JohnM TS Contributor Feb 9, 2006 #2 Feb 9, 2006 #2 The most commonly used package in biomedical research is SAS, followed by SPSS.

JohnM TS Contributor Feb 9, 2006 #4 Feb 9, 2006 #4 Not really. Excel is only equipped to do basic stuff, unless you're good at writing macros (VBA programs). I think you're going to need to get SPSS running again.

JohnM TS Contributor Feb 13, 2006 #6 Feb 13, 2006 #6 Minitab is great - but your original question was about packages used in medical research - I know SAS and SPSS are the most commonly used in that field. Minitab is a great package, but I don't think it's used as widely in the biomedical field.
