Barrels page formatting

File:BarrelSim v1a.zip

I did some formatting on the Barrels page. Let me know what you think so far.

I also moved the worksheets list to the "instructions" page, assuming the user would want the same list for each barrel tab. Once everything else is set, we'll probably want to put a lot more instructions there, or even automate the process of extending the Name range if the user adds more rows.

I'm still trying to figure out a user-friendly way for the barrels. The only thing I can think of doing is putting instructions on how to insert a row into the list manually. You can select 1 of the rows in the list and do Insert -> Rows.

Also thought about maybe a few fields at the bottom or somewhere where the user could manually put in numbers to be included into the math in case they mess up on a vine or get the grapes from somewhere else. What do you think about that?

File:BarrelSim v1b.zip

Ok Shebi, I have updated the BarrelSims again. I only did it to a few sheets so I could put it to use tonight when I do some barreling. I added a clear worksheet macro that will reset all values back to 0/default state. I know there is some formatting that needs to be done so have at it! I wanted to let you take a stab at it and also I wanted to give it a try to see if there is anything missing or could be put to good/better use elsewhere. Let me know what you think.

Thanks, --Darien 19:54, 23 February 2009 (EST)

I've put this project on hold for the time being because as I use it, I can't figure out a fast efficient way to work this into my wine workflow. --Darien 18:43, 2 March 2009 (EST)

VineSim update 2.2b

File:VineSim v2-1a.zip uploaded. Formatting fixes, one formula error fixed. I didn't put the Bold feature in that you mentioned, and I'm not sure I understand what the Y and N settings are for, so those instructions aren't complete. --Shebi 18:15, 19 February 2009 (EST)

I guess we could probably take the Y/N out. It was my solution to keeping up with the tend until I thought of the C. I'll try tending the vines tonight without em and see if it makes a difference. It does look kind of busy with them on a filled out sheet. I got the favored tend bolded on each table and was trying to do it before you grabbed the file but I see I didn't make it in time. :) We can add it for another release. For personal preference I may have to change the white background. Its blinding me, of course it could be this bright monitor I use at work. I'll give it a go when I get home from work and see how it works out. Thanks again for such a fast fix. This will give me a chance to update my main vineyard spreadsheet. I'm still using one of the older spreadsheets for it.

I haven't updated the download page, or replaced version 2.0 in the official release, so there's still time to add the Bold feature if you like. In the meantime, I'll play around with the background color a bit too. --Shebi 19:42, 19 February 2009 (EST)

Ok, soon as I finish my nightly chores here, I'll finish copying the tables into the new spreadsheet and upload it. Should be in the next 30 min or so. --Darien 19:55, 19 February 2009 (EST)

Here it is. The white isn't so bad now. I messed up and looked at the document after I had spent the past 2 hours working on the AS/400. Black screen w/ green text. Also changed the tend to C/D for Current/Done. File:VineSim v2-1b.zip --Darien 20:25, 19 February 2009 (EST)

Updated Vinesims again with a few changes listed on the page with the request for extra tends: File:VineSim v2-2a.zip --Darien 18:40, 2 March 2009 (EST)

Possible Additions/Features for VineSims and BarrelSims
