Manloading Calculator - Construction



Update: I tried "Google Docs" and "EditGrid" and couldn't get either to allow me to lock the cells off. To clarify, I want to have sheets that are protected with just a few cells open for data entry. This way I can have the sheet calculate the input in an adjacent cell without the option of erasing the formula by accident (its locked off in another cell).

I saw the Mr. Rogers had a page that looked like a view only page, what I want is in between. It is possible in regular excel - I use it all the time. Still good technology, just hope it improves a little more.

I used "EditGrid" to post a manloading calculator to my blog. I am going to play around with this some more. What i really want is a spreadsheet (or part of one) that is locked except for the cells for data entry. That would be like the excel sheet this came from.

Click on the down arrow to select full view of this sheet. It is a calaculator (part of one) in use right now and part of the new Foremen Development Series for the IBEW Seventh District.

The cool uses for this technology (especially if lockable) are for posting to a blog or linking to a site a calculator that helps guys plan their man power- without a lot of math on their part.

I like it.
