What's New in Minitab 17.3

Minitab Version 17.3 focuses on data import and data cleaning. With version 17.3, Minitab users can concentrate on data analysis and don't have to deal with wrong data conversion or badly formatted data sets - independent of whether the data comes from tables or other data file formats, copy and paste input or is imported from Minitab Quality Trainer. The new features are automatically applied upon data import.

  • Identify and correct case mismatches
  • Represent missing data properly
  • Remove blank rows and extra spaces or characters
