The Excel Data Analysis toolpak should be enabled by default on every lab computer and computer available for checkout from the library. However, someone may have gone through and disabled the Toolpak for whatever reason, or the machine may have been overlooked by the computer tech staff (accidents happen; we're only human). If someone has gone through and manually disabled the Toolpak, you can follow the instructions below to re-enable it, or you can restart the machine you're working on. Restarting a computer in the computer labs, an email station, or one of the computers available for checkout from the library will restore that computer's default settings (which includes having the Data Analysis Toolpake enabled).
