The Microsoft® Office System is the most popular desktop suite of personal productivity tools and technologies. Because the Microsoft Office suite of tools is so comprehensive, it can be challenging for people in certain professions to understand how to use Office to perform tasks specific to their job. This book focuses on the tasks that financial analysts performs every day—rather than the all too common software-centric approach that many other technology books habitually adopt. Other Microsoft Office books on the market are often difficult to understand because they largely address an Information Technology (IT) audience, cover too many professions in a single book, or are so large (more than 800 pages) as to be overwhelming. This book was written with financial analysts in mind. In fact, this book was developed by consulting and interviewing industry experts, software trainers, technology experts, and financial professionals. The author learned exactly which topics were most troublesome for financial analysts, and made sure to explain them thoroughly.
