If you are evaluating an investment proposal,
a new business,
a budget,
a proposal involving financial risk, or a scientific study,
then the Risk Analyzer add-in for Microsoft Excel is
the tool for you. It is compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, Excel 2007, Excel 2010 and Excel 2013.
The Risk Analyzer gives you tables and graphics
that illustrate the risks of the proposal. Word and PowerPoint presentations
using these calculations and graphs show that you have looked at the benefits and risks of your proposal.
The Risk Analyzer is extremely fast
flexible
and completely menu driven for ease of use. The following are the tabs on the main Risk Analyzer dialog:

The Risk Analyzer works by doing Monte Carlo simulations.
Monte Carlo simulation is simply the creation of many "what
if" cases to determine the expected results of a study. You
do not need to know statistics or how to write probability formulas in order
to use the Risk Analyzer. It is unnecessary to embed custom functions
into your workbooks. All you need to know is what values your
input variables are likely to have: the minimum and maximum values
and the distribution shape (uniform
normal
or skewed in one direction). The following illustrates the different types of distributions
that are available:
The results are presented to you via graphs and tables that will
be readily understood by your management
investors
partners
associates
or bankers.
The following illustrates just one of the output graphs created by
the Risk Analyzer:
In addition to result charts like the one above,
the Risk Analyzer also
gives you histograms that show cumulative probabilities and tornado charts that show
the sensitivity of the output variables to your input variables.
The Risk Analyzer is the only risk analysis program that creates risk funnel charts like the following:
Such charts are a great way to graphically see the risk of a proposal.
Key features of the Risk Analyzer:
Completely menu driven for ease of use.
Designed and written by users for users.
You do not put any special functions into your workbooks,
which allows you to share your workbooks with others who do not have the Risk Analyzer. Many other Monte Carlo simulation programs embed special functions that require all users of the workbooks to purchase their expensive programs.
Easy to learn -you do not need to attend expensive training courses
to learn how to use. Three helpful example files with step by step instructions
show you how to use the Risk Analyzer. There is also an extensive help file.
No annual support contract required to talk to a support person for help. If you need assistance
just call us.
Our free help doesn't expire.
Your input variables (cells) and their distributions are listed on a special
premise sheet for you to conveniently review.
Customizable probability distribution. You do not need to create a distribution for each input cell - use one distribution for a group of related cells.
Probability distributions can have minimum and maximum allowed values
so that you do not get extreme,
unrealistic values in your studies
You can have as many input and output variables as you need
Worksheets are created that list all the simulations
with the values of all the output variables and input variables
Easily set your workbook to the input values in any simulation so that you
can check your model's calculations
Easily set your workbook back to its original values once you are
done
Easy to understand reports
Select which input and output variables to use when doing a Monte Carlo
analysis so that you can easily perform "what if" studies on any subset of your
input and output variables.
Very
very fast - do thousands of evaluations in minutes.
"What if
" capability that allows you to type in a value and see what the probability of occurrence is
for that value.
Customizable histograms that have step sizes,
number of
bins (bars),
and minimum and maximum values for ease of use and interpretation.
The Risk Analyzer add-in is loaded only when you need it
instead of loading every time you open Excel.
Easy to use installation program.
Frequent free upgrades
