Praise for the first edition:
This book is a superb way in for all those looking at how to design investigations and collect data to support their findings. Sue Townsend, Biodiversity Learning Manager, Field Studies Council
[M]akes it easy for the reader to synthesise R and Excel and there is extra help and sample data available on the free companion webpage if needed. I recommended this text to the university library as well as to colleagues at my student workshops on R. Although I initially bought this book when I wanted to discover R I actually also learned new techniques for data manipulation and management in Excel Mark Edwards, EcoBlogging
A must for anyone getting to grips with data analysis using R and excel. Amazon 5-star review
It has been very easy to follow and will be perfect for anyone. Amazon 5-star review
A solid introduction to working with Excel and R. The writing is clear and informative, the book provides plenty of examples and figures so that each string of code in R or step in Excel is understood by the reader. Goodreads, 4-star review
