Most books on modeling are either too theoretical or too focused on the mechanics of programming. Powell and Batt's emphasis on using simple spreadsheet models to gain business insight (which is, after all, the name of the game) is what makes this book stand head and shoulders above the rest. This clear and practical book deserves a place on the shelf of every business analyst. (Jonathan Koomey, PhD, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Stanford University, author Turning Numbers into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving)
