dx= number dying during age interval x to x+1
nx= number alive at start of age interval x
lx= proportion surviving to start age interval x
1. Notice the two cells highlighted in yellow and labelled "Category 1" and "Category 2". Replace the generic names with more specific names.
For example, Category 1 might be "Females" and Category 2 might be "Males." Just type right into the same cells where "Category 1" and "Category 2" currently appear.
2. From your data, determine the number of people of each age class who died while at that age. These are your dx numbers.
Enter these numbers in the dx columns highlighted in yellow; the rest of the table and the graph should appear automatically
3. If you want to see an example of a filled-in worksheet, go to the "example" worksheet within this spreadsheet- click on the example tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
