Does anyone know if there is a capability to export Minitab data into Excel ?

I do believe there is a way to import.

Thanx,

You can export data to a text file, then import that into Excel.

It would probably be easier to copy the data from Minitab and paste the data into Excel.

It has been a long time since I used Minitab, but I do believe that you can copy and paste charts into Excel as well as data.

Welcome to the Cove.

You can certainly save a worksheet to Excel format by going to "file" "save worksheet as" then select Excel. You are given the option of saving the worksheet to a different directory which could be an Excel directory.

You also have the option of saving "special text" (also under the "file" menu.

I'm not sure this answers your question but if not, fire away.

Folks,

Thanx for the quick response. I am learning in these forums to be clear and concise.

I guess what I am really after is the "appending" of a line item(s) in Minitab to a line in an existing Excel file (possibly vica-verse).

Since Excel is the tool on every computer in our org., I want to tabulate and manipulate control charts in Minitab and have their line item additions appended to a specific Excel file with it's own control chart.

Eventually, I would like to automate as much of that process as I can, but the first step is to export a line item, or groups of lines from Minitab to/from Excel (hoping there is a cleaner way than me cutting-pasting every entry).

Thanx.

Does minitab allow you to save data in a XML format? If so you could probably do it programatically. Also if minitab lets you use VBScript or VB you could use that to do what you want.
