i was reading a paper about how Excel gets some standard statistical tests wrong too - the US Stats Association i think did a compare/contrast with a range of packages. some of these bugs have been there since 2002 or so. i lived in Excel for many years but wasn't a power user - i got to like it but sadly, it got used for everything even when it really, really shouldn't have.

I read an article on that, but it was clearly mentioned that this was an issue with older versions of excel (excel 03 07? iirc).

  this link seems quality and you're right - seems like the excel team took it seriously in... 2010. that's still pretty bad! http://www.practicalstats.com/xlsstats/excelstats.html http://www.practicalstats.com/xlsstats/excelstats.html
