i don't know the answer to this but ... i have a general question with regards to using spreadsheets for stat analysis
why? ... why do we not help our students and encourage our students to use tools designed for a task ... rather than substituting something that may just barely get us by? we don't ask stat packages to do what spreadsheets were designed to do ... why the reverse? just because packages like excel are popular and readily available ... does not therefore mean that we should be recommending it (or them) to people for statistical analysis it's like telling people that notepad will be sufficient to do all your word processing needs ...
