Chapter 1 Getting Started with Excel 33The Input sheet allows you to specify the default method used for ref-
erencing the data in your workbook. The two options are (1) using range
names and (2) using range references. You’ll learn about range names and
range references in Chapter 2.
The Output sheet allows you to specify the default format for your output.
You can choose between creating dynamic and static output. Dynamic out-
put uses custom formulas which you’ll have to adjust if you want to move
your workbook to a new computer. Static output only displays the output
values and does not update if the input data are changed. You can also
choose the default location for your output, from among (1) a cell on the cur-
rent worksheet, (2) a new worksheet in the current workbook, or (3) a new
workbook.
The Charts sheet allows you to specify the default format for chart output.
You can choose between creating charts as embedded objects in worksheets
or as separate chart sheets. This will be discussed in Chapter 3.
The Hidden Data sheet allows you to specify whether to hide worksheets
used for the background calculations involved in creating charts and statistical
calculations.
All of the options specifi ed in the StatPlus Options dialog box are default
