Business Analytics 2nd Edition

Bought this for an intro to Accounting Analytics class and this serves a great introduction to a basic understanding of the analytics field. It also teaches you some hidden excel functions and add-ons that you may utilize to perform your analytics and statistics.

The product was delivered with utmost care and the quality of the product too is great.Thank you

This was assigned for a graduate data analytics course. It was easy to follow, well written and easily referenced.

It's written in narrative style, but bounces around from picture to picture, page to page... you'll give yourself ADD by the time you finish a chapter.Simple instructions are written out narrative-style, and backwards. Example: "click the Conditional Formatting button in the Styles group within the Home tab." How about: Home > Styles > Conditional Formatting. That's 10x easier and won't give your brain a stroke trying to read.Also, the homework questions use terminology that may or may not be used in the chapter, but it certainly isn't found in the index or the end of chapter summary, or table of contents. So you end up flipping through the entire Chapter trying to find some use of this word.Example: "Open file X and make and Excel table." Well, file X looks like a table to me already. Is this a special term? It's not in the back of the book, back of the chapter, or front of the book. I'll just waste a bunch of time trying to figure out what the question is asking. Then it goes on, "what is the distribution of Y?" Well, do you want to me create my own graph; are you asking me to use a certain function? Do you even want a graph at all or a different kind of table for this "distribution"? How about just USE THE SAME TERMINOLOGY YOU DID ALL CHAPTER so I know what the question is asking!!!

My fiancé got this for her courses at college. I can't really review this on her behalf, because I didn't read/use this book. But hey, she passed her course so this must work!

First 14 pages of book covered over half of the content that was covered in another school's online course. Totally worth every penny!

Lots of typos

Be prepared for endless frustration. How this book was ever seen to be fit to print not once but twice is beyond me. It's horribly edited for starters. The text will give directions or steps on completing a process in reverse order using passive language. It will cite a table or chart as an example and then bury that table or chart under unrelated text on the next topic. Just awful.Then, you look at the examples... good grief. No clear direction and they basically sum things up by saying, "Just do something, and this is the answer." The problem sets that come in the Excel file are frustratingly vague. The practice problems are either vague or incorrect.This book is just an absolute mess, and don't be surprised if your professor who assigned the book is just as scatterbrained. Them assigning this text should be a HUGE red flag.
