Abstract

In the past decade, the combination of readily accessible, reliable data in electronic form with well-tested spreadsheet programs has changed the approach to experiment planning and computation of results. This has led to a flowering of software applications based on spreadsheets, mostly written by scientists, not by professional programmers trained in numerical methods. Formal quality systems increasingly call for verified computational methods and reference data as part of the analytical process, a demand that is difficult to meet with most spreadsheets. Examples are given of utilities used in our laboratory, with suggestions for verification and quality maintenance.
