Installation
Before trying to install the Real Statistics Resource Pack make sure that Excel’s Solver capability is installed on
your computer. Check this as follows:
1. Open up a blank Excel spreadsheet
2. Press AltTI (i.e. hold down the Alt key and press the T and I keys).
3. On the dialog box that appears make sure that the Solver addin is checked. If not, check it and click on the OK
button.
4. If the Solver addin was not checked you need to close the Excel file before proceeding to the next step.
Once you have downloaded the Resource Pack and made sure that Solver is installed, you need to install the Real
http://www.realstatistics.com/freedownload/realstatisticsresourcepack/ 1/60
Statistics Real Pack using the following steps:
1. Move the Resource Pack to where you want it located on your computer (see our recommendation below).
Caution: once you install the resource pack at a particular location it will be more difficult to move it later.
2. Open Excel, but don’t try to open the realstats.xlam file that you downloaded earlier.
3. Select File > Help|Options > AddIns and click on the Go button at the bottom of the window (see Figure
1). Alternatively you can simple press AltTI (i.e. hold the Alt key down and simultaneously press T followed
by I) and the dialog box shown in Figure 2 will appear.
Figure 1 – Addins dialog box 1
4. Check the Realstats option on the dialog box that appears (see Figure 2) and click the OK button.
5. If this option doesn’t appear, click on Browse to find and choose the realstats.xlam file. Then complete step
4 as described above.
Figure 2 – Addins dialog box 2
While you can place the Real Statistics Resource Pack anywhere on your computer, we recommend that you put
the file in the following folder:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns
where username is your user name in Microsoft Windows. Since some of these folders are hidden, you may find
it convenient to enable showing hidden folders. E.g., in Window 7 you can do this by opening the Control
Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options and then clicking the
View tab. Now in the Advanced settings, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then click OK.
Installation of Upgrades
Once you have installed the Real Statistics Resource Pack as described above, to install a new version of the
software you don’t need to repeat these steps. You only need to delete the previous version of the resource pack
and put the new version of the software in the same location as the previous version.
Real Statistics Functions
Once you have installed the Real Statistics Resource Pack you can use the Real Statistics functions in the same
way as you use the builtin worksheet functions supplied with Excel. These functions are described throughout the
rest of this website. A complete list of these functions can be found in Real Statistics Functions and Real Statistics
Multivariate Functions.
Real Statistics Data Analysis Tools
You can access the Real Statistics data analysis tools in one of the following ways, as described in Accessing Real
Statistics Data Analysis Tools:
By pressing Ctrlm or
By clicking on an icon on the AddIns ribbon or
By clicking on an icon on the Quick Access Toolbar or
Via the Macro dialog box
A dialog box will now appear which lists all the available Real Statistics data analysis tools. You need to choose
one of the data analysis tools from this list.
A dialog box will then appear as described in Real Statistics Supplemental Data Analysis Tools which enables you
to specify your input data and choose from available options. You can also access Help to get more information
about the selected data analysis tool.
A complete list of Real Statistics data analysis tools can be found in Real Statistics Supplemental Data Analysis
Tools.
Uninstalling the Real Statistics Resource Pack
1. Open Excel
2. Press AltTI
3. Uncheck the Realstats option on the dialog box that appears and click the OK button.

Dear Charles,
I’d like your advise to solve a problem with the “Jenks Natural Breaks”. When I use it in a small data matrix (10×10), the
results are fine but when I try to do the same with a 588×588 matrix, the results shows only the message #VALUE! (I am
using Excel 2010 and all my data is numeric…). What should I do?
P.S.: Thank you very much for making this addin available for us.
Best Regards,
Rodrigo.

Rodrigo,
A 588 x 588 matrix has 345,744 cells. I believe that my current implementation is limited to a little over 65,000 cells.
If you send me an Excel file with your data, I will try to figure out how to handle the larger size input.

Note that eVECTORS is an array function and so you need to highlight a range of cells and press CtrlShiftEnter to
get all the values. See Array Functions and Values to get more information about how you use array functions.

Thank you for coding this resource pack. It is tremendously helpful.
I upgraded to Office 2016 and to the latest release of Real Statistics (prior to now, I had been using the one released in
November 2015). I have been getting a lot of messages that begin with “Compile error in hidden module: …” (where … can be
AnovaAnalysis, frmAnova2post, etc). How can I fix this?

Al,
Are you using the latest release, i.e. Rel 4.6, which I issued on May 11? You can check this by entering the formula
=VER() in any cell.
If so, one possible problem is that you need to make sure that Excel’s Solver is installed. You do this by pressing Alt
TI and making sure that there is a check mark next to Solver.

I’m having this same problem. Everything downloaded/installed correctly, shows up in the addins list, using
the 4.6, and the Solver is checked as well. Still getting “compile error in hidden module: Analysis”
(specifically when I tried to run a ttest, not sure about other functions). On a new Mac Pro, using excel 2016.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I doubt that Rel 4.6 will work on a Mac. This release has only been tested on Windows computers.
You will need to use the Mac version of the software, which currently is an older release. You can
download this release from Real Statistics Resource Pack for Mac.

Thanks a lot for making the resources available for everyone to use.
I have a very simple 4 sample model . I need to estimate the coefficient. My data is as follows
x y
1 1
2 1
3 0
1 1
y is the mode choice and x is the travel time for a simple logit with utility of form V= beta*time. I ran the LogitCoeff but I get
no values. All I see is #VALUE on the output. Can you advise?
Thanks for your time

The model doesn’t converge to a solution. This is not so unusual with such a limited amount of data. Note, however,
that if you replace the last y value by 0 you will get a solution.

I am not sure what the problem that you are encountering is, but if you are using Excel 2007, then another user
(Cyberpreneur) suggests that you install the software in the following directory instead: /Microsoft
Office/Office12/Library/Analysis.
If you are having problems with both approaches, then I suggest that you delete any previous version of the software
and start over by putting the software anywhere you like.

First of all thanks Charles for outstanding library, really impressive fit.
Then, I had both “can’t find project or library”, password, and “compilation error in hidden module” errors.
These are related to missing Service Pack.
I updated to Service Pack 3, by downloading from microsoft website and installing, and the addin works
without problems.
Hope this helps downloaders.

Hi Charles!
I have Excel 2013. I have installed the ‘RealStats.xlam’ addin as described; however, Excel doesn’t recognize any of the
functions. The program is saved in:
C:\Users\mconverse85\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns\RealStats.xlam
Excel shows that ‘RealStats’ is an “Active Application Addin” referencing the same location as above
I have tried the following functions
=LEVENE(N5:P11) where N5:P11 is my data formatted as ‘General’
=MEAN(N5:P11)
=VER()
These functions even show up as options when I start typing them into the cell, but they always return a “#NAME?” (excel
error: The formula contains unrecognized text)
Any advice?

Charles says:

When you press AltTI do you see the addin RealStats in the list with a check mark next to it? If not then the addin
was not installed correctly.

Hello Lihua,
You should not try to open the file that you downloaded.
Instead you need to install it as described on the referenced webpage and then open a new Excel file (not the one you

Real Statistics requires VBA, but I don’t believe that the iPAD version of Excel supports VBA, and so you probably
can’t use the software on your iPAD. You can use it on a Mac or Windows computer.

Hi Charles,
My Real Statistics addin keeps disappearing from my Excel program (in Office 2016 for Windows 10). I tried re
downloading it, which worked once, but today I’ve tried redownloading and reinstalling it several times and failed. What
happens is that it doesn’t seem to show up in the Addins options in the menu. What should I do about this?
Many thanks, love the program.
Reply
Charles says:
Anna,
Glad you like the program.
It sounds like the Real Statistics doesn’t disappear, only that access to the program via the Addin ribbon disappears.
I’m not sure why this is happening, but something similar happened with Excel 2013. The following blog explained
what to do in this case.

Remember you can always access the Real Statistics data analysis tools by pressing Ctrlm (even if access disappears
from the AddIn ribbon).

To try to figure out what is happening, please answer the following questions:
1. What do you see when you enter the formula =VER() in any spreadsheet cell?
2. When you press AltTI do you see RealStats on the list with a check mark next to it? If not the program was not
installed corrected and you need to click on the Browse button to locate where you stored the file you downloaded
containing the Real Statistics software.

The latest version of the software uses Solver. You might be getting this message because you have
not activated Excel’s Solver capability. My suggestion is to check whether the Solver tab appears on
the right side of the Data ribbon in Excel. If not, then press AltTI and make sure that Solver is
checked in the dialog box that appears. Once you have done this, close Excel and reopen it. Hopefully
the password message no longer appears.

Others have told me that the software works without problems with Excel 2016. Most of the time when someone gets
this type of error message it means that the software was downloaded but not installed properly (so that Excel
recognizes the software as an addin). If you press AltTI when in Excel and don’t see RealsStats on the list with a
check mark next to it, then the software wasn’t installed properly. Another problem is that the user tries to open the
RealStats.xlam file; you don’t need to open this file nor should you try to.

I am looking to use the winsorize function for a large data set (100k+) and it seems it is only able to work with around 63k
data points. Is there any way to get around that? I was going to look at it in the Visual Basic Editor, but it requires a
password.
Thanks,

Reply
Charles says:
Jake,
The WINSORIZE function is restricted to about 65,500 data points. You can use ordinary Excel to create a similar
outcome. Suppose that the data is contained in the range A1:A200000 and you want to winsorize based on a value p
(as for the WINSORIZE formula). Follow the following steps:
Step 1: Place the formula =INT(COUNT(A1:A200000)*p/2) in cell E1
Step 2: Place the formula =SMALL(A1:A200000, E1) in cell D1 and =LARGE(A1:A200000, E1) in cell D2. Cells D1
and D2 will contain the lower and upper cutoff values.
Step 3: Place the formula =IF(A1D$2,D$2,A1)) in cell B1.
Step 4: Highlight the range B1:B200000 and press CtrlD. Range B1:B200000 now contains the same data as
A1:A200000 except that the smallest and largest values have been replaced by the cutoff values.
Some cautions. I haven’t tried to perform these steps myself and so I may have made an error. Also, this approach
will handle ties in a way that is different from what you desire.

have the following characteristics:
– Number of records: 158623 with 467 churned records
– Predictor: 1. Birth Year; 2. Payment menthod (4 dummy category); 3. Education (3 dummy category) = 8 predictors
Are there any issues on this? Help much appreciated!

Justin,
If you are using multiple linear regression, then until the latest release you were limited to 64 predictors. This limit
was increased in the latest release of the software, but in any case 8 predictors should not be a problem. I just ran a
model with 11 predictors and over 160,000 records and it all worked fine.
The software won’t work with when any of the data is nonnumeric (except the column headings). If the “churn
records” contain blanks or nonnumeric values, then these have to be eliminated before running the regression. In
any case, this would not result in the error message that you received.
If you send me an Excel spreadsheet with your data I can try to figure out what has gone wrong. You can find my

After installation I get about 35 times the message “Could not load some objects because they are not available on this
machine.”
I’m running Office 2013 of a Windows 7 64bit machine.
I’ve discovered this problem is related to previously having Office 2010 on my machine which some time ago received a
flawed Security Update. In this Security Update a newer version of mscomctl.ocx (v2.1) was installed, but the reference to the
old v2.0 wasn’t removed.
After applying the fix from https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2597986
the number of those error messages went down to 3.
Repeating the process from the above KB manually for the file comctl32.ocx fixed those last 3 errors.

For the installation location there is an easier notation. The hidden directories make it sometimes difficult to find. Instead of
installing to:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns
try entering the following name in Explorer
%APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns

Thank you very much for suggesting this approach. This simplifies things quite a lot.
On my computer (Windows 8.1), I get an error message if I enter %APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns. But
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\AddIns works perfectly.

I just found out what is probably going on. The problem is how Excel 2013 handles addins. I will try to address this
in the next release of the software, but for now if this happens do the following:
(1) press AltTI and unclick the Analysis ToolPak and click on the OK button.
(2) Close Excel and reopen Excel (I am not sure this step is necessary).
(3) Press AltTI, click the Analysis ToolPak and click on the OK button.

The usual reason for this message is that you have downloaded the software but not installed it. You never need to
supply a password.
To install the software, press AltTI (i.e. hold the Alt key down and press the T and I keys). You will see the AddIns
dialog box. Click on the Browse button and search for the Real Statistics software at location where you downloaded
the file to. When you find it you need to click on the OK button. The AddIns dialog box should reappear, but this
time the RealStats selection should appear in the list and should be checked (if not check it). Now click on the OK
button and you are done. You should be able to use the software.

Excel shows a VBA error message: “Runtime error ‘5’: Invalid procedure call or argument”. Although the problem can be
solved closing the message, it’s not normal to get that one when opening an Excel file.
I haven’t try to install the addin in my another CPU (that has Office 2010), so I’m not sure if the problem is present in Office

The problema is not present in the prior version of Real Statistics (3.6.2).

If you have already installed the Real Statistics Resource Pack, then simply open a blank Excel file and use the Real

If you have not yet installed the Real Statistics Resource Pack, then open a blank Excel file (not the file you

Hi,
I have a problem with the DIAGONAL() and REVERSE() functions and performing other matrix operations.
Say I have a list A1:A3
I can find DIAGONAL(REVERSE(A1:A3)) and excel returns the correct 3×3 matrix
However if I then try and multiply this by another matrix by say
MMULT(B1:D3, DIAGONAL(REVERSE(A1:A3))) i get an #N/A error
However if I compute the DIAGONAL(REVERSE part first then use MMULT on this it works.
This makes the REVERSE function essentially useless in matrix operations.
Reply
Charles says:
March 18, 2015 at 12:02 pm
Ben,
You are correct. I haven’t always made sure that the Real Statistics array functions can call another function or be
called by another function. I developed most functions to be used standalone, although periodically I look into this
issue and modify some of the functions so that they behave properly in conjunction with other functions.
There is an additional complication with the REVERSE function. The REVERSE function not only reverses the order
of the elements in a range, but it also puts those elements in an array potentially of a different shape. This causes
problems.
I’ll look into the issues again, particularly DIAGONAL which was meant to be used with other functions.

Deyan,
As described on the You Tube video, you need to perform the following steps on the data before you can run Real
Statistics’ Logistics Regression data analysis tool:
1. Place Survived, the dependent variable, in the last column
2. Transform all alphanumeric variables into numeric variables or eliminate them. You can make Sex and Embark
numeric by using the approach shown on the You Tubes video or you can use the Real Statistics’ CATCODE array
function. The Name, Ticket and Cabin variables are alphanumeric and should probably be eliminated.
3. You need to do something about any missing data. The only numeric variable in the example that has missing data
is the Age variable. You have some choices about what to do. The video chose to replace all missing data by the
average of all the age data. Other choices are described on the webpage Handling Missing Data. You can probably use
one of the simple approaches described on the webpage Traditional Approaches for Handling Missing Data.
The person who did the video was able to use the Real Statistics tool to perform the logistic regression on the
resulting data set.

Thank you for the advice, but I actually have done this steps exactly like you describe them. I’m very familiar
with missing value analysis and data preprocessing. I think that the problem comes somewhere from the
communication of my Excel 2010 (specific options) and your software. I used a specific version (3.6.2.) but
translated in Bulgarian. I suggest that problem comes from that specificity. From my first contact to your
software till now I tried different data sets. Even I organised an online experiment yesterday and collect new
data but the results are similar. All time when I have run logit regression I got this error. I got no problems
with other analysis from the list (… this I’ve check) just with logit. Do you have an experience with such
problems.

I am not seeing this error message on my computer running Excel 2010, but I am not running a

would have thought that this would not be language related.
Are you getting partial results? Perhaps you are seeing headings or some of the output when you get
the error. If you can give me more information about this, perhaps I can figure out where in the
software the problem occurs.
In any case, it would be helpful if you can send me a spreadsheet with your data (after you have
resolved any missing data and have done the data preprocessing). Perhaps I can duplicate the error if
I have the exact data input that you are using.

Hi Deyan,
I looked at the spreadsheet you sent me and I can see that the problem is in the value for
alpha. The Bulgarian version of the software doesn’t like the format of the value used in the
input field. If you used the default value of .05, I suggest that you reenter it to make sure that
the software recognizes it properly. I am not sure whether you need to enter it as .05 or as
,05. You should try both possibilities to see which one works.

It is probably not your version of MS Office (unless you are running the 64 bit version of Excel, which is not so likely).
The most common problem is that the software has not been installed properly. You need to follow the installation

D1 contains “n” as a label
E1 now contains 20, but this should be able to be changed say between 10 and 100
F1 contains “p (any number between 0 and 1)” as a label
G1 contains any value of p
H1 contains the value of 100*p
I have inserted a Scroll Bar (Developer, Insert) with settings: minimum value 0, maximum value 100, increment 1, cell
reference H1.
You of course also need to adjust the formulas to not use fixed numbers but to use the variable numbers in H1 (and possibly
E1, although this requires changing the structure).
With these setting the user can very quickly set very different values and see what happens if the values are changes.
Similar developments could be done in many other worksheets.
I am suggesting this to you for your consideration. (I wonder what your opinion on this may be.)
Thanks for making this wonderful software freely available.
Best regards,
Zoltan

You have a very helpful website, and it sounds like you have a nice product as well. I genuinely appreciate that, and the

Mark,
My original objective was to create an educational website along with a free version of statistics software that could
be used by everyone without having to spend a lot of money (which is why I chose Excel as the platform). I am
pleased that over time my objective is being realized. The addin is indeed a product, but I am satisfied that people
can use it for free.
I plan to release a couple of books to accompany the website. These books are optional, but I will ask people to pay a
small fee for them.

Something has changed in Real Statistics 3.5, 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 . It seems like there are some problems with the VBA code in
that versions related to the number of bits (32 or 64, as Stephen Druley reported), the Excel version (2013), or the Windows
version:
1. When you press the “Help” button in any of the interface windows of Real Statistics Analysis Tool (versions 3.5, 3.5.1 and
3.5.2), Excel shows a message related to a “compilation error in hidden module: frmXXX” (for example, frmTTest). Excel
indicates that this error usually occurs when the VBA code is not compatible with the version, the platform or architecture of
application. The problem is general: it appears in all the options (Descriptive Statistics, T Tests, Analysis of Variance,
Statistical Power and Sample Size, and so on).
2. That problem is also related with the “comma” error appearing in the interface windows of Real Statistics Analysis Tool
(versions 3.5, 3.5.1 and 3.5.2) in the alfa box (appears “0,05” instead of “0.05”). That problem was reported for me in a prior
message as a KolmogorovSmirnov function (KS2TEST) problem, but the problem is general: it appears in all the options
(Descriptive Statistics, T Tests, Analysis of Variance, Statistical Power and Sample Size, and so on).
3. That problem is not present in prior versions of Real Statistics (3.4 and before versions runs properly), so I suppose that
the problem is probably related to a change of your software. Have you change your Microsoft Office version to 2013 recently,
or your Windows system? I supposed that because I have not changed my Microsoft Office version (2010) or my Windows
system (Windows 7). I have not changed my Excel options either (they are the same since 1 year ago aprox).
4. Today I ran Real Statistics 3.4, 3.3.1, 3.3, and they worked properly (obviously, without bug corrections that you have tried
to apply in Real Statistics 3.5, related to some Real Statistics functions): There are no problems with the “comma” in alfa box,
or in the “help” button in any of the interface windows in all the options (Descriptive Statistics, T Tests, Analysis of Variance,
Statistical Power and Sample Size, and so on).
5. In spite of that, if users correct the “comma” error in interface Windows, it seems Real Statistics 3.5, 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 get the
correct results, but the “help” button is not running.
6. Personally I prefer not to work with Microsoft Excel 2013, because it has produced some problems at my work place (for
example: Solver Addin is in German language; Data Analysis is in Spanish; some personaldeveloped addins can’t run in
that version of Excel, but they run properly in 2010 version).
I hope you can use this information to correct the bugs. Probably the origin is the use of the VBA environment in Excel 2013
instead of Excel 2010.
Thank you.
William Agurto.

This is quite strange. I am still using Windows 7 and Excel 2010 (32 bit version) as before. I haven’t made any major
changes in the design, except to add new features and to explicitly define the defaults for alpha to be .05 (the comma
issue). I haven’t changed how I handle the Help button. BTW, release 3.5.2 is to correct a bug in resampling for
correlation.

Real Statistics 3.6 runs OK, without errors in VBA code or “help” button reported by Excel (although “comma
bug” in alfa value persists; but it isn’t important: user can modify it before or after get the results).

the release number of the resource pack when you enter the formula =VER() in any cell of a worksheet. If not, this is

The QUARTILE.EXC function is not supported in older versions of Excel. You should avoid using it or any options for

The software should work no matter where you place it and you don’t need to supply a password. For example,
suppose you place it at
C:\Documents and Settings\narendra.kumar\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns
Next you should press AltTI. You will see the AddIns dialog box. Click on the Browse button and search for the
Real Statistics software at the file location you specified above. When you find it you need to click on the OK button.
The AddIns dialog box should reappear, but this time the RealStats 2007 selection should appear in the list and
should be checked (if not check it). Now click on the OK button and you are done. You should be able to use the
software.
Caution: I have never tested the Excel 2007 version of the software in Windows XP, but the above approach should
work.

When using a spreadsheet that someone else has prepared which refers to an Excel addin, you need to tell Excel
where that addin is on your computer. Fortunately you only need to do this once. This is the reason why you are
getting error messages and seeing
=’C:\Users\C\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns\RealStats.xlam’!COVP(B4:F30).

2. Alternatively, delete the RealStats file. Then press AltTI and if RealStats appears on the list of addins, delete it

You should only see a blank Excel worksheet. You can tell whether the Real Statistics software has been installed by

Hi Charles,
Let me first say, very impressive work! This website has been very educational and your RealStats plugin is helping me a lot.
I hate to ask for more when you are already providing these tools for free, but I’m having issues using your functions within
my own VBA macros. Specifically, I would like to call the MANOVA_Pillai(), MANOVA_Wilks(), and MANOVA_Hotel()
functions in my code without making a bunch of messy “Range.FormulaR1C1” assignments, but I don’t know what they’re
arguments or return values are. The easiest thing would be to see the code for these functions, but I understand if you don’t
want to give that out. So could you please provide either that password or an example call to the above functions?
Thank you so much.

Charles says:

Hi Dan,
The calls to all the functions are described under the Tools menu. For example the MANOVA_Hotel function is as
follows
Function MANOVA_Hotel(rg As Range) As Variant
‘ return a 5 x 1 array with Hotelling’s Trace for MANOVA, df1, df2, F and pvalue
‘ assumes that the first column of rg consists of identifiers of the independent variables and each of the
‘ other columns consists of data for the dependent variables w/o column headings

Dan Vicarel says:

Thank you, I hadn’t seen that page. A few things are still confusing me though:
1) I am trying to call the MANOVA functions within a loop, where a different set of data is being used in each
loop iteration. I think the macro will run much faster if I can pass a 2D array to the functions rather than
copy new values to a range and pass that range to the function every time. Can your code do this?
2) I tried assigning the return value of MANOVA_Hotel() to a Variant variable called returnArr in my code,
and it successfully gave returnArr a Ubound of 5. However, if I try to access any elements of returnArr (for
example MsgBox returnArr(2)) I get a “subscript out of range” error. Can you explain this?
Thanks again,
Dan V.
Reply
Charles says:
May 8, 2014 at 7:24 pm
Dan,
(1) I have implement many of the functions which take a range to accept either a range or a 2D array.
Unfortunately the MANOVA functions were implement to accept only a range.
(2) The return value for MANOVA_Hotel is a Variant which contains a 2D array. UBound(x,1) = 5 as
you pointed out, but I believe that you also need to specify the second dimension even though
UBound(x,2) = 1. Try using MsgBox returnArr(2,1)) and see if that works.

I have noticed that the MAD function is affected by the order of the array of data.
For example: 25, 75, 100 produces MAD=25; 100, 75, 25 produces MAD=12.5; 100, 25, 75 produces MAD=37.5
I’m assuming the function requires the data to be sorted in a certain order. I would prefer to not sort the data before
calculating. Is there a way to get around this?
If there is not a workaround, can you advise on the correct method to sort for the function to work correctly?
Many thanks!

Mike,
No mistake. It won’t appear. You need to press on the GO button at the bottom of the Addins screen. A dialog box
will appear. If you see RealStats on the list then click on the check box and press OK. If not press the Browse button
and navigate to where you saved the RealStats file and click on it. RealStats will now appear on the dialog box. Click
on the check box next to it and press the OK button. You should now be able to use all the supplemental functions on
any spreadsheet just as you would for a normal Excel worksheet function. To access the the data analysis tools press
Ctrlm.

I use the inventory of your functions and tools frequently, but find access to the lists a little cumbersome (too many clicks). Is
it possible to include more direct access to the inventories of functions and tools, perhaps from the link bar across the top of
the pages?
Thanks, Rich

I’ve got realstatistics loaded and in the active addins area. Is there a user manual I can reference to use the logit and chi
square functionality? I can’t find these options (logit and chi sqare) on any of the drop down menus within excel.
Thanks, K

Kevin,
The data analysis tools for logit and chisquare can be found by pressing Ctrlm (or alternatively by pressing AltF8
and inserting InitStats).
The website describes these capabilities. For chi square see http://www.realstatistics.com/chisquareandf
distributions/ and especially http://www.realstatistics.com/chisquareandfdistributions/independencetesting/.
For logit see http://www.realstatistics.com/logisticregression/.
There is a brief description of all the data analysis tools at http://www.realstatistics.com/excel
capabilities/supplementaldataanalysistools/. All the Real Statistics supplemental functions are described at

Sorry to see that you are having these problems.
I created a new version today called Rel 2.9.1. I also have created three versions of this software: one for use with
Excel 2010/2013, one for Excel 2007 and one for versions of Excel prior to Excel 2007. Especially if you are using
Excel 2007 or prior versions of Excel I suggest that you delete the existing version and download the latest version
again.
If the problem persists please tell me whether you can can enter the formula =VER() and whether you can access any
data analysis tools when you press Ctrlm.

Hi,
FYI, I experienced the same issue as Arturo et al on Excel 2007, win 7. I am quite sure that I followed your installation of
addin instructions accurately (did it several times) – there is definitely an issue with the vba program.
I am a programmer and thought you might be interested in this vb error msg (I can’t paste the image):
Can’t find project or library
So it seems in your vb project, you have a reference to a module that ,for some reason, is not found on the windows
installations that are having the issue (like mine and Arturo). I have had similar issues before with versions of some of the
microsoft libs, but that may be unrelated. Of course the easy way to clearly identify the issue would be to run it with the
source on a system where the issue occurs, since vb will immediately highlight the problem lib, but I’m sure you don’t want to
give out the source code…
Best of luck.

Hello,
I am a student form Kyoto University. I have downloaded and successfully installed Real Statistics Resources Pack in my
computer(windows 7, 64 bit) for Microsoft excel 2007. But the problem is that when I calculated eigenvalues/vectors by
using Matrix Operations, there appeared a message box ” Input data range must be square”. I couldn’t understand because
my matrix is completely square like 3 rows x 3 columns. Other functions are okay, for example, transpose function. Could you
help me why it is happening.

Hi,
I have followed your setup instructions, copied the file in the AddIns folder as you suggested and went through the excel
options > AddIns pressed Go, browsed to get the file added in the box and ticked the box and finally pressed OK and it
bounces an error message telling me that a reference or a library is not found. I press OK (it’s my only choice with Help
options that leads) and then it asks me for a password also.
I did understand that there is no need for any password, but I tried to follow the instructions you gave already three times
without any success and I don’t think I missed something by now as I have read and followed the instructions carefully.
Do you have any suggestion of what the problem could be?

The installation is really quite simple, but unfortunately, I don’t know why you and a few

Unmesh,
That you are being prompted for a password indicates that you haven’t installed the file correctly. You do not need to
supply a password. It is not sufficient to put the file in the correct directory. Please follow the following steps:
After selecting Office Button > Excel Options > AddIns in Excel 2007 or File > Help|Options > AddIns in
Excel 2010/2013, it is important that you look for the Go button at the bottom of the window. You need to click on
this button.
Once you do this you should be presented with a dialog box as described in the instructions. If you have already put
the Real Statistics Resource Pack file in the appropriate addin directory you should see its name on the list shown, in
which case you need to make sure that the file is checked. If not you will need to search for it by pressing the Browse
button on the dialog box.
Please let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

The Real Statistics Resource Pack doesn’t selfinstall. You need to follow the instructions on the website (on the

Charles says:
Hi Jorge,
The pack won’t necessarily appear in the list of addins. You will need to add it to the list. Usually the approach is as
follows:
1. Move the Resource Pack file to where you want it located on your computer (see our recommendation on the
website). Caution: once you install the resource pack at a particular location it will be more difficult to move it later.
2. Select Office Button > Excel Options > AddIns in Excel 2007 or File > Help|Options > AddIns in Excel
2010/2013, and click on the Go button at the bottom of the window.
3. Check the Realstats option on the dialog box that appears and click the OK button.
4. If this option doesn’t appear, click on Browse to find and choose the realstats.xlam file. Then complete step 2 as
described above.
I hope this helps. Sometimes (but not usually) after performing the above steps you will need to close Excel and then
reopen it again.

Hi
Just downloaded a few days ago to finish up some research and it works great. I have the windows version. I’d suggest to tell
people to move the file to where they want it before loading it into excel through their addins though. I did mine while it was
still in the downloads folder and when I moved it, it was a mess to get it working again, well at least for someone like me. My
husband whipped it up in less than 3 minutes. Just a reminder in the setup may be helpful for other nonsavvy people
looking for a easy, simple way to get some stats done.
Thanks for making it!

The Resource Pack was designed and tested for Excel 2007, 2010 and 2013. I had hoped that by saving the Resource

EMM,
I just tested the function and found that =FISHERTEST(R1,t) works fine on my computer. When you
say it didn’t work, what message did you receive?
If you receive the message #NAME? then Excel didn’t recognize this function. In this case, please
check to see whether any of the other functions work in the Real Statistics Resource Pack work. E.g.
try =VER().
If you receive the message #VALUE! then the FISHERTEST function is included in the resource
pack, but there is some other problem. Likely problems are the inclusion of nonnumeric data in the
data range or that the range you specified is not 2 x 2.
Please let me know which message you receive. Also which version of Excel are you using? (2003?
2007? 2010? 2013?). I hope this helps.
Charles

EMM says:
Other functions work ( I tested the chi square function). when I try the fisher test function, I

After using a few of the functions in the toolkit, I saved a spreadsheet to Microsoft Skydrive account. When trying to open on
Skydrive or after downloading the same file, was prompted for links that the error message indicated should be found on the
Skydrive account. It seemed to be looking for the resource kit, but not finding it on the skydrive. So the spreadsheet would
not open cleanly.
Any ideas? Or just don’t use or save to the cloud service.
Do you believe there would be similar issues with links, if sharing a spreadsheet between multiple computers that have the
resource kit located in different folders on each of the computers?

I am a professor at University of California, San Francisco. Your addin for Excel looks incredibly powerful and useful for my
research, but does it work with the Macintosh version of Excel 2011? Your description of the installation seems to apply to the
Windows version of Excel.
I downloaded and copied RealStats.xlam to the Addin folder of Office 2011. When I started Excel and then opened Tools >
Addins, I got an error message that a data file was not found and then was requested to enter a password.
Your guidance would be appreciated.

No progress yet on the Mac 2011 version. The main reason for this is that I don’t have a Mac and
haven’t been able to get my hands on one. Once I do, I will create a mac version.
Since Mac’s iWorks Numbers doesn’t support the Excel programming language I don’t have any
plans to provide a version for that environment.
I have just located a PC running Excel 2003 and so I will soon try to get out a version of the software
for that environment.
Sorry, but eventually I intend to get a Mac version out there.
