Okay, I have started to link tools to excel. I want to know if there is a work around for linking formula custom columns. I know that excel won’t pick them up, But I will give an example:

I have 2 ply 2×4 as a tool, instead of taking off the same thing twice, the waste is set to multiply it by 2, etc.

I want to be able to upload that information into excel.

I am trying to figure out a way to select two columns at once to sort markups. I would like to preferably be able to organize with subject and layer simultaneously. Is this even possible?

[Dakotah Cooper]

Thank you, sir.

[Dakotah Cooper]

That makes perfect sense. The drawing board is becoming a second home to me.

Do you have any resources here I can look through for re-using links? Can I re-use the same “Checklist” and make a copy for multiple jobs, and it remembers those links?

[Dakotah Cooper]

Thank you, and Doug.

I want to be able to create an efficient system for my team.

If I am estimating Laminated Lumber Beams, the schedule might call out the same material:

9″ LVL for an example, 1 ply, 2ply, 3 ply.

Currently, we have tools associated with 1-3 ply of all of these materials. So that, we have 1 mark-up that is equal to 3. So, on and so forth.

If I rid the system of taking advantage this, I fear the estimating process would take too long.

Is there a way to get the Waste Factor to do its own math within the excel link? As, it is an option within the filters, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

The Sorting method is working seamlessly. Thank you!

[Dakotah Cooper]

Thank you again, by the way.

[Dakotah Cooper]

Fixed, and things are moving well. Thank you.
