Start the process by bringing up historical data in an Excel spreadsheet, with dates in the far left column and column headers across the top. Select any cell in the range, then click on the CB Predictor icon on the Excel button bar. The program launches as a wizard that guides the user in the 10-step analysis process. The user simply selects check-box items or pushes command buttons, following simple text instructions on the window. The most likely choices are often preselected as defaults.
Additional help is readily available by clicking an online help button on the wizard window.
The online help is clear and complete, and the written documentation provides a useful and thorough introduction, including several practical examples as tutorials. When you load the software, the manufacturer recommends setting the add-in manager to automatically open CB Predictor whenever Excel is launched. I recommend launching the product only for the sessions you plan to use it, especially if you have a slower machine. When I brought up the online-help screen, I received an error message that there was a missing DLL file. Despite this, the program let me view and navigate the help window.
