Summary: "Although the reader should know enough about Excel to set up a simple spreadsheet, the author explains advanced Excel techniques used in the book. The book includes chapters dealing with random number generation, data tables, matrix manipulation and VBA programming. It also comes with a CD-ROM containing Excel worksheets and solutions to end-of-chapter exercises. The CD-ROM is platform-independent."--Jacket.
