MS EXCEL® IS INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THIS EDITION AS A LEARNING TOOL. This edition presents Excel® as a learning tool, rather than a "fancy calculator." Students learn how and why accounting principles function the way they do. Readers not only learn to create a worksheet, but they also understand how it works as well as the assumptions behind the calculations. Students gain a deeper understanding than the traditional "template" approach offers. In addition, this edition facilitates your use of spreadsheets in your course.
UNIQUE SELF-TEACHING APPROACH ENABLES IN-DEPTH EXPERIMENTATION THAT OTHERS DO NOT OFFER. This edition's presentation extends well beyond other "how-to" spreadsheet texts. For example, the often-recommended scenario analysis is demonstrated in-depth. This book uses tools built into Excel® to simplify computation-intensive techniques, eliminating tedious calculations. Regression analysis, linear and nonlinear programming and the Monte Carlo simulation are explored as this edition encourages students to use tools mastered in previous statistics and management science classes.
COVERAGE OF THE SOLVER, THE FORECAST SHEET, GET & TRANSFORM AND PIVOT TABLES HELPS STUDENTS MAXIMIZE POWERFUL EXCEL® TOOLS. This edition provides a thorough introduction to more advanced MS Excel® skills, such as using web queries to download and work with Internet data or using pivot tables for extracting, summarizing and presenting data in readable form.
INTRODUCTORY LEVEL IS IDEAL FOR STUDENTS UNFAMILIAR WITH EXCEL®. This edition's reader-friendly approach begins at a basic introductory level that's perfect for learners who are not very familiar with Excel®. The book then quickly advances to topics that will challenge those who are entering your course already equipped with a basic understanding of spreadsheets.
