Microsoft Excel 2019 Data Analysis and Business Modeling (Business Skills)

I am using this book in preparation for Microsoft's MOS-201 Advanced Excel Certification exam. The book is accompanied by downloadable Excel files that are supported by screenshots and explanations in the book! I have purchased two of Wayne Winston's previous books and my only regret is that I could not physically take one of his graduate classes.

This book covers all the new topics and has topics from beginner to advanced. For people saying that there are no files, that is not true. You can find them on the Microsoft site under downloads, once you find the page of the author.

This product is great information for beginners as well as for students needing additional help.

The delivery time was very fast, considering the fact that I ordered it the day before my class was due to start. The print is very easy to read. I also like the fact that the cover has not creased or look beat up after a few uses like a lot of paperbacks. The book is very well written with easy to follow illustrations. It also coincides with videos for excel on LinkedIn. I'm very happy with my purchase. It is a much needed addition to my library.

My headline should be rather obvious, but I saw a review or two criticizing the explanations of the way certain formulas,unrelated to excel, work and the more statistical concepts given in the text. But these aren't really valid considering that the book's focus is more to teach you how to use excel to implement these concepts rather than the reverse. One could say it's geared towards the former with a little bit of the latter mixed in. Either way I think as long as you make sure to read the preface to get a good idea of what to expect, the table of contents, and glance at a couple of pages you'll be able to make the correct decision.

Wayne’s coverage of the material is terrific but where he truly excels is in his use of examples and exercises that are both socially relevant but entertaining and enlightening as well. I have found his text to be very useful and I use it frequently... Rob

Not sure whether the author wanted to write a book about Excel 2019 or about Data Analysis and Business Modeling. Mixing both topics will create discontent on either side. The Excel 2019 features are rather well explained; the other content is disappointing and superficial.

Item arrived in a timely manner in good packaging that led to there being no signs of creasing or tearing in any of the pages.
