Data Analysis For Mac Excel



The Excel Data Analysis toolpak should be enabled by default on every lab computer and computer available for checkout from the library. However, someone may have gone through and disabled the Toolpak for whatever reason, or the machine may have been overlooked by the computer tech staff (accidents happen; we're only human). If someone has gone through and manually disabled the Toolpak, you can follow the instructions below to re-enable it, or you can restart the machine you're working on. Restarting a computer in the computer labs, an email station, or one of the computers available for checkout from the library will restore that computer's default settings (which includes having the Data Analysis Toolpake enabled).

Dear Human Being,

Last year was the “Year of Statistics” — so what did you do about it?

Most likely cried yourself to sleep in a corner, or spent your days struggling with statistical software designed by evil elves to make your mind implode.

Today, the power of statistics seems to be reserved for experts with advanced degrees and employers with deep pockets. And that’s a shame, because data plus statistics equals knowledge, and as the saying goes, knowledge is power. That power should belong to everyone, not just a privileged few.

Well, I have some good news. I’ve designed a new kind of statistics program. It’s designed for you. That’s right… you! Because it doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned statistician, or are just getting started with data analysis. I know that you want a program that’s easy to use, that produces research-quality output, and that gives you advanced insights instantly.

The program is called Wizard, and to be perfectly honest with you, I think it’s the most exciting desktop software since the spreadsheet. Wizard is built from the ground up to make data analysis… well, pleasant. Approachable. Easy on the eyes. You won’t find any command line or programming language in Wizard. To summarize a variable… just click on it. You’ll instantly see a picture like this:

Wizard knows what you want based on context. And Wizard runs appropriate statistical tests to give you the answers you’re looking for, even if you don’t know exactly the right question to ask.

So if you’re new to statistical computing, you’ll find that Wizard is the absolute best choice for your first statistics program. Bar-none, hands-down, no question about it. Wizard has a gentle learning curve, and mistakes are difficult to make with Wizard’s intuitive, informative interface.

If you’re a business user, you’ll love Wizard’s ability to export PDF graphics and interactive Excel spreadsheets. Wizard will help you present and explain statistical findings, and assist colleagues in making better business decisions using Wizard’s powerful modeling techniques.

Finally, professional researchers will find that Wizard Pro is an excellent companion to SAS, Stata, and SPSS, helping you to do more research in less time. All versions of Wizard have advanced analytic capabilities, including:

  • Multivariate modeling
  • Multi-core computation
  • Sophisticated regression options
  • No artifical limits on the size of your data

If you ever need more than Wizard can offer, the Pro version lets you copy-paste generated commands from Wizard into your favorite stats program and take it from there. But you may never need to: Wizard handles millions of rows of data with ease.

How To Get Data Analysis On Excel

I could go on about how great Wizard is, but nothing explains Wizard better than the fun and excitement of using Wizard for the first time. So go ahead: download the free trial and start experiencing the joy of Wizard for yourself.

The statistical revolution is finally here… and lucky for you, it’s easy to use!

PS- Wizard is only available for Mac, but if you’re reading this on a PC, consider this: for the price of high-end statistics software, you can buy Wizard and still have enough money left over for a top-of-the-line MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Amazing, isn’t it?
