DESCRIPTION
This book teaches you how to develop large, bug-free, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-maintain spreadsheets. It explains how techniques that work on small spreadsheets fail on larger projects. Methods from this book can be critical when the developer of the spreadsheet isn't the one using or maintaining it. The Professional's Guide to Robust Spreadsheets is rich with real-life examples in both Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel. This book helps you:
- Design for ease of use
- Plan for trouble-free maintenance
- Reduce programming errors
- Write spreadsheets that self-detect and correct wrong data
- Write effective reports
- Bring quality control to your design
- Set organizational standards for spreadsheet design
- Automate routine tasks with macros
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"I found myself marvelling at how relatively profound points could be
so clearly expressed. This refreshing clarity made the book fun as
well as educational."
--Allan G. Atherton, Computer Consultant
"This is the only book I've read that shows how to write better
spreadsheets, rather than simply use a spreadsheet program."
--Peter J. Luise, President, Renaissance Soluations
