Customer Reviews

Financial Modeling

The book gives great examples and functionality as long as you have the software needed. For example, make sure to have "complete" copy or @Risk...not just a trial version.

Nice book

nice book for the starters and great concepts to learn excel in an exciting way.

An execellent guide to intermediate/advanced models

This book does what it says it does in the title. It is a hand-on, step-by-step guide to constructing spreadsheet models to assist with decision making. The book guides the reader through intermediate to advanced modelling topics and is written at a level that is accessable to the novice and intermediate user. Advanced users are probably already familiar with the techniques presented. Someone interested in the tiresome advanced mathematics behind the models should look instead to academic journals . . . someone interested in APPLYING that stuff to something useful should consider this book.
