This book shows you how to analyze data sets systematically and to use Excel to extract information from data almost effortlessly. Both are (not) an art!

The statistical methods are presented and discussed using a single data set. This makes it clear how the methods build on each other and gradually more and more information can be extracted from the data. The Excel functions used are explained in detail - the procedure can be easily transferred to other data sets.

Various didactic elements facilitate orientation and working with the book: At the checkpoints, the most important aspects from each chapter are briefly summarized. In the freak knowledge section, more advanced aspects are addressed to whet the appetite for more. All examples are calculated with hand and Excel. Numerous applications and solutions as well as further data sets are available on the author's internet platform.

Statistics is fun and interesting. Interesting because we use statistics to discover relationships and understand how people and also other things, such as companies, behave. Fun, simply because it is fun to discover things. At the same time, statistics is important. If we can observe and evaluate how people, companies, or other objects behave, then we simply understand many things better.

The examples are calculated both by hand (for a manageable number of observations) and with Excel (on a full data set). This makes it easier to understand the ideas and concepts of statistical methods, and at the same time we learn how to apply them to a larger data set using Excel. Excel can also be used to check tasks calculated by hand.
