2.1. Getting Started with @RISK

I've just installed @RISK. How do I learn to use it? Where do I start?

Welcome to @RISK! If you can represent your problem as a base case in Excel, you can add @RISK to that model to analyze and model uncertainty.

We have videos for every stage of your learning:

Are you new to the concepts of risk analysis with Monte Carlo simulation? View our Introduction to Risk Analysis Using @RISK.
Understand risk analysis in general, but new to @RISK? Watch the Quick Start from beginning to end. It's not very long, but it will show you the steps in modeling with our software, and give you some best practices.
Need more on particular topics? Take our Guided Tour. When it begins to play, a menu down the left side lets you jump to whatever topic you want to know more about.

@RISK also comes with numerous examples preinstalled. (In the @RISK menu, click Help » Example Spreadsheets.) These are generally small "toy" models to show you particular techniques or illustrate various applications or features of the software.

You'll find answers to a lot of frequently asked questions under Techniques and Tips in our searchable Knowledge Base. And if you see a message you don't understand, chances are good you'll find it, with a solution, in our Troubleshooting section. Tech Support can also help you with messages that aren't clear, or with particular features of the software.

More intensive training is available in on-demand webinars and live webinars. We also offer in-person regional training.
