Notes This Excel file has VB code that handles all of the buttons¸ various background formatting¸ and some of the calculations. By default Excel disables macros - You will need to enable after opening the file ( help is available on the first tab ). This workbook¸ and all sheets (tabs) are locked to prevent accidental formula deletion. If you want to poke around under the hood¸ the default password to unlock them is "1234" ( without the quotes ). No bamboozle guarantee: All of the VBA code used to make this application can be viewed in Developer Mode¸ so you can see that there are no shenanigans going on ?
