How large a dataset can IPredict handle?

There are no explicit internal limits. All of the limitations of the Microsoft Excel plug-in depend from Microsoft Excel itself (so for example you cannot handle more than 65000 lines just because Microsoft Excel cannot handle more than that).

Which versions of Windows and Excel are supported?

IPredict runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003.
IPredict requires Microsoft Excel 2003 or Microsoft Excel 2007 to be run as a standalone software. Microsoft Excel is not needed if the library is embedded in third party applications.
You need also Microsoft.NET 2.0.

How do I start IPredict?

You don't need to start IPredict, it starts automatically with Microsoft Excel. You will find the IPredict toolbar just in front of you when opening Microsoft Excel after the installation. If you don't see the toolbar is because you don't have Microsoft.NET 2.0 on your machine and this is a prerequisite. You can get Microsoft.NET here.

Where can I learn more about statistics and forecasting?

Well there are a lot of resources where you can read about statistics and forecasting. Maybe it's worth starting from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
Look also at our Support page where you'll find a lot of useful links.

I thought about a new feature that would be useful. Is it possible to add it to IPredict?

Yes! We are always looking for ways to improve IPredict. Please send an email to support with a description of what you're thinking. You'll be the first to see and use the new functionality and get one year of support for free. Of course the functionality must be useful for several customers and interesting for the product!

What should I buy, the wizard or the library?

There is only one product. So the one you buy can be used interactively inside Microsoft Excel or programmatically with your favorite programming tool. One license, two usage modes, one product, one price.

I don't see the toolbar inside Microsoft Excel, how can I fix this?

Sometimes the toolbar does not appear inside Microsoft Excel. There are several causes for this:
The Microsoft Office Primary Interop Assemblies for Excel are not installed in the system.
The Microsoft Excel version is not supported.
The Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework is not installed.

Please read the IPredict Installation Manual for details on how to solve these issues. See also:
