Real Statistics

Real Statistics Using Excel is an educational resource and free software package that helps users carry out a wide range of statistical analyses within Microsoft Excel. Its Real Statistics Resource Pack is an Excel add-in that extends Excel’s built-in capabilities with advanced worksheet functions and data analysis tools. The add-in supports many Windows and Mac versions of Excel, including current releases, with limited support for Excel 2002 and 2003.

The website combines the free download with detailed, step-by-step tutorials covering topics from descriptive statistics, probability, hypothesis testing, distributions, ANOVA, correlation, and regression to multivariate methods, time series, survival analysis, Bayesian statistics, and handling missing data. It also provides statistical function information, data analysis guidance, videos, and downloadable example workbooks that illustrate concepts and procedures. Visitors can explore the tutorials with or without the add-in, using Excel’s standard tools as well as Real Statistics features. A community comments section supports questions, suggestions, and feedback.
