摘要

An EXCEL (Microsoft Corp.) workbook has been configured to enable spreadsheet calculation of two-dimensional structure factors and Fourier syntheses. An exercise in which it can be used by undergraduate students to solve the structure of potassium bicarbonate in projection is described. The package is available from the internet. [References: 2]
