Statistical Analysis with Excel For Dummies, 4th Edition 4th Edition

The book is a thorough, well-laid-out instructional text on how to do statistical analysis with Excel. It appears to cover all the operations a person would need to do basic statistics. My only complaint is that the book does not cover the analysis of categorical data thoroughly and does not use the terms commonly used in the analysis of such data. For example, there is no mention of cross tabs, and one has to know that Pivot tables are the way to do cross-tab analysis.

Really like this book--it assumes only a modicum of familiarity with Excel and was perfect for my needs as I inherited a class in teaching elementary probability and stats and didn't want to have the students wasting too much time inputting data, and then running dozens of tedious computations only to get the wrong answer. I had never used Excel much and was fearing a steep learning curve trying to master Excel well enough to show my students.The only thing I didn't like about the book is that I get a. "Can't find the server" error message when I try to get to the online supplement. That is hopefully temporary.

I am using Excel for basic bio stats because I have yet to learn R and this book makes the process the least painful. Very good tutorial and definitely better than trying to piece things together on the internet.

This book is easy to read and is an excellent reference manual for Microsoft Excel.

The author does a good job of explaining theory. Not such a good job on implementation. Sometimes it seemed as if he felt it was time to end a section and kind of dropped off. I ended up going online for clarification elsewhere. The Excel examples are generally good. The Excel illustrations are hard to read-too small- and I had trouble copying numbers for examples even with my glasses even though I generally do not need them when I read and work on my computer. I have used other Excel books that offered the example spreadsheets online.

This author really understands how to convey unfamiliar information. He walks you through the appropriate conceptualization, never missing a step. He explicitly sets aside more complex information, but gets back to it when you are ready for it. Besides he is very very funny. A real treat. I used to teach statistics, and I envy his crystal clear presentations.

I love how the book clarifies how to use Excel's statistical analysis tools and statistics functions. I am getting ready to return to college and this book will be an awesome adjunct to my assigned text for Statistics for Psychology.

This book was a life saver. This is for ANYONE in need of mathematics review in subjects pertinent to an MBA program or other STEM-Master's programs. Recommend 100%.
