Excel Battles and Overcoming Bad Data
These are tricks that Bill Jelen, “MrExcel,” and Oz du Soleil developed over the course of their careers as financial analysts tasked with fast converting mainframe data into actionable information. Data quality, validation, matching lists of data, data consolidation, data subtotals, pivot tables, pivot charts, tables, and a host of other topics are covered.
Stop Being a Victim of Bad Data!
“Be aware: This is not simply a technical book about spreadsheets; it is also possibly a complex treatise on how to use sophisticated Excel wizardry (Power Query, Pivot Tables, Dynamic Arrays, and more!) to end unnecessary suffering, resolve data disputes, and accomplish goals.
May this book assist you start the never-ending journey of becoming a “bona fide Excel beast” from a “crude Excel user,” but more importantly, may it also enable you to triumph over subpar datasets and emerge as a hero for the people the data is associated with.”
