Load Devolpment Graph/Chart

[Dashoota]

What are y'all using to make those fancy graphs and charts for your ladder tests?

I've tried clicking on the 65guys link and all I get is a bunch of jumbled up numbers and letters.

Tried the search engine and nothing pops up.

Most people use Excel. It's a spreadsheet program that's part of the Microsoft Office.

Roger that. I just got through looking at excel. Dang! My computer illiterate arse doesn’t even know where to begin.

Anyone have a template they don’t mind sharing with a dummy.?

 

[Dashoota]

Well I just tried the 65guys link on my buddies computer and it pulled up. I guess my Excel is out of date or sumtin.....

An Excel template would make a good resource sticky.

It's really not too hard to get a basic graph from Excel. Try entering your charge weight and velocity into a spreadsheet. Two columns. Then select the two columns. Then up on the tool bar, ( or one of the tool bars ), there should be a selection for graph/plot. You'll want to choose an "X - Y" type with lines.

At the top of the spreadsheet when you open it up, is there a orange line that says to enable the use of macros?

This what I get when I click the link on their website and the link you posted.

Weird. Its not downloading it for some reason but displaying that xml in internet explorer instead of excel.
Try downloading it with your edge browser (darker blue e to the left) instead of explorer (lighter blue e with the gold swoosh to the right).

Edit: I tried to download it in internet explorer and it didnt work either. Im sure theres a setting somewhere for it but not worth the trouble to figure out on the shittiest browser you can get.

I use google chrome as my web browser and it downloads it just fine.

 

[Dashoota]

Same thing. I'll upgrade to chrome and see if that'll work.

Well that was it!!! For some reason it would not open correctly in Microsoft Explorer. When I downloaded Google Chrome it opens just fine. Thanks guys for all the help. Hopefully someone will benefit form all my high blood pressure.

Has anyone had issues with this sheet recently? When I try to download it, it will not enable the macros; it says the file is corrupted and/or malicious.
Thanks
