New Job

Today (31 March 2014) marks the last day I work at my current job. Starting tomorrow I will start with a new job.

During last year I thought a lot about leaving and did a couple of solicitations. This Februari I got an offer and took it. Starting 1 April 2014 I will be working as a laboratory technician on the research department of a big chemical company.

Excel 2007-2010 for staticians and scientists

Aside

When using Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010 for statistics and scientific purposes I can recommend the following books:

  1. Microsoft® Excel® 2010 Inside Out (ISBN13: 9780735626881)
  2. Microsoft® Excel® 2010: Data Analysis and Business Modeling, Third Edition (ISBN13: 9780735643369)
  3. Microsoft® PowerPivot for Excel® 2010 (ISBN13: 0790145300546)

The first book introduces you from the basics into advanced functions of Excel.

The second book introduces data analysis and modelling tools. The examples are for commercial targets but you should be able to adapt them to your own needs.

The third book teaches you Pivot tables using the PowerPivot Add-in for complex projects.
