  13. BIT 512 Business Decision Models & Skills • Fluency in advanced spreadsheeting is a must in a wide range of business areas. (The mastery of advanced spreadsheeting requires serious attention and practice, which belies the common misconception that "spreadsheeting is easy.“) • There is so much horsepower in Excel that it is sometimes referred to as the "Swiss Army Knife" of software. • BIT 512 delivers MCAS (Microsoft Certified Application Specialist) spreadsheeting skills. (The textbook used in BIT 512 is MCAS-certified by Microsoft.) • Topics covered in BIT 512 include: the recording and use of macros; scenario creation and use of the scenario manager; structured what-iffing in the context of Data Tables; use of auditing tools to troubleshoot and verify spreadsheet models; models spanning multiple worksheets and workbooks; introduction to the use of Solver for linear and nonlinear optimization; use of Microsoft Query to access information in external databases; financial functions and their use in analyzing the financial characteristics of proposed undertakings; record manipulation, including filtering and advanced filtering; the use of conditional statistical functions with sets of records; and the use of PivotTables to extract summary statistical information from sets of records.

  14. BIT 513 Business Decision Models & Skills • BIT 513 uses three commercial third-party Excel add-ins to support the study of building decision-support models using three alternative decision-support methodologies. • One methodology is risk analysis, which involves the building of Monte-Carlo spreadsheet-based simulation models based on the Palisade @Risk add-in. • Another methodology is decision analysis, which involves the building of probability-tree models using the Palisade PrecisionTree add-in. • The third methodology is linear and nonlinear optimization, which involves model building using the Frontline Systems Solver add-in. • Each of the three methodologies includes the use of sensitivity analysis. ("How sensitive are the optimal decisions to the assumptions made about uncertain future outcomes?")

  15. BIT 515 Business Decision Models & Skills • You should take this course if your goal is to: • work more efficiently with excel, • save time when faced with time consuming tasks • develop decision support applications with VBA in Excel (Note that to achieve this goal you first have to learn how to write code, a somewhat challenging task for those who have not done so before.) • The first part of the course will build your VBA programming skills. In the second part of the course we will be using these skills to review several business applications developed with VBA. During the entire semester, in class and at home, you will write short programs in VBA.
