[NABS-L] Seeking Help with excel data analysis tools

Hello Lewis,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried reaching out to Dr. Denise Robinson via email. So hopefully I receive a response.

I have also sent out an email on the math and computer email lists to see if I can receive any other suggestions.

I received one response focusing on creating the histogram, but not about using the data analysis tools with a screen reader. There are more assignments we need to complete using the Excel data analysis tools. 

The only other suggestion I received was to use Aira with TeamViewer. However, I do not have the money for this solution. And I am not quite sure how this would be different than using a human reader.

I had no idea this statistics class would still be so inaccessible despite all my hard work trying to find ways to acomidate for it. It is so frustrating that once I figure out how to accommodate for one aspect of the class that there is just another hurdle waiting for me to solve.

If anyone else has any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hello Louis,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my message. I have already looked through this information, and I have not found anything that helped me. 

Although this individual has produced a video on creating a histogram, it is done through the charts option located under the insert menu and not the data analysis tools located under the data menu. 

I tried following the steps outlined in the video, but for some reason they simply did not work for me.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Subject: [NABS-L] Seeking Help with excel data analysis tools

Hello All,

I am Wondering if anyone on the list has any experience using the excel data analysis tools for statistics classes.
I am using Windows 10 and I have tried both JAWS 2019 and NVDA with Office 2016 to create a histogram. I follow the steps outlined to create a histogram. And nothing ever seems to happen.

So I am wondering a couple of things. First, am I somehow doing something wrong? I do not believe so as I am following the steps to create a histogram. But user error is always an option.

Second, is there a way to indepentently create graphs and charts in the excel data analysis toolssuch as histograms and regression lines as a blind student? Or is it best to complete these types of graphs and charts in the excel data analysis tools with sighted assistance? I prefer to find a way to do this independently. However, the amount of time I have spent trying to figure this out is simply not sustainable for the rest of the semester.

I thought taking a statistics class using excel would be easier and more practicle than taking a statistics class with SPSS. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to use the excel data analysis tools to complete the excel project assignments for my class. I am tired and frustrated. So any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
