Using Data Analysis Tools
Excel provides a collection of statistical functions and macros to analyze data in the Analysis ToolPak.
The Analysis Toolpak is an add-in program, which may need to be loaded
using the Add-In pane in Excel Options. The tools can be used for a
variety of scientific and engineering purposes and for general
statistical analysis. You provide the data, and the tools use the
appropriate functions to determine the result. To effectively use these
tools, you need to be familiar with the area of statistics or
engineering for which you want to develop an analysis. You can view a
list of all the tools in the Data Analysis dialog box. For additional
information about each tool, see the online Help.
