Overview
Use the spreadsheet of your choice to make financial decisions relating to investments and loans. Understand how inflation affects a cashflow and get to grips with internal rate of return. Spreadsheets take the hard work out of financial calculations, but you still need to know how to do them. What the computer takes away is the need to be good at arithmetic. Computers do the sums for us, no matter how complicated or extended, and never get the wrong answer. This allows us to concentrate on the way that the calculations work rather than the arithmetic that they lead to. Financial Functions With A Spreadsheet assumes that you are familiar with the fundamental operations of the spreadsheet of your choice, Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc or similar, and introduces you to the built-in functions provided for making financial decisions. Throughout the book sample spreadsheets and charts are presented with details of how you can construct them for yourself and use them for you own investigations and investment decisions.
