Confirmed. New feature so I think it deserves some love on the 4.2 mab list This is actually how it is meant to be - for output you select only the first cell as the actual output range depends on the sampling parameters (random: first cell + sample size, periodic: first cell + input size / period). The same is also true for every other statistics function. This is not ideal - suggestions how to improve this are welcome. I thought the same but then when output can be over a range. I think either a) don't allow someone to select a range for output b) allow selecting a range and show this range in the dialog Having a person be able to highlight a range but then one value appears seems confusing Well in solver you also have "target cell" where you also can select a range but only the first one is the target. Similar in "Multiple Operations" - Row input cell, Column input cell. Looks like you can't just select one cell - at least not with this input box. I will take a look if I can change this. Add repro status to whiteboard IMO this is not a bug. As Tomaz said it's working as expected. Since the size of the output range is fixed, and the user cannot specify as it depends on the characteristics of the input parameters, I don't see a point of allowing the user to select a range. The one thing I might suggest changing the wording from "Output Range" to something else that does not give the user an impression that he/she can select a range. Something like "Output Position", "Result to", "Result" etc may flow better? Pivot table, which also outputs a "range" uses "Result to" wording. (In reply to comment #6) > IMO this is not a bug.

Thanks Kohei for your input, I think using the same terminology than for Pivot table is good: Result to - And Tomaz thanks for your great work :) - Sophie Kohei Yoshida committed a patch related to this issue.

I changed all the "Output Range" labels used in the new statistical analysis dialogs to "Results to". I call it fixed. |
