The document provides instructions for various Excel functions including creating graphs with multiple y-axes, adding error bars, installing add-ins, using conditional formatting, and automating tasks with macros. Steps are outlined for setting a secondary axis on a graph, installing and using various add-ins to enable pattern fills and save dBase files, adding the developer tab to record and run macros, and applying conditional formatting based on residual values from an ANOVA analysis to highlight data points on a color scale.

2. Multiple Y Axis Graph (1)
 First create a graph using your data and select the type
you like. in our case it was a 2 line graph.
 Then right click on the smaller graph, and select the
“Format Data Series…”
 Then we get a popup window for the series options
with the ability to change the series axis.
 We select the Secondary axis option.

10. SAVEDBF Add-In (1)
 Microsoft has decided NOT to support dBase files in
Excel 2007. Excel 2007 still reads/opens DBF files;
however it will not save them as DBF.
 This add-in that helps convert and/or save a native
DBF file that was edited with Excel 2007. It does not
require MS-Access 2007 to be installed.
 You will get new Ribbon titled “SAVEDBF” once you
install this add-in, saved DBF button is there.

12. Pattern Fill Add-In (1)
 In Excel 2007 the chart feature of using pattern fills
was deprecated (returned back in Excel 2010!).
 For backward compatibility the functionality was
included in the new charting engine. Only the
interface to it was excluded.
 This add-in provides the UI in order to use that
functionality.

14. Pattern Fill Add-In (3)
 The dialog allows you to select Foreground and
Background colors. You can also select from the
predefined patterns.
 When completed the chosen pattern and colors are
applied to the select chart element, if applicable.
 Due to the fact that using VBA destroys the undo stack
you will not be able to use undo to restore any changes
made using the add-in.

15. Automate Task with Macros (1)
 Adding the Developer Tab:
1. Click on the Office button to open the drop down menu.
2. Click on the Excel Options button located at the bottom
of the menu to open the Excel Options dialog box.
3. Click on the Popular option at the top of the left hand
window of the open dialog box.
4. Click on the Show Developer Tab in the ribbon in the
right hand window of the open dialog box.

17. Automate Task with Macros (3)
 The easiest way to create a macro in Excel is to use the
macro recorder. To do so: Click on the Developers tab,
then click on Record Macro in the ribbon to open the
Record Macro dialog box.
 Clicking the OK button in the Record Macro dialog
box starts recording the macro you have just
identified.
 The macro recorder works by recording all keystrokes
and clicks of the mouse.

19. Automate Task with Macros (5)
 If you simply recorded the macro, Excel would hard-
code that you wanted to always move A to B. This
works fine for one record, but you need the macro to
work for all records. Turn on Relative Recording by
clicking the Relative Recording button. It is a toggle, so
you want it to look like it is pressed in.
 Click the Macros button on the Developer ribbon to
bring up the View Macro dialog box, select your macro
name then click the Run button, or simply type macro
short cut (i.e. Ctrl+a) to run the macro once.

21. Conditional Formatting (1)
 Once you analyse your data using ANOVA procedure,
you can get residual value related to each data record.
 You can save those values in Excel spreadsheet in 2D
format to represent field layout.
 Highlight residual values and go to the “Conditional
Formatting” list, the “Color Scales” item (you can
select green - yellow - red color scale option)
