Analyze Data from an Experiment

Topic at a glance

Have you been performing calculations like exponential smoothing and Fourier analysis using a dedicated math package? Did you know that you can do the same number-crunching in Microsoft Excel and use all of the convenient and powerful analysis and formatting capabilities of Microsoft Excel on your results?

Important   Make sure you’ve installed the Analysis ToolPak add-in. If you chose the Typical installation for Microsoft Excel rather than Custom/Complete, you’ll need to run the Setup program to get this add-in. After installation, enable the Analysis ToolPak by clicking Add-Ins (Tools menu). You can work with data sets of up to 64,000 rows by 256 columns and of up to 32,000 characters per cell.
