Abstract:

This is an introduction to and description of use of a spreadsheet to analyze a two-way slab on a microcomputer. The spreadsheet used is Lotus 1-2-3, but the ideas generally apply to many or most commercially available spreadsheet software packages. The authors say analysis by spreadsheet is considerably faster than conventional analysis.
