I am trying to define data sets to analyze using the Excel Data Analysis Tool
add-in. I seem to be able to only highlight data sets in one worksheet. Is
there a way to analyze data over multiple worksheets in the same workbook?
Thanks!!

Hello:

When you open the statistical tool you want to use simply click on the
box that is beside the input box for the variable (a new input box appears)
once that is done just click on the sheet tab you want to go to and
highlight the cells. Do the same for any other inputs. In fact if
you want you can go to the Window menu and switch to a different
workbook (just click on the workbook name) and get data from it.

I tried both histograms and regression and both work fine.

Thanks for your reply; however, I am having problems following your
instructions--it may be that the version I'm using, Excel vX:Mac, is
different. The button next to the input box hides or unhides the rest of the
options, but doesn't give me any additional input boxes.

Thanks!

Yea, sorry I assumed you were on a PC. I don't have a MAC that I can
look at, but I would almost bet there is a way. You could try
to type the full address into the box and it should work also.

The form is: SheetName!Addr:addr

example: Sheet2!$E$12:$E$16

For the example the SheetName is Sheet2 and the address
is from E12 to E16. Note the ! must be there, the $ do not
although in using the mouse selection process they are
normally added.

You can also post to the mac group to see if someone there
can be more helpful.
