Summary

The book has 24 chapters in 6 parts. Part 1 covers Excel basics. Part 2 covers data handling methods and techniques, including data normalization, filtering, sorting, and summarizing. Part 3 covers formulas and functions commonly used in data processing and analysis, including logical, statistical, lookup, text, and date functions. Part 4 covers common methods and techniques for pivot tables and pivot charts, including pivot table calculation, sorting, filtering, and grouped statistics, as well as slicers. Part 5 covers data visualization methods, including chart creation, editing, and formatting, and the use of combo charts. Part 6 ties together the methods and techniques presented in the book through three integrated cases—HR data analysis, inventory reports, and financial expense analysis—so readers can practice and apply what they have learned by analogy.

Editor's review

This is a clearly structured, hands-on tutorial on Excel data analysis, organized into six parts—basic operations, data handling, formulas and functions, pivot tables and pivot charts, data visualization, and integrated cases—across twenty-four chapters. Its value lies in organizing scattered Excel skills into a complete chain from data-entry standards to analysis and presentation, especially with Part 6 closing on three cases (HR data analysis, inventory reports, and financial expense analysis) that let readers connect what they have learned in concrete business scenarios. The book covers filtering and sorting, commonly used functions, slicers, and combo charts, making it suitable as a self-study handbook for improving office skills or as in-house training material. Readers are advised to open Excel and work along rather than reading straight through; they can jump to the chapters relevant to their work and then use the integrated cases to test their mastery. For those with scattered operational experience but no systematic method, this book helps organize the analysis workflow; complete beginners should set aside more time for hands-on practice.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • New workplace professionals who need to systematically master Excel data processing and report creation
  • Administrative, HR, finance, and similar roles seeking to improve daily data analysis efficiency
  • In-house training or vocational courses looking for a structured Excel textbook
  • Those with scattered operational experience who want to fill gaps in functions and pivot tables

Not a good fit for

  • Readers seeking programming-based data analysis with Python, SQL, etc.
  • Analysts needing advanced statistical modeling or machine learning content
  • Readers who do not use spreadsheet software at all or have no conditions for hands-on practice

Reading tips

  1. Open Excel and work along; after each chapter, immediately practice with the included data or your own work data.
  2. Prioritize the chapters most relevant to your current work, then go back to fill in basics; do not feel obliged to read straight through in order.
  3. After finishing the pivot table and chart chapters, run through the integrated cases in Part 6 as a complete workflow exercise.
  4. Build your own quick-reference notes for functions, grouping common logical, statistical, and lookup functions by scenario.

FAQ

Can complete beginners read this book directly?
Yes, but hands-on practice is required. Part 1 introduces basic Excel operations; beginners should start there and set aside time to become familiar with the interface and basic data entry. If you have never used spreadsheet software at all, it is advisable to complete a few simple spreadsheet tasks before moving on to the data handling part, so that later study of functions and pivot tables is not too difficult.
Do I need to download the case data separately?
The materials do not state how to obtain the companion files; please refer to the book's copyright page, preface, or the publisher's official channels. If case data downloads are provided with the book, it is recommended to use them chapter by chapter; if you need to prepare data yourself, you can construct practice tables with the same structure based on the case descriptions without affecting your learning of the methods.
Which version of Excel is this suitable for?
The materials do not specify a particular version. The basic operations, commonly used functions, pivot tables, and chart features introduced in the book are generally available in newer versions of Excel, but some menu names or feature locations may vary by version. Readers can look up the corresponding commands in their own version; the core analysis methods are unaffected.
