Perhaps, if we statisticians could loosen up our obsessive/compuslive,
anal-retentive natures a little (I have one, too, and it is very common in math
so don't get mad), we might agree that what the programs are giving is "the
minimum value at which significance level could be set and still achiev
As for initial request, Excel MUST HAVE a function to calculate p-value
of the test. The set of statistical functions built into Excel is
comprehensive enough for that; at least it was when I was teaching
statistics with Excel a year or two ago :).
Pretty old books like Kendall & Stuart say s

The program Cupid computes critical values and significance levels
(among other things) for many distributions, including the F, t, r,
and ChiSquare.
It is

Modstat isn't shareware, there is a free two-month trial of the software
available.
Modstat does over 250 statistical tests and routines including finding the
probability level of F values given the two two degrees of freedom that are
involved.

Live is not simple. The term "observed significance level" or "achieved
significance level" is fairly standard in statistics. It's basically
the p-value. For a precise definition, see Efron and Tibshirani,
Introduction to the Bootstrap, p. 203.
The quotation of A. Lincoln merely gives one side in

Of course not. Significance level cannot be computed: it is an
arbitrary choice of the investigator (or the analyst). Commonly set at
0.05, aka 5%,
I am using Excel to perform a linear regression analysis. Excel does not
compute significance level. At best, I have to use computations it makes of F,
etc. and then go to hard copies of F and Student's t distribution tables.
Anyone know of shareware that computes significance level given degree
