Excellent [Posted on 2005-03-17]
This book is excellent for seasoned Excel users and people who were taught (but didn't learn) statistics in your average graduate school program. I have never seen statistical concepts so briefly and at the same time well explained. Actually applying the concepts adds another level of learning. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent Reference, Not For Beginners. [Posted on 2007-02-08]
I bought this book to help me with the statistical analyses involved with my senior dissertation at my university. I am a psychology major and I could use all the help I could get understanding the Results Sections in the literature. This book explains all kinds of statistics, including the very helpful ANOVA and regression analysis amongst many other. However, it doesn't explain very well when or why you use these statistics. They don't provide many examples of research or problems that require such analyses. This book is great for a step by step tutorial using Excel and handwriting statistics problems, and reading your data.... but unless you have an idea of what you're looking for in the first place, don't bother. I am totally ignorant to statistical analyses and coming into this book, I didn't know when to use ANCOVA or even what precisely it was demonstrating in relation to the research I am conducting... and I still only have a vague idea... Hopefully this will all be explained in course. But, this is a valued reference for all Excel users, without a doubt!!

An excellent resource [Posted on 2007-11-03]
This is an excellent resource for those who need to do statistical analysis, but who don't want to (or can't afford) to hire it professionally done.

Excel has many sophisticated statistical analysis tools built in. The author explains how to access these capabilities, how to decide which of them to use, and how to use them correctly. In addition, there is a great deal of information on designing graphs to display the results of the analysis.

In addition, the author introduces each statistical function by explaining what the function does, how it does it, and why one might consider using it. The examples are brief, but that's because the book isn't intended to be a comprehensive introduction to statistics. (One excellent book for that is "Statistics for Dummies," by Deborah Rumsey.)

As is the case with most of the "for Dummies" books, this one divides the information into short, easily digestible bites. The writing style is somewhat breezy, but that never interferes with the utility of the book.

This is an excellent, short reference that is worth every penny. I'm very happy I bought it, and I'd do it again.
