Excel Statistics

[Marraco]

Well, I just need some Excel statistic functions, and does not want to call Excel, so I looked on .NET support, and find NOTHING!.

So, I are ranting here:

... and whining here:

Rant away

As to your problem, might I suggest, OH I don't know, writing a program.

This might help.

Ok, so, I need to code an accumulated gamma function, check it works equally than Excel Function, lost time, debugging, post the code and being mocked by nasty boys.

Thanks Billy Gates. You are so nice.

VB (C#,C++,Pascal,Fortran,Algol,PL/1, etc) are all general purpose programming languages. It would NOT be appropriate for a full statistical package to be included.

Third parts libraries are available for all of the languages listed above.

The ONLY language I have worked with in the last 35 years that inherently included a full statistical package was APL.

APL is still available, and there APL.Net implementations also.

Remember a large part of the "true power" of .Net is the ability to mix high level languages into a single application.

So you want to use an Excel function, but not call Excel and you complain that it is Microsoft's fault/problem??......


I'd say you should take the advice of sotoasty and make a program .... or I don't know - use Excel.

Blaming Microsoft or Excel will not get you far
You cannot use Excel capabilities without Referencing it. Sooner or later, you will need to set a reference to the appropriate Excel Library ( if you want to check if your app and Excel get to the same conclusion )

I suggest that you learn some math. Any statistical function that exists in Excel was not 'invented' by Microsoft (for the most part, anyways)

Talk to a mathematician, and have him give you a formula that you can use in another language.
