The book is a good fundamentals review of Excel capability for statistical data analysis. This type of book is good to have as a reference for those not using Excel stats every day. Simple, and clear how to do it which I like. Dr. Middleton's style is simple and straightforward as noted in other software and publications which is great for those of us who are not staticians but need statistics to help convey risk, variability and analysis conclusions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Data analysis using microsoft excel, September 21, 2008

By	Abdallah Chbeir (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is good: however, it is worth noting that I barely used. It was for a crash course in excel, and I worked for 2 years with excel, so I already was very comfortable with it. However it was a requirement for my course.
Nonetheless, the chapters I had to look at were very well explained.
