Hello,
My real stats analysis tool pack is downloaded onto my Mac Excel and shows in my Analysis Tools but when I try to see if I can access it in “Add-ins” it does not show up.
Could you please let me know what I can do ?
Thank you
Hello Dania,
To access the Real Statistics analysis tools, you need to use the key sequence Ctrl-m since there is no way to access these tools from the Add-ins ribbon. This approach is only supported in the Windows version of the software.

By ‘’’This approach..’’’ I understand that you do explicitly mean ‘”to access these tools from the Add-ins ribbon.’’’ and use Mac users just need to use the Ctrl-m step. THANKS for this package so I can do frequency weighted statistics for wind / gust speed data!
John
Yes, John, that is correct.
