Hi everyone, The following is (probably) only for Windows users.
I've recently encountered a "problem" at two workshops I co-taught at - most recent version(s) of Excel puts all variables (and data) in a single column, separated by commas (i.e. not splitting on commas). Some participants fixed this manually with Data -> Text to columns. There is a way to fix this in Excel's options: File > Options > Advanced. Un-check the "Use System Separators" within the Editing Options and change the Decimal separator with "." and the Thousands Separator ",". It might be worth adding this as a footnote in the lesson?
