Data Tables – part 1

Here’s a really useful tool for generating various results based upon multiple inputs. It’s a quick way of seeing what happens to results when you vary the input. I usually try each input manually, but I really should set up these data tables to see the results.

I’m attaching a PowerPoint that shows in a very simple manner how to do data tables. I have posted this PowerPoint or rather PDF elsewhere so I thought I would share it here also.

The PowerPoint slide is kind of done in a story form so hopefully it is more interesting that way.

By the way, I have done some posts in the past regarding data tables. In those posts I had some files showing on the page but WordPress has changed their foundations so the little programming that showed the Excel files no longer work. Or maybe it was Microsoft that changed things – that’s another possibility. Anyway, I will need to work on fixing those files.

Here are the links to the old posts in case you’re curious:

Yeah, those posts were quite a while ago.
