Creating and Verifying Data Sets with Excel

Accurate data entry and analysis can be deceptively labor-intensive and time-consuming. <b>Creating and Verifying Data Sets with Excel</b> is a focused, easy-to-read guide that gives readers the wherewithal to make use of a remarkable set of data tools tucked within Excel--tools most researchers are entirely unaware of. Robert E. McGraths book is the first to focus exclusively on Excel as a data entry system. It incorporates a number of learning tools such as screenshots, text boxes that summarize key points, examples from across the social sciences, tips for creating professional-looking tables, and questions at the end of each chapter. Providing practical strategies to improve and ease the processes of data entry, creation and analysis, this step-by-step guide is a brief, but invaluable resource for both students and researchers.
