Hiya. This looks so great, thanks. Unfortunately I can’t open it on my (very up-to-date) MAC without installing ocd through the command line terminal, which I really don’t want to do bcs command line stuff is tricky. Is it possible to get the Open Source program to export as an Excel file, pls? Or even if there was a snapshot of the file with notations regarding the calculation cells that would be awesome.
Any chance of this, please? If I had this I’d be happy to build it and make it available to anyone who wanted it.

I have the same problem, I have an up to date computer and Office. So, maybe something changed since you downloaded it?

It should be automatic. Are you using an old version of Excel? And just to be clear, you are putting in the measurements like Chest, waist, armhole depth, etc. and then looking at the calculated measures like A, B, C, and the points?
