 Customer Reviews 
Error, errors, errors
Rating: 
This book lost all credibility on the 3rd chapter. The assumptions and dashboard worksheet numbers don't match up with the sales budget numbers. I continued along through the example to find more errors. What an idiot. What a waste of time. Don't buy this book.
goes somewhat beyond introductory Excel
Rating: 
The book has some merit to a reader new to Excel, and who wants something a bit more indepth than the Idiots or Dummy's books on Excel. Proctor gives examples that do more with the spreadsheets, and you get to appreciate what Excel can provide.
But, as other reviewers have cogently pointed out, the book really is not for business professionals, despite what the title says. An accountant or businessperson should already have more background on financial modelling with spreadsheets that the level provided here.
WAY too Basic for Most
Rating:
This work lacks substance for anyone remotely likely to have to do any real financial analysis. The examples are too simplistic to be of much practical value. If you have virtually no training or experience in Excel or accounting or finance then this book might be worth borrowing from a library to get you up to speed. If you have more than a week of experience in this area then it will sit on the shelf.
