The figure at the left shows the command menu for the Markov Analysis add-in. The menu is similar to all other add-ins in the Markov collection in that it includes Start and Finish commands.

The Start command creates the Start worksheet illustrated below. The worksheet has buttons to create models from the add-ins in the Markov collection: the Markov Data, Markov Models, Markov Analysis, and Markov Decision Process add-ins. The appropriate add-ins must be installed for the buttons to work.

It is good practice to always delete buttons and functions that will engender error messages if a workbook is to be opened on another computer. Use the Finish command prior to closing a workbook to delete all buttons and user-defined functions. Note that the buttons are deleted from all worksheets created by an add-in in the Markov collection.

When the buttons and functions are deleted with the Finish command, they are easily replaced with the Start command.
