Financial Analysis and Modeling Using Excel and VBA

Praise for the first edition of Financial Analysis and Modeling Using Excel and VBA
"Excel and VBA have vast capabilities, yet until this book, users were on their own to figure out just how to use these tools for both single and complex financial problems. Financial Modeling fills the gaps with practical guidance to modeling a wide range of finance problems."
—Tim Koller, Partner, McKinsey & Company, Inc.
Although many people think that financial analysis and financial modeling are different activities, they are actually the two sides of a coin.
