Data analysis: Detection and removal of outliers
- Btw, I'm running Win2k, Excel 2002 SP3.

I would like a script for detection of €¯outliers€¯ during data anaylsis and
removal as a second step.
I have a range of cells containing €¯control€¯ values and specific cells
containing the €¯outlier€¯ limit values (high/low, e.g. +/- 2 SD from average).
i.e. the range that valid data should be within.
I would like to run a script that checks if any of the €¯control€¯ values are
outliers and then deletes them.
Deletion of outliers should be limited to e.g. 2 values.
The script should only run once.
I can not use €¯conditional formatting€¯ since the €¯outlier€¯ limit values
change when deleting values, the formatting will follow and possible create
new outliers.
I hope my description is good enough.
Anybody with input to something like this?
