Computer Spreadsheets
=====================

Computer Spreadsheets
---------------------
Spreadsheets are one of the most useful pieces of software
available to the businessman. They take the effort (and the
errors) out of calculating, produce new forecasts at a single
key stroke, and the same framework can be re-used again and
again with different sets of figures.

But choosing the best spreadsheet for your needs from the
many programs now available can be a problem. In this book,
Nigel Day and Owen Rees look at the uses to which 
spreadsheets can be put and suggest features to look for
when buying one. They also explain the general principles
underlying such programs and demonstrate, using numerous
examples, how to design models that will fit your own
requirements. A number of popular programs on the market,
including Lotus 1-2-3, VisiCalc and ULTRACALC, are fully
discussed.

This book is essential reading for anyone contemplating 
buying a spreadsheet or who wishes to make fuller use of the
one they already own.
