Interpretive Summary: Understanding two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with unbalanced data is challenging and is often dismissed and handed over to dedicated statistical software program without knowing how the data is handled by those programs. This paper allows students, instructors, and researchers to use Excel spreadsheets to explore two-way ANOVA scenarios with unbalanced data.
