Why do statistical analysis in Excel?

The reasons for choosing Excel are as follows:

It is widely available and so many people already know how to use it
It is not necessary to incur the cost of yet another tool
There is no need to learn new methods of manipulating data and drawing graphs
It already contains some basic statistics functions and data analysis tools
It is much easier to see what is going on since unlike the more popular statistical analysis tools very little is hidden from the user
Excel provides the user with a lot of control and flexibility

This makes Excel an ideal tool for learning statistical concepts and performing some basic statistical analyses. Unfortunately, its built-in statistics capabilities are limited. As a result, many prefer to use statistical tools such as SPSS or SAS for carrying out more advanced statistical analyses.

We created the Real Statistics Resource Pack to address these shortcomings. This software package contains various supplemental tools that enable you to carry out a wide range of advanced statistical analyses without leaving the Excel environment. You can download the Real Statistics Resource Pack free of charge from this website.
