As the premier spreadsheet and data analysis application for all kinds of computing devices running under Windows 10, Excel 2019 gives endless capabilities that are often hidden under technical language and masked by explanations that only software engineers and data scientists could decipher.

The discussions on this book strike a balance between the “how to” and the “so what” aspects of using Excel 2019. At the same time, it aims to be as clear and simple in its explanations, using a little jargon as possible.
Excel 2019 is worth the learning effort because it is one, if not the best data-processing and analysis applications ever developed.
