1.2 Installation
PC*MILER|Spreadsheets is a PC*MILER add-on product that can be installed when you install PC*MILER or at a later time. To install Spreadsheets along with PC*MILER, you simply make sure that “PC*MILER|Spreadsheets” is checked on the list of PC*MILER components when you are prompted during the installation process.
If you are adding Spreadsheets at a later time, refer to the printed Getting Started
Guide that came with your purchase of PC*MILER, or the PC*MILER User’s
Guide that was included with the PC*MILER installation (see Accessing
PC*MILER Product User’s Guides, section 1.5).
1.3 The DEMO.xls Sample Workbooks
The PC*MILER|Spreadsheets installation contains sample workbooks of all
PC*MILER|Spreadsheets functions. They are a useful reference when you are learning how to use the application. These files are located in the Excel folder in the PCMILER29 folder of your PC*MILER installation. Use these workbooks as a starting point, and then further customize each workbook for your own needs.
Sample workbooks are available in the …\ALK Technologies\PCMILER29\
EXCEL ... folder:
• DEMO_NA.xls – includes functions specific to general PC*MILER use
• DEMO_NA_Tolls.xls – includes functions specific to PC*MILER|Tolls
(PC*MILER|Tolls must be installed)
• DEMO_WW.xls – includes functions specific to PC*MILER|Worldwide
(PC*MILER|Worldwide must be installed)
When you open one of these files, the first thing you’ll see is an introduction to
PC*MILER|Spreadsheets with instructions for setup and using the demo file. To go to the sample function applications, click on any other tab in the workbook.
Function-specific instructions are under the spreadsheet in each tab. Any cell that displays “#NAME?” can be activated to reveal the formula in the cell, just double-click it and press <Enter>.
IMPORTANT:
Make a backup copy of each sample workbook before making any changes to preserve the file’s original contents, layout and formatting.
