STRATEGY Spreadsheet Form

The main spreadsheet form in STRATEGY for Windows is your interactive connection to the XY List. Use it to input a new design, add responses, add or delete columns or rows, or change entries.

Enter a numeric value in each cell. If a response value is missing, enter a period (decimal point) in that cell. There must not not be any missing values in any factor columns. Press the TAB key or the Enter key to move to the next cell. Note that you can change the action of the enter key by pressing Ctrl-K.

Validate Button

If you click the Validate Button, STRATEGY for Windows will check the spreadsheet to make sure that it is complete enough so that it will not cause the regression to bomb. This is highly recommended but do not press this button until you have entered all of your data.

Save Button

The Save Button saves the current file. If the file has not been saved before, you will be offered a common dialog box to name the file. It is not necessary to type in the extension. If you want to save the file under another name, us the Save As command from the File Menu.

Close Button

The Close Button closes this form WITHOUT saving your changes. You must save your design file before closing this form.
