MINITAB OVERVIEW
AGENDA:
Why do I need Minitab?
Data Entry & Manipulation
Minitab Tutorials
MultiVari Charts
Graphing
Box & Whisker Plots
Scatter Plots
Histograms
Bar Charts
Simple Linear Regression
Control Charting
Ttests/Ftests/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 1Step analysis
Report Writing tool
Need multiple tools &
within Minitab
Steps for Data
Requires Stacked Data
Analysis & Graphs
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….
DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION:
Graph Manager:
Lists all Created Graphs

DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION
Minitab Operating Files
Minitab has training files in it’s 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
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
you’ve 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

DATA ENTRY & MANIPULATION
EXAMPLE
Most Minitab tools require STACKED DATA
• Unstacked Data needs to be changed
into Stacked Data
Let’s look at some of the Graphs and
Tools that are Available in Minitab.
