Microsoft Excel software lets you create spreadsheets for your business or personal records. Excel has an internal programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). You use this language to create interactive programs with your spreadsheets, including dialog pop-up boxes. Pop-up boxes are used to send alerts to you or to display information after you save or create new data in the spreadsheet.
Step 1
Think-cell regularly checks online to see if a new release is available, and if so, attempts to download and install the updated installation file. The automatic download is subject to the following conditions: The check for a new release is performed once when PowerPoint or Excel is started with think-cell installed and enabled.
Double-click your Excel spreadsheet to open it on your desktop and load the Excel software at the same time. In the Visual Basic Editor ribbon, click 'Insert.' Select 'UserForm.'
Step 2
Double-click the new form created on the Excel spreadsheet. This opens the code view where you program the dialog box interaction and text.
Step 3
Type the following code into the opened code viewer: Userform1.Text = 'Alert for the User' Replace 'Alert for the User' with your own text you want to display on the spreadsheet.
Step 4
Write the code to open the dialog box. After the text is defined for the pop-up, you must show the window to the user. Enter the following code to complete the pop-up setup: UserForm1.Show
Click the 'Save' button to save your settings. In the Visual Basic Editor ribbon, click 'Run' to test your new code.

In Microsoft Excel, install the Analysis ToolPak add-in to gain access to a large collection of menu to make them accessible. Click “File,” “Options” and “Add-Ins,” then select “Excel Add-Ins” from the Manage menu and click “Go.” In the Add-Ins menu, choose “Analysis ToolPak” and click “OK.” A new Analysis section is added to the Data tab, and when you click Data Analysis, it opens a menu containing several statistical tests. The first test in the menu, ANOVA Single Factor, performs a one-way ANOVA test on two or more sample sets.
Set Up a One-Way ANOVA Function
Choose “ANOVA Single Factor” from the 'Data Analysis' menu and click “OK.” The resulting pop-up window displays several options in Input and Output sections; click the button next to Input Range to activate the column selection tool, then left-click and drag the cursor over the columns containing the sample sets to compare. Include the column names in the selection and then enable “Labels in First Row” to add these labels to the resulting ANOVA table. Do the same procedure for Output Range, selecting a range of cells in which to place the ANOVA table. When you click “OK,” Excel runs the ANOVA test and displays the sum of squares, degrees of freedom, mean square, F value, P value and F Critical in the chosen output columns. An F value lower than F Critical indicates that all sample sets have the same probability distribution, while an F value higher than F Critical indicates a statistically significant difference.
