... has been completed to it's first version; 0.10.
I currently want people to check it out, and report on EVERY thing they don't like, they miss, and especially: bugs.
It's my first try on making a profession calculator (in fact, it's my first try in creating ANYTHING useful in Excel), so, keep the criticism(?) comming.
I need corrections on the effects.
Since I cannot edit my posts, I will provide you witha link to my thread on SwgCraft.com, so you can be updated.

Currently there is no function that calculates the cost of BE-Additives.

Some feedback for you. First I haven't done that much with excel so I really don't have a clue if some of this is possible. I'm just going off of what I would do on a webpage with php and javascript.
1) It would be nice to only list those ingrediants needed for each item.
For instance if something needs berries and fruit, it would have4 columns after the food for those names and the quantities needed.
Either that or another sheet listing a summary of what you need. At the moment I just think it is hard to view at a glance what you need. You made it so I can put in 10 different foods at once, so I would like to see what I need for all 10 foods at once.
2) Another sheet for the prices might be good. Again though this goes with my issue of having to scroll over. I have a mouse wheel that I can go down, I don't have one that can go to the left or right. Just looking for convience here. I rarely ever make spreadsheets that fill up more than a screen size.
3) This goes along with #1 mainly. Its not completely obvious that you need more resources for components of a food. This would be something that would be solved with some sort of summary table.
You would have to have separate parts for components resources though. I(and I would guess many others) just use crap resources for components. It isn't useful to know I need 16k wheat. It is useful to know I need 12k wheat for the final food and 4k wheat for components.

Yes, I could make a item price next to every item, but as you said, it will be to hard to calculate additives and containers and such.

Play with this I must!
Atfirst glance:
- Appears complicated, but not so, especially if you take a second to check the "Readme" tab
- Calculated cost works, but really only for one item at a time. If you want to price a second item, you need to wipe first (am I doing this right?). Be nice to have a price calc next to each food item, as well as the total cost up top.
Really nice and customizable. Big fan at first blush.
Thanks!
[Hmm, second thought, nearly impossible to do price next to each food since you won't be able to tell which do and don't take BE components into consideration? More pondering...]

It isn't complicated, just don't alter anything in the orange fields or anything in the moveable field (below the text).
It is still in it's beta phase, and I'm currently adding features.
