There are three tutorials for ARulesXL. One introduces the features of ARulesXL, another introduces rule design, and the third is multi-sheet workbooks with graduated examples on each worksheet.

Learning ARulesXL

This tutorial walks you through the basic ARulesXL concepts explaining how to create and use rules and rule sets.

• Creating a Simple Rule Set & Querying It
• Using Decision Tables
• Debugging Queries
• Using Cell Values in Queries and Rules
• Using Formulas in Rules
• Using Tables, Arrays, Lists, Properties & Pattern Matching Variables

Designing Rules and Rule Sets

The Designing Rules Tutorial focuses on knowledge engineering, the process of analyzing knowledge and converting it into rules that can be used on a spreadsheet. It uses a simple product advisor as its implementation example.

Techniques Spreadsheets

The two sample spreadsheets Techniques Basic.xls and Techniques Advanced.xls have multiple worksheets that introduce ARulesXL concepts one sheet at a time. The first sheets have very basic rule sets and they build to more complex examples, introducing new concepts on each successive sheet.
