Business Analytics: Data Analysis & Decision Making - Standalone book

My issue was not seeing anything written about the new book having access codes. If that were declared it would have helped a great deal. Usually new books do have, but not alwaysThank you for the quick service turnaround.

Super

Brand new

It is awesome. Great explanations and examples.

the book that you need to have if you want to study data analytics with little previous knowledge on the subject

Liked - difficult but necessary to complete MBA course

This book does have credit in that it tries to assist those who are not mathematics majors, however it is still extremely difficult to understand (especially for those such as myself who do not have a math-oriented mind). The worst part, however, and the reason for the one star review, is the book's extreme over reliance on third party add-ins for Excel, such as StatTools. The book goes to great lengths to explain how to use this program, but the issue is that the add-in is not available for Mac computers. Therefore, this book is practically useless for anyone without a Windows PC. I was unable to complete about a quarter of the work assigned in my class due to the fact that the book does not explain how to do the work without using StatTools.

Comprehensive and well organized.

Honestly I expected so much more from W. Wilson. I have his other Excel books and he is a fine educator. This book is complete rubbish. Don't expect to see much in the way of how to perform quants with Excel. The chapters give little excel instruction and focus instead on a tool that you only have a trial license. There are a few good takeaways, but I would recommend Wilson's other Excel analysis and modeling books.
