XLSTAT

Although Microsoft Excel is very popular amongst the spectrum of users, it doesn't necessarily cut it as an adequate statistical tool. While Excel is a significant statistical tool for analyzing data, the software is restricted when it comes to more extensive data sets. Paris-based firm XLSTAT came into the picture to change all that. The firm provides several Excel add-in features to expand its analytical capabilities. During its journey of over two decades, XLSTAT has continuously scaled in the market and emerged as one of most widely used statistical software packages in the world.
