It's been a year since the published date on
January 1, 2006, where are ALL the EXCEL data?


The XL_Applications.zip posted on 28-Aug-2006
consists of about 1/3 of ALL the data/examples
in the book.


The book has 12 chapters; however, not a single
chapter is provided with complete EXCEL data/
examples. What XL_Applications.zip contains
are some selected data/examples from chapter 3
to 8. Again, NOT a single chapter is provided
with ALL the EXCEL data/examples used in that
chapter.


I won't recommend this book until O'Reilly takes
"actions" to provide the readers with ALL the
EXCEL data/examples used in this book at:
http://examples.oreilly.com/analyzingbdwe/


For reading a data analysis book w/o ALL the
data/examples to run it ourselves in EXCEL is
NOT useful at all.
