As a new user of Mathematica and as a purchaser of the Home Edition, which does not include any support, I am trying to figure out how to take data from an Excel spreadsheet into Mathematica to analyze and graph. I have taken a couple of free seminars on line, but I have not been able to figure out how to do just a few basic statistical things. Each column in my spreadsheet is a variable. In order to produce a histogram of one of those variables, I had to open the spreadsheet in Excel, copy the column, then paste it into the curly braces inside the Histogram function, then eliminate the carriage returns manually while inserting commas manually in order to produce the Histogram. Surely there must be a faster way. In the first place, I cannot tell where to place the Excel file so that Mathematica knows where it is. Anything you could do to get me started would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Len Horton Atlanta
