Microsoft® Office Excel® 2007: Data Analysis and Business Modeling (Bpg -- Other)
This book should be on the desk of anyone analyzing data. It IS NOT for someone who doesn't know Excel 2007 and the basics of analyzing or working with data.
However, I've gone through Chapter 39 and have found this book is filled with all kinds of errors. I couldn't find any place on the internet that addresses these errors. Files missing or wrong (ie. Chapter 9 solution file problem numbers are incorrect), examples not matching my Office, Home, Student 2007 version (ie. pg. 43 references a DATEIF function that doesn't exist), plus many more.
The author or Microsoft needs to do a better job of proofreading or at least have a website where readers can post the errors they find so everybody using this book doesn't spend their time refinding the same errors.
