About the Book
Ideal for those already familiar with basic Excel features, this updated Third Edition of Neil J. Salkind's Excel Statistics: A Quick Guide shows readers how to utilize Microsoft(R) Excel's functions and Analysis ToolPak to answer simple and complex questions about data. Part I explores 35 Excel functions, while Part II contains 20 Analysis ToolPak tools. To make it easy to see what each function or tool looks like when applied, at-a-glance two-page spreads describe each function and its use with corresponding screenshots. In addition, actual data files used in the examples are readily available online at an open-access Student Study Site.
