    What engineering/math features is Excel missing?

    For those interested, I've added an early (unfinished) version of the unit-checker. It handles formulas with basic arithmetic where the units of the formula cell and referenced cells are specified in the cell to the right of each value cell. It doesn't yet take into account the CONVERT function...

    What engineering/math features is Excel missing?

    Fred... Thank-you (and all the other kind members) for your feedback. As I mentioned at the start, an early preview (beta) version is available for testing purposes. It's fairly rough around the edges, but good enough for kicking the tyres. As I mentioned, it will be a commercial product...

    What engineering/math features is Excel missing?

    What engineering/math features is Excel missing?

    Hi All Background I'm nearing the end of development of an Excel add-in (commercial) which adds new engineering and math features to Excel. I'd like to have a discussion with engineers that use Excel on a daily basis to ensure that the product adds true value and meets their needs and desires...
