The goal of this technical article is to present researchers with a tutorial on how to conduct both nonlinear regression and area under the curve (AUC) estimations using Microsoft Office Excel 2010 and Excel for Mac 2011 (hereafter referred to simply as Excel) to analyze delay-discounting data.
As you enter data into cells in your Excel worksheet, you may notice that your rows change height - which can lead to a sloppy presentation if you're sharing the data. Likewise, you may want to adjust your column widths to make them more consistent. There's a quick way to do this. Simply select and right click the row (or column) and choose Row Height (or Column Width): You'll see a dialog box like one of these: Copy the value to your clipboard and then select any rows (or columns) you want to change to match. If you select more than one and they are the same, you'll see the value.
If they are different, the field will be blank. Just type or paste the number, hit Enter, and you're done.
When you are working with a large spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel, it's easy to find yourself scrolling down or across and losing track of where you are. This lesson explains how to freeze rows and columns (officially known as 'Freeze Panes') in Excel 2010 for Windows and Excel 2011 for Mac.
Why you might need to freeze rows or columns in your spreadsheet. Imagine you have a spreadsheet that contains sales data for January. We welcome your comments and questions about this lesson.

I have an Excel spreadsheet that does this to me as well. Not sure if it's a Mac thing, but it's an old Excel for Windows spreadsheet that I transferred to the Mac. Oddly, I don't have that problem if I create a new table in the Mac version. Three ways to do what you want:.
Enable Autofilter for the table, and then use the Sort option within the Autofilter dropdown on the column you want to sort. Do an Custom Sort and specify that ' My list has headers'. Convert the data to an Excel Table. Click inside the data (make sure Autofilter is off), click the Tables ribbon option, then click the New table button (the first button on the Tables ribbon). This will convert it to a Table and sorting should respect the headers. I hope that helps!
