FAO Conrad Calberg (Excel Sales Forecasting...)
Hello,
I just bought your new book. To my dismay I found out that the data files used in the book are NOT available, nor is your contact (both in book and publisher's website). I am not keen on using newsgroups so I do not know where to locate u; I suppose you use them since u mention them in your book. If you happen to see this, please reply as I am in very much need of the book's data files! If anyone who reads this can help, I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you |

Why don't you write to the publishers?

First of all sorry for mispelling the man's name, I am a bit of
dyslexic, it wasn't intentional. Sure, I'll write to Wiley, register and send my complaints to some random e-mail address they've got for the occasion; then wait and c how many days I'll have to wait for a response! Thanks. |

Since Conrad Carlberg hasn't posted in a microsoft.excel* newsgroup
(under that name, at least) since 17 June 2002, I suspect you'll have more success with Wiley. Rather than a random email address, though, I'd try the Technical Support link on their Dummies.com website, though: http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-100100.html choose the "Ask a Question/Report a Problem" or "Live Chat" tab... You'll probably have even more success if you spell out common words...

I figured out the most appropriate e-mail address to send my query to
and got a response which little had to do with what I asked. I am going to have to take my chances with Live Chat... Thanks |

What a waste of a book.
What's the point behind not making the data files available for download? I used Live Chat only to receive some ambiguous responses by an accordingly trained operator who was trying to make the case for the lack of data files quoting excerpts from the book. What a DUMMY am I for buying this book. As the author suggets (inside the book!), you should use your own business data for practise purposes. Now, what are the chances that a dummy runs his own business? :( |

Hey Thanks Debra; unfortunately they're not!
These are add-ins to support decision analysis. I managed to contact the author, very helpful chap, who advised me that the data files for the examples in the book are not available. Shame. |
