What makes SPC for MS Excel such a valuable tool for the novice or expert in SPC?

  1. Easy to use.  
    bulletView video of how to make and update a c control chart.
    bulletView video of a process capability analysis.
  2. Easily update existing charts. Simply enter the new data on the spreadsheet and, in two clicks, the chart is updated. Plus, you have the option update all charts in the workbook at the same time.  View video (same as c control chart in 1 above).
  3. Change (split) control limits multiple times within the same chart by selecting the point and, in two clicks, the chart is updated with split limits. View Video
  4. Start the control chart at a new point on the chart by selecting the point and, in two clicks, the chart starts at a new point. View Video (same as 3)
  5. Delete (and add back) a point from the calculations but keep the point on the chart.  View video
  6. Add or delete a comment to a point on the control chart. View video (same as 5)
  7. Delete (or add back) all points beyond the control limits but keep the points on the chart.  View video (same as 5)
  8. Add, delete, or change a target line to the chart (for example, the nominal) to see how close the average is to the target.  View video
  9. Regression analysis to determine which independent variables (the Xs) statistically impact the dependent variable; plus an easy method to remove unwanted variables.  View Video
 

And much, much more as described below.
