MINITAB OVERVIEW
AGENDA:
Why do I need Minitab?
Data Entry & Manipulation
Minitab Tutorials
Multi-Vari Charts
Graphing
Box & Whisker Plots
Scatter Plots
Histograms
Bar Charts
Simple Linear Regression
Control Charting
T-tests/F-tests/ANOVA Analyses
Weibull (time to failure) Plots
 WHY DO I NEED MINITAB?:
Minitab: Excel:
Easier / Faster Easier Data Entry
Graphing No pre-set data
Graphs & Data formatting required for
Analysis in 1-Step analysis
Report Writing tool Need multiple tools &
within Minitab Steps for Data
Requires Stacked Analysis & Graphs
Data for most Tools
Minitab & Excel:
Multiple Windows/Worksheets within one main file.

Data Analysis Capability

DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION:
Window Types: Session Window & Data Window

Session Window:
The Output

Data Window:
A Worksheet, not an Excel Spreadsheet
Column names are above first row
Everything in a column is considered to
be from the same group
 DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION:
Enter Data into Minitab by:
Typing it in
Cutting & pasting from other programs
Random number generators in Minitab
Importing it: Excel, Text, ASCII, Dbase files, etc.

Column Name
Column Headers
T = Text / D = Date

DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION
Minitab Operating Files
Minitab has training files in its data
subdirectory
To find them go to:
C:/Program Files/ MINITAB 14/

English/Sample Data
Minitab File Extensions

MPJ for Project Files

Ex: Data.mpj
MTW For Data Files (Worksheets only)
Ex: Data.mtw
MFG For Graphs (Graphs only)
Ex: Pareto1.mgf
DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION:
SHORT CUT KEYS
Control C / Control V
Copies data / Pastes data
Alt Tab

Moves you from one Windows application to another

Ex:
Minitab to PowerPoint for making presentations

Excel to Minitab for copying data

Control E

Pulls up previous menu

Control Tab

Moves you from Data, Session, History, and Info

Windows
DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION:
COMMON PITFALLS
Numeric / Text / Date Data In Columns
Once a column has been defined with data it will need
to be changed if you want to use a different type of data
Data > Change Data Type
Dollar signs, number signs, and commas are treated as
text data
Grey Menu Screens and Commands
You may be in the wrong Minitab Window
You may not have finished entering data (Hit the enter
key)
Minitab Moving Slowly
Not enough computer memory
Close some graphs, other applications or upgrade your
computer.
DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION:
COMMON PITFALLS
Minitab Worksheets do not function the same as
Excel spreadsheets
Graphs may or may not automatically update when
worksheet data is changed. By right clicking over a
graph, you can Update Graph Automatically to refresh
the graph to the changes you made in the worksheet
from which it was created.
Calculated fields within a Minitab worksheet do not
automatically update when changes are made unless
youve set the field with a formula
Note: Minitab does not recognize imbedded formulas
imported from other applications
Use caution when closing worksheet or graph windows
as they may be removed without warning
Use Tools > Options to reset these options
MINITAB TUTORIALS
Opening the Tutorial Files
Click Help> Tutorials

Open a Session
Click the plus sign next to Session #
MINITAB TUTORIALS
Start by clicking on the Overview and continue to follow step by
step. Minitab will provide you with the already available files so
you can do the analysis along with Minitab.
MINITAB HELP
Opening the Help Files
On any tool, you can Click the
Help button
DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION EXAMPLE
Most Minitab tools require STACKED DATA
Unstacked Data needs to be changed
into Stacked Data
Lets look at some of the Graphs and
Tools that are Available in Minitab.
