Running a Windows Virtual Machine on a Mac:

If you are a Mac user, you may be required to run certain Excel add-ins that will not run within the Mac version of Microsoft Excel. In order for you to properly complete your class work, you will need to install a Windows virtual machine within VMWare Fusion on your Mac. This is the easiest, fastest and most reliable way to run Windows applications on a Mac without rebooting.

• A detailed, step by step video on what software to download and how to configure VMWare Fusion is available on the Fuqua YouTube channel under the Tech Tips section.

Course Related Add-Ins:

Please Note: Certain core classes at Fuqua require the use of Microsoft Excel add-ins. Not all add-ins are compatible with Microsoft Excel 2016 on the Mac.

The following are the only add-ins that are compatible with both Microsoft Excel 2016 on Mac and Microsoft Excel 2016 on Windows:

• Solver
• Treeplan
• SensIT

The following add-ins must be run in Microsoft Excel 2016 within a Windows operating system:

• Crystal Ball
• FSBstats
• People Express Simulator
• RegressIT
• Statgraphics Centurion

If you have a Mac computer, you are required to be able to run all of the above add-ins. This can be done through the installation of a virtual machine, such as VMWare Fusion or you can make use of Fuqua’s Computer Lab which has all of the needed add-ins for each class.

It might also be useful to download and install the StatPlus:mac LE Analysis Toolpak for the Mac from AnalystSoft.
