Obtaining Summary Statistics and Plots by Treatment Groups in EXCEL

Data Format Data are in a Block of (n+1) rows and (f+m) columns where: –Variable labels are in row 1 –Data on n units are in rows 2:n+1 –f Columns of factor levels (one column per factor) –m Columns of response measurements (one column for each response variable) For this presentation, we will assume –n=24 –f = 2 (With Factor A at 2 Levels, B at 3 Levels) –m = 2 Response Variables (X, Y)

Data Layout Row 1 Row 25 Data in Columns A-D Highlight the data, then click: Insert Name Define type in a name (e.g. expdat) OK

Obtaining Summaries for 1 Factor (I) Go to cells outside the range of the data (different columns) Type in the Factor label in as many cells in a row as there are levels In the cells below them, enter the factor levels Example: Factor B has 3 levels Column GColumn H Column I Row 1 Row 2

Obtaining Summaries for 1 Factor (II) Column F, Row 1 For Summaries of X, In cell G3, Type: =DCOUNT(expdat,”X”,G1:G2) Copy/Paste G3 to Cells H3,I3 Repeat for the following cells/commands: G4: =DAVERAGE(expdat,”X”,G1:G2) G5: =DVAR (expdat,”X”,G1:G2) G6: =DSTDEV (expdat,”X”,G1:G2) G7: =DMIN (expdat,”X”,G1:G2) G8: =DMAX (expdat,”X”,G1:G2) The first element in each command is the database (could have entered $A$1:$D$25 instead), the second element is the variable to be analyzed, the third is the criteria (e.g. Factor B at Level 1)

Obtaining Summaries for 1 Factor (III)

Obtaining Summaries for Combinations of Levels of 2 Factors (I) List the 2 Factor names in 2 side-by-side cells Below them enter their factor levels (There will be ab pairs of cells Row 11 Row 12 Column G H I J K L M N O P Q R

Obtaining Summaries for Combinations of Levels of 2 Factors (II) Similar to process for levels of one factor, except criteria are in pairs of columns. Put Results in (say) the righthand of the 2 columns In cell H13, type: =DCOUNT(expdat,”X”,G11:H12) Copy and Paste cells G13:H13 to cells I13:R13 Repeat Process for mean, variance, etc

Obtaining Summaries for Combinations of Levels of 2 Factors (II) To obtain a “factor effect/interaction” plot: List the factor levels of the factor with most levels in a column In successive columns give the means for the combinations of that factor’s level and the various levels of the other factor
