You'll get the joke in the minute... and you WILL laugh. (Please)

I need to use my pocket pc to perform one of the most BASIC forms of statistical analysis... Spearman's Rank Correlation.

Why on EARTH isn't Pocket Excel equiped with this?

It's practically no use to me!

No graphs!
No statistical analysis!

What on earth are you supposed to DO with Pocket Excel?*

So I ask the question, is there a free alternative... I say free because I am not prepared to spend more money on something I assumed I have already purchased!

* There's probably one of those flight simulators in it taking up all the room! heh!

M@,

I don't get the joke, but I do FEEL YOUR PAIN. I never miss an opportunity to rant about the uselessness of Pocket Excel (as well as Pocket Word). There are a couple of alternatives, but none that I know of are free.

I hate to be so obvious, but Shawn, M@ is being slightly sarcastic. ;)

Unless you're being very subtle and cleverly acknowledging M@'s humor with a deeper humor of your own 8O

For the benefit of those who didn't get the joke.

Microsoft Excel -> Pocket Excel - Is there any correlation

Works on two levels.
1) Pocket Excel has no formulas to measure correlation (grr)
2) And its saying they're nothing alike, they have no correlation.

Thankyou.
