Overview

Take Excel to the next level

Excel is the world’s leading spreadsheet application. It’s a key module in Microsoft Office—the number-one productivity suite—and it is the number-one business intelligence tool. An Excel dashboard report is a visual presentation of critical data and uses gauges, maps, charts, sliders, and other graphical elements to present complex data in an easy-to-understand format. 

Excel Data Analysis For Dummies explains in depth how to use Excel as a tool for analyzing big data sets. In no time, you’ll discover how to mine and analyze critical data in order to make more informed business decisions.

  • Work with external databases, PivotTables, and Pivot Charts
  • Use Excel for statistical and financial functions and data sharing
  • Get familiar with Solver
  • Use the Small Business Finance Manager
