Here is the formula for the thrust at target feedrate for both metric and inch: IF(B6="Stepper";IF(B3="Metric";B49*B30*B22*6280/B27;B49*B30*B22*0,392/B27);"")

Edit: I think......  ;)

More edit: Changed the constant "6140" to "6280"

Yet more edit: Changed the constant "0,384" to "0,392"

Ray, a couple questions, I'm not very familiar with excel, is it possible to make the "white" cells read only? It is easy to accidentally remove the formulas in those cells. Of course, if not saved, you can reopen the document to recover the lost formulas but it would be better if you couldn't erase the cells in the first place.

I like the "drop down" list. How do you make one? I couldn't find this function.

Steinar,

I don't know of any way to protect individual cells, but I'm no expert either.

To create a drop-down, create the list of values you want to allow (they're at the bottom of column A in my spreadsheet), select the cell you want to have the drop-down, then select Data->Validation, and in the drop-down in the dialog that pops up, select "List", then put in the range of cells containing the allowable values.

Regards,
Ray L.

Steiner, unlock the green cells and then protect the sheet as follows:

Select a green cell(s), right click, select Format Cells.. > Protection and remove the check from the “Locked” box.
Repeat for all green cells.

Go to Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet..
Check the “Protect worksheet and contents of locked cells”.
It’s OK to leave the password entry blank.
In the bottom window uncheck everything except “Select unlocked cells”.

Now excel will only let you select the green cells.

Ray,
