, 2008

I'll start by saying I'm biased: I believe Excel 2007 is awesome. So, this book is a great reference for how to get more out of a great tool. I've been to Wayne's seminars, adn his book is a great substitute for his classroom knowledge and experience. THe examples are highly practical, and his data samples on the included CD make learning how to use the functions a lot easier. Love the basketball and baseball stat examples!
