What
does"#NAME?" mean? |
This
means that your Excel does not have the proper Add-Ins. Go to the top menu of Excel and click on "Tools"
and then click on "Add-Ins". A display will appear showing
the add-ins installed. Make sure that the "Analysis ToolPak"
is checked. If it is not checked, then check the "Analysis
ToolPak" box and click "OK". Excel will then prompt
you to insert your Microsoft® Excel or Office Suite CD to load
the "Add-In". Once this is completed, then enter a new
start date on the program. |
| CSI
only offers their programs as online downloads - so how do I backup
the program? |
After
downloading the file to your hard drive, copy the file to a floppy
disk or burn it to a CD for safe keeping. |
| The
Days "over/under" is incorrect. |
The
steps for making the first schedule are as follows:
1. Enter the Start Date in cell "C8"
2. Revise all WkDays for each task item. Note always enter "0"
for all WkDay items that are for ordering or contracting.
3. After entering all the WkDays, go to task item 153 and make
note of the date in the completed column. Remember that date and
now enter it in the "Proposed Complete" cell. This "Proposed
Complete" cell date should not be changed from that point
forward as you continue updating this specific job # schedule.
This date will effect the days over/under by using this "Proposed
Complete date".

| Does
this program recalculate starts and completions if the home becomes
behind or ahead of schedule. |
That's
the purpose of this program. When you enter an actual completion
date to replace a "N" the program will automatically recalculate
the dates from that item completely to the completion dates. |
| Do
I have to enter dates that fall on Mondays through Fridays? |
Yes! |

are the small Red Triangles located in some cells? |
These

pop up will display containing this helpful information. |
