Profiling Models Stored in Excel
Profiling Models Stored in Excel
The JMP Add-In for Excel uses the JMP Profiler to visualize models (or formulas) stored in Excel
worksheets. The Excel add-in is automatically installed when you install JMP. Profiling in the Excel Add-In
is a two-step process:
1. Click the Create/Edit Model button (Excel 2007 and 2010) or the Profiler Configuration button
(Excel 2003) to enter information about the model that JMP needs. This needs to be done only once per
model. For more information, refer to the help in the Create/Edit Model window.
2. Click the Run Model button (Excel 2007 and 2010) or the Run Profiler button (Excel 2003) to launch
the JMP Profiler and run the Excel model. For more information, see “Running the JMP Profiler” on
page 622.
Note: The Preferences, Data Table, Graph Builder, and Distribution buttons are not needed to profile an
Excel model. For more information about these features, see Using JMP.
Running the JMP Profiler
Once you create the model using the Excel Add-In, you can run it in the JMP Profiler. From the Excel
Add-In, perform the following actions:
1. Click the Run Model button (Excel 2007 and 2010) or the Run Profiler button (Excel 2003).
2. Select the model that you want to run.
3. Click Profile in JMP.
Note: To ensure that your original Excel spreadsheet is not altered, JMP runs a hidden copy of Excel in the
background that controls all of the Profiler calculations.
Example of an Excel Model
An Excel model is one or more Excel formulas. Each formula must be a function of one or more other cells.
This example uses the Demand.xls file, located within the Import Data folder (normally found at
C:\Program Files\SAS\JMP\10\Samples\Data).
