Introduction

AlphadiTab allows you to perform various analyses. These include diagrams and other tools such as process capability analyses, measurement system analyses, regression analyses, and hypothesis tests.

Various worksheet templates are also available for you to create and fill out.

AlphadiTab is based on table-based work and has a column-oriented structure. All data, worksheet templates, and statistical analyses are performed in spreadsheets.

Worksheet templates

Examples of worksheet templates are VOB and FMEA. With these functions, the program automatically creates a new worksheet with predefined content, which can then be filled in.

Example: Creating a VOB table

Step 1: Go to the “Define Phase” tab.

Step 2: Click on the “VOB” button.

The following form opens:

 

Step 3: Click on the “Create Worksheet” button in the form.

A new VOB worksheet with the corresponding tables and predefined content is created automatically. This worksheet can then be filled out and further edited.

Statistical analyses

Data is required in a worksheet for statistical analyses. This data can then be evaluated using the appropriate analysis functions.

Data entry

There are two ways to work with column headers:

Option 1: Rename column header

Procedure:

  • Press F7 to open a window in which you can enter the column header and confirm with “OK.“
  • Alternatively, you can right-click on the column header and select the “Rename column header” option.

 

Option 2: Use row 1 as the header row

Procedure:

  • You can enter the headings in the top row.
  • Important: For this option, the “Title in first worksheet row” option must be activated at the bottom right.

 

My first chart in AlphadiTab

The procedure for creating analyses is the same for both options. It is only important that the option “Title in first spreadsheet row” is activated in option 2.
Option 2 is used for the following instructions.

The starting point should look like this:

 

Creating a bar chart

We will create our first bar chart using the two columns “Car brand” and “Sales frequency car brand.“

The result should look like this:

 

Procedure:

Step 1: Go to the “Measure” tab.

Step 2: Click on the “Bar Chart” button.

 

A new form will open:

 

Step 3: In the newly opened form, select the “Sales frequency by car brand” column under Data.

Step 4: Select the “Car brand” column under Group.

 

Your entry should now look like this:

 

Step 5: Click on “Rebuild.“

 

The result should look like this:

The bars are all the same height because “Count” is still selected under Calculation.

 

Step 6: Change the value in the drop-down menu under Calculation to “Sum.“

 

The bar chart is automatically updated, and you get the following result:

You have now created your first bar chart with AlphadiTab.

 

Keep form

You have the option to save the analysis you have created in the Navigator. If you do this, you can close the form and reopen it later.

Procedure:

Step 1: Click the “Keep” button in the Bar Chart form.

Step 2: In the pop-up window, enter a name, e.g., Bar Chart Sales Frequency Car Brand.

 

 

Step 3: Confirm with “OK.“

Your form has been saved in the Navigator:

You can now close the shape and reopen it by double-clicking on the tile in the Navigator.

Transferring the graphic to PowerPoint

To transfer the created chart to PowerPoint, proceed as follows:

Step 1: Open the shape with the chart.

Step 2: Click on the “Copy” button in the shape. The image is now in the clipboard.

Step 3: Switch to a slide in the PowerPoint presentation and paste the diagram using Ctrl + V.

Save/open project

To save your tables and all analyses stored in the Navigator, you should save your file as a project.

Procedure:

Step 1: Click on the “File” tab.

Step 2: Click on the “Save” button.

Step 3: Select a storage location and enter a file name.

Step 4: Click on “Save.“

The “Save” button is then grayed out because there are no further changes to save. As soon as you make changes, the button becomes clickable again.

Important:

Please make sure to save your project regularly. AlphadiTab does not save projects automatically.

AlphadiTab files are saved with the extension .atb. These can be reopened via the “File” tab and the “Open” button.
