Excel add-in version 3.2
Resampling Stats for Excel is an add-in for Excel that facilitates bootstrapping, permutation and simulation procedures with data in Excel. The latest release, version 3.2, offers a variety of options for stratified resampling, custom function iteration, the ability to run up to 10,000,000 iterations, new stratified sampling capabilities, histograms, and much more.
The basic procedure is simple: Select the data you want to resample, select "resample" or "shuffle" from the Resampling Stats menu, then specify an output range for the resampled data. Calculate a statistic of interest, then select "Repeat & Score" from the Resampling Stats menu. The resampling operation will be repeated thousands (or tens of thousands) of times, and each time the value of your statistic of interest will be recorded.
Comes with 160-page user guide (available available online or in print); works with English language versions of Excel. Note for Mac users

Features of Resampling Stats Excel add-in version 3.2 (Purchase Online)
- Up to 10,000,0000 iterations for a single test statistic (for multiple test statistics the limit is the number of rows in Excel)
- Histogram offers substantial improvements over Excel's (better auto-binning, integer auto-binning, user specified bin widths, user-specified number of bins, option for cumulative display)
- Uses Resampling Stats' random number generator, not Excel's (More information on the random number generator)
- Facilitates stratified resampling (specify nested stratification variables, resample within rows or columns; also resample within specified matrix ranges)
- Facilitates multivariate case resampling (resample rows or columns as units)
- Multi-stage resampling (use the output of a first stage resample as input for a second-stage resample)
- Save your worksheet resampling parameters so you can open it later and redo the same simulations with a single click (or change score cells, or change number of iterations)
- Iterate formulas to solve difference equations
- Repeat and Score up to 256 cells in one simulation
- User-created custom functions can be resampled
Plus - Resampling Stats provides custom functions that let you generate random numbers from the following distributions:
Beta
Binomial
Exponential
Gamma
Geometric
LogNormal

Normal
Pareto
Poisson
Uniform integer
Uniform real
Weibull
