Abstract.
This work describes, through examples, a simple way to carry out experimental design calculations applying spreadsheets. The aim of this tutorial is to introduce an alternative to sophisticated commercial programs that normally are too comples in data input and output. An overview of the principal methods is also briefly presented. The spreadsheets are suitable to handle different types of computations such as screening procedures applying factorial design and the optimization procedure based on response surface methodology. Futhermore, the spreadsheets are sufficiently versatil to be adapted to specific experimental design.
