Project Details (PC Users)
Professor Charles is using Microsoft Excel for statistical analyses in her class. This page is a resource for PC users to help you to understand how to use a variety of Excel's basic statistical functionality.
Hardware/Software
- Microsoft Excel for PC
What We Will Cover
- Selecting cells within an Excel file
- Using built-in functions for central tendency and variability
- Using the Analysis ToolPak Add-in
Cell Selection
- Enter: go to row below the current row
- Shift+Enter: go to row above the current row
- Tab: go to the column right of the current column
- Shift+Tab: go to the column left of the current column
- Control+click: hold down control while clicking new cells to select as many individual cells as desired.
- Shift+click: selects all cells between the currently selected cell to the desired cell being clicked. Works across rows and columns.
Central Tendency
Mean
1. Select the cell where you would like the mean value to be output.
2. Navigate to the Formulas tab in the Menu bar ==> More Functions ==> Statistical ==> AVERAGE.
3. The Function Arguments window below will appear, as seen below. Excel will attempt to guess your data set, but this can be manually selected with the next step.
4. Now, click on the first cell of your data set (behind the Function Arguments window); then, while holding down the shift key, click on the final cell of your data set.
5. Hit enter, and the mean of your data set will be output into the cell that you picked.

Median
1. Select the cell where you would like the median value to be output.
2. Navigate to the Formulas tab in the Menu bar ==> More Functions ==> Statistical ==> MEDIAN.
3. The Function Arguments window will appear, as seen below. Excel will attempt to guess your data set, but this can be manually selected with the next step.
4. Now, click behind this window on the first cell of your data; then, while holding down the shift key, click on the final cell of your data.
5. Hit enter, and the median of your data set will be output into the cell that you picked.

Mode
1. Select the cell(s) where you would like the mode value(s) to be output.
Note: Multiple cells should be selected when the number of mode values is not known.
2. Navigate to the Formulas tab in the Menu bar ==> More Functions ==> Statistical ==> MODE.MULT.
3. The Function Arguments window will appear, as seen below. Excel will attempt to guess your data set, but this can be manually selected with the next step.
4. Now, click behind this window on the first cell of your data; then, while holding down the shift key, click on the final cell of your data.
5. Hit enter, and the mode(s) of your data set will be output into the cell(s) that you picked. Cells that do not receive a mode value will receive an "#N/A".
