Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Excel for data preparation and calculation steps, with no mention of Linux-compatible spreadsheet tools (such as LibreOffice Calc or Google Sheets) or command-line alternatives. All screenshots and instructions are tailored to Excel, which is primarily a Windows (and Mac) application, and there are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or those preferring open-source tools.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention and provide parallel instructions for Linux-compatible spreadsheet applications such as LibreOffice Calc and Google Sheets.
- Include screenshots and step-by-step examples using LibreOffice Calc or Google Sheets alongside Excel.
- Offer a brief section or appendix on how to perform the calculations using command-line tools (e.g., csvkit, awk, pandas in Python) for advanced or Linux-native users.
- Use more generic terminology (e.g., 'spreadsheet application' instead of 'Excel') throughout the documentation, except where Excel-specific features are referenced.
- Where possible, provide downloadable example files in open formats and ensure formulas are compatible with non-Excel spreadsheet software.
