The spreadsheet page lets you create a spreadsheet for your model that you can download and run in Excel on your desktop.
Note that the generated spreadsheet uses RiskAMP add-in functions for Monte Carlo simulation. If you don’t have the add-in you can download a trial version from our website.
You can also work with the spreadsheet in your web browser. It works just like a desktop spreadsheet. Some functions may be missing — if there’s something missing that you need, please just let us know.
You can run a simulation in the online spreadsheet using the Run simulation
button on the right-hand side of the spreadsheet. This will use the same
number of trials as the web model.
Even though the spreadsheet and the web model use the same number of trials, they use different random number generators. So statistics from the two models will be slightly different.
The spreadsheet model is generated automatically when you switch to the tab. However, if you make changes to the spreadsheet — adding or changing formulas in cells, for example — we won’t update the spreadsheet.
This is just in case you make changes you want to save.
You can always rebuild the model by clicking the Rebuild model
button at
the top-right.
If the Rebuild model
button is highlighted, that means the spreadsheet
model and the web model are out of sync. Save your spreadsheet, if necessary,
and then click the button to update the spreadsheet model.
