Default Free spreadsheet for badge/record evaluation

You are correct, I am using Excel 2011 for Mac. When I have some time to play with it I'll give you an update.

Kind of sad the the rules have evolved to the point we need a quad-core

Hi, Karl

Thanks for the "atta girl"! Please let me know how your further testing
goes, and feel free to e-mail me on any problem areas. (I assume you're
using Excel 2011 for MACs, as the 2008 version didn't support VBA macros
and Claim Check is highly dependent on these.)

As an aside, the need for (processor) speed is chiefly driven by
spreadsheet limitations when evaluating up to 50,000 fixes (13.8 hours
recorded at a 1-second interval). I can spell "heuristics," but the
equations to get the job done quickly present a real challenge!
