Excel Basics to Blackbelt is intended to serve as an accelerated guide to decision support designs. Its structure is designed to enhance the skills in Excel of those who have never used it for anything but possibly storing phone numbers, enabling them to reach to a level of mastery that will allow them to develop user interfaces and automated applications. To accomplish this, the major theme of the text is “the integration of the basic”; as a result readers will be able to develop decision support tools that are at once highly intuitive from a working-components perspective but also highly significant from the perspective of practical use and distribution. Applications integration discussed includes the use of MS MapPoint, XLStat and RISKOptimizer, as well as how to leverage Excel’s iteration mode, web queries, visual basic code, and interface development. There are ample examples throughout the text.
Summary: A novel look at the power of Excel!

A novel look at the power of Excel. Great for people new to Excel2007, but also easily transferable to Excel2003. I had no idea it was this easy to develop amazing visual applications in Excel – The seamlessness of integration between Excel and other applications as well as the Internet was a new one for me as well.
I’m a Psychology Professor, and not in any way an “excel geek” and I found this book approachable, useful, and surprising! It’s a relief to finally have something like this on my desk. Where have books like this been all this time?”

I had no idea what Excel could do for me before reading this book. I’m in the field of medicine. I was able to create a customizable interface for large research experiments. This allowed me to do repeated experiments with variable numbers of groups, subjects and variables.
I automatically generated worksheets for data entry, statistical analysis, and elegant methods to present this data (including color, legends, error bars, etc.).
This made my work so much more efficient and my life SO MUCH EASIER!
Thanks, Dr. Bendoly.
