The XL in H&S is identical to XL in the full version.

All functions (including those that used to be in the Analysis Toolpak
Add-in) are present.

Where are Anova? Where are Histogram? Where are the t functions. Only a
FEW have been moved over to regular functions in Excel. VERY FEW!!!

Not quite. All formulas/functions that used to be in the Analysis
Toolpak Add-in are now built-in functions in XL.

The only things missing that the ATP provided are wizards (and a very
poor Random Number Generator), which can be replicated using worksheet
functions. It's not as convenient, but no functional capability has been
lost, and in some cases, the built-in functions provide more accuracy
than the ATP did.

VBA on the other hand...

Those aren't functions (of which there are about three dozen in the ATP,
now built into XL08). You're referring to the ATP wizards, which, for
the most part, use built-in XL functions to calculate their results.

For methods to accomplish the same thing as the ATP wizards, see
