Training isn't enough! Based on calls from our tech support line, we can tell you that most folks struggle with which chart to choose. Even if they have gone to a training class, it doesn't matter, they still spend time they don't have trying to decide on the right chart and then they still aren't sure.

Decision Trees are Cumbersome. Rather than having to think your way through a forest of decision trees like the ones in Minitab®, wouldn't it be great if the decision tree was already coded into the software? In QI Macros, it is!
