The Chart Missing from All Spreadsheet Software
Added 2024-11-22 17:34:18 +0000 UTCA new video, inspired by me trying to plot something and being unable to.
And there's one week left to get an original MinutePhysics drawing! Support me here on Patreon at the Special Relativity level or above and I'll send you one.
Thanks as always for your support,
Henry
ps I realized after uploading that because I didn't have my usual ending screen, I did not include the onscreen thank you to patrons. I'm sorry!! I will rectify that in videos going forward.

Great point! Excel and the like are closed systems where it is difficult to create new features. For a long time, they didn't support error bars very well, for example. But, analysis programs like Mathematica (which you mention) are fully scriptable, and someone could code up exactly what you describe and even share it on Wolfram website. (It might already be there!) But, Mathematica is harder to learn than Excel and other spreadsheet-style programs, so there you go! Here is the site for Mathematica code sharing: https://community.wolfram.com/
