Inhaltsangabe

Organizations are increasingly aware that decisions based on the information are preferable to those based on intuition or judgment. The traditional methods of business intelligence (BI) do not satisfy this information need. Self-service BI tools are one of the hottest trends in intelligence solutions today and promise to solve this problem by providing organizations with the agile intelligence they need to improve their decisions. These tools are effective because they solve this timeliness of data problem by enabling the users to be more self-sufficient.The product could have all the features and functionality that allow end-users to consume the data, but if they cannot operate the software, these abilities become irrelevant. To mitigate this potential problem and allow one to begin providing the insight that is needed in today’s competitive environment, the focus of this book will be with solutions all available in any version of Excel. While Excel may not offer all the advanced BI capabilities, its extensive presence in so many organizations allows it to be an excellent platform to begin the first steps in the analytics journey.• Learn the important statistics needed for exploratory data analysis• Understand why statistics alone are insufficient to understand the numbers• See how two simple graph styles can serve as the basis for almost all visualizations• Recognize the best practices for designing effective and efficient graphs• Develop additional features allowing for additional data insightTim Richmond has been a CPA for over 25 years and has worked with manufacturers, retailers, wholesale distributors and service providers. As a public accountant, he has provided guidance related to all aspects of accounting, tax, payroll, risk management, and benefits. This broad exposure, however, was lacking any insight into technological solutions. In August 2013, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Business Intelligence from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. The coursework included higher-level quantitative analytics, operations research, financial modeling, visualization best practices, and overall data management techniques using both Excel and cutting-edge software solutions from Oracle, SAS, IBM, Qlik and Tableau.
