If you need to develop complex statistical or engineering analyses, you can save steps and time by using
the Analysis ToolPak. You provide the data and parameters for each analysis, and the tool uses the
appropriate statistical or engineering macro functions to calculate and display the results in an output
table. Some tools generate charts in addition to output tables.
The data analysis functions can be used on only one worksheet at a time. When you perform data
analysis on grouped worksheets, results will appear on the first worksheet and empty formatted tables
will appear on the remaining worksheets. To perform data analysis on the remainder of the worksheets,
recalculate the analysis tool for each worksheet.
