R for Excel Users: Introduction to R for Excel Analysts

Many data analysts get their start working in Microsoft Excel, as it is a relatively inexpensive graphical interface with nearly unlimited learning resources. After some time, you may find that you want more flexibility in your analysis, but learning a programming language like R can be a daunting challenge. This book attempts to make that transition as seamless as possible by taking what many Excel users already know and building upon that in R. In his book, John Taveras walks you through the fundamentals of data analysis in R by using language familiar to Excel users such as “vlookup”. He also gives an introduction to the topics that make R such a powerful language, loops and conditional statements, in his “Advanced Topics” section. If you are new to R, but have a good understanding of the data analytics process in Excel, you may want to consider this book to help smooth the transition.
