Microsoft® Excel for Statistics? What you can and cannot do
**************************************************************
Dates: 20-21 February 2008. Duration: 2 days. Price: 535 GBP.
This course gives practical experience in the use of Excel for data summary
and presentation, and for other basic statistical work. It concentrates
primarily on the areas where Excel really can excel. These include basic
data entry and management, tabulation using Excel's pivot tables, and
graphics. We also review Excel's facilities for statistical analysis, giving
advice on their use and limitations, and discuss how add-ins or other
statistical software can be used to enhance Excel's capabilities.
Taking Microsoft® Excel Further: Macros for Data Management and Statistics
********************************************************************
Date: 22 February 2008. Duration: 1 day. Price: 290 GBP.
The ease with which Excel can be extended is a welcome and useful surprise
for those who wish or need to use Excel for statistical work.
This one-day course introduces participants to ways of extending Excel using
macros and other features of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Examples
include simple programs to reorganise data and to perform statistical
calculations. Practical sessions enable participants to develop and run
simple macros.
