Results Tracking/Charting Software

5 Replies

Hey Folks,

I'm a little new here (and actually on the other side of the Atlantic from the "Mother Country" - Newfoundlander) but I was hoping some enterprising individual might have already come up with a piece of easier-to-use-than-excel software which would allow you to track and graph test results over time?

You could make up a handwritten spreadsheet 😊😊 I am not computer literate so .....

Yeah I'm trying to find something I can just punch the numbers into it and have it display a graph of changes over time. Thanks for thanks for the input though.

I find a spreadsheet helps endocrinologist grasp that levels change over time

Very good at demonstrating that antibodies fall at every test after going strictly gluten free

Yeah spreadsheet program is exactly what I'm looking for but I'm trying to find one that's a little easier to use than just Ms Excel. Thanks for the input though

I used to teach Excel. It looks a bit daunting but is actually quite simple. Put TSH,T3, T4 and any other results you want down the first column, but start on the second square down. Put the dates along the top row, starting in the second square across. Fill in the blood results you have. SAVE IT!

When you want to do a chart, just highlight the results, click insert, chart, and away you go. Play with the charts (options at the top will be there) to see which shows off the results the best. If you get into a muddle, just shut the file without saving and open it again to the original file and all your playing will have gone.

To just get say the TSH, highlight that row, insert, chart.

Excel can do a whole lot, but just like a washing machine, you can choose which bits you want to use. I have never used half the programmes on the washing machine!

You dont need any formula so just have a go and surprise yourself. PM me if I can help further.
