Excel Aided Engineering and Science Manual

Manual Examples

The first half of the manual covers fundamental Excel topics like worksheet operation, cell data entry, worksheet formatting, formulas, worksheet functions, and cell naming. It also covers essential data topics like worksheet table design, Excel tables, charts, sorting and filtering data, PivotTables, and linking Excel with other programs like Word and PowerPoint. Other must know Excel topics covered include external data integration using Power Query and MS Query, designing reports that adapt to changing data, integrating design teams, creating advanced array formulas, performing design optimization using Solver, system modeling, and creating industrial grade dashboards. Our Excel discussion also covers solving numerical techniques on the worksheet including linear systems, Runge Kutta, Newton's method, integration, differentiation, and boundary value problems.

The second half of the manual includes everything we know about using Excel VBA in engineering and science. It covers the fundamentals to the most advanced Excel VBA topics we have encountered. It will show you how to automate things like models, analysis problems, charts, data processing, and database tools. The topics are so broad, we refer you to the topics listed directly below.
