> 
> **Pros**: As a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt coach and teacher, I often tell my Black Belts and Green Belts - &#10;&#10;"ALWAYS do a PGA (Practical, Graphical, Analytical) check of your Data before making  your final decision\!"&#10;&#10;QI Macros helps us do PGA in a very complete and easy to understand format in a software we are all familiar with already - Excel. QI Macros paints a full picture of the data with graphics that are colorful with analysis that is in-depth.  &#10;&#10;It is also very complete presenting many variations of graphic and statistical tools in its menus.
> 
> **Cons**: In retail, we often use forecasting and other "time series" tools. This area needs to be explored a bit more to offer some of these options.

> 
> **Cons**: The one thing I don't like about QIMacros is that it is an add-in for Microsoft Excel and Excel can be a bear to use sometimes.
> 
> Multiple quality control uses

### "VERY COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURED CHARACTERISTICS/ATTRIBUTES" — 5.0/5

> **Truett** | *25 May 2021* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use the variables control charts, attributes charts,  and capability analyses to assess measurement and inspection data.  I already had data in Excel.  I just selected the data (measurements) and the feature I wanted to apply ( Xmr chart, Cpk, or whatever), and QI Macros would crunch the data and prepare my chart.  Very easy to implement.
> 
> **Cons**: In some cases, it may be helpful if QI Macros would recommend which features may be best applied to the data selected.
> 
> I have used much more expensive QA software in the past, but data had to be entered and configured to satisfy program requirements.  QI Macros has saved MANY hours over the years.
