Updating Excel and installing XLSTAT
It is also recommended that you make sure that your Excel version is up to date. Microsoft publishes free patches on a regular basis that improve the reliability and stability of the software. To upgrade your Excel version, go to: http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate or follow the following tutorial.
To install XLSTAT, you should use an account that has administrator rights on the machine. If there are several accounts on the machine, the administrator should install XLSTAT using the "Custom" option and run XLSTAT once from his account to enter the license key. Further information about the installation can be obtained on this tutorial.
Running XLSTAT
To run XLSTAT for the first time, you can either choose the option to start XLSTAT after the installation procedure, use the Windows Start / Programs / Addinsoft / XLSTAT command, use the XLSTAT shortcut on your desktop, or launch Excel, then open the XLSTAT.xla file using the Excel open command.
XLSTAT will then prompt you for your license number (see below). If you do not have one yet (if, for instance, you have only downloaded the trial version of XLSTAT), please enter "Evaluation" and click OK.

If you are using XLSTAT for the first time, XLSTAT will add a new button
in the Excel Add-ins tab. This button can later be used to open or close XLSTAT from Excel.
After you start XLSTAT, the XLSTAT toolbars and the XLSTAT menu will be added to the Add-ins tab (see image below). The XLSTAT tab is also added.

The XLSTAT toolbars and the XLSTAT tab can be used to access the XLSTAT functions. By clicking on an item of the menu, you activate the dialog box corresponding to the selected function.
