FISHERSEXACTTEST(DataRange,NewTableFlag)
- is the array of x and y values.
- is either TRUE or FALSE. TRUE for getting results in a new cube. FALSE will display results in the same cube.

- This function gives the test statistic of the Fisher's Exact Test.
- Since this method is more computationally intense, it is best used for smaller samples.
- Like the chi-square test for (2x2) tables, Fisher's exact test examines the relation between two dimensions of the table (classification into rows vs. columns).
- For experiments with small numbers of participants (below 1,000), Fisher’s is more accurate than the chi-square test or G-test.
- The null hypothesis is that these two classifications are not different.
- The P values in this test are computed by considering all possible tables that could give the row and column totals observed.
