destination application.

The parameters are listed as they were measured in descending order with the final parameter at
the bottom of the list. This basic format means that data from several replicate experiments can
be pasted next to earlier data in the same spreadsheet. With replicate data pasted in a row across
the spreadsheet calculation of mean and standard errors becomes a simple matter of typing the
appropriate formulae and high-lighting the range of replicate data to be included. Once analysis of
the top row has been completed calculations for all susequent rows can be made automatically
using the Fill Down command (Figure 2-21).
