I am using QF Pro v. 4. I use this in bread making.
I have an MS-Excel workbook comprised of several worksheets that I have
d/l'd to my Newton for use in QuickFigure. While the the
workbook/spreadsheets work in OpenOffice Calc, Excel 5 and the current
version of Excel, they are a bit too complex for QuickFigure. Here's a
scenario.
Worksheet A contains formulas for costs like:
A B C D E F G
Ingredient measure weight (oz) ingredient cost purchase cost purchase
qty measure/qty
Yeast tsp 0.11 $0.04 $5.50 1 lb 144
In this case, D2 = E2/G2. (ingredient cost = purchase cost/purchase
qty). D2 is assigned the name/alias of yeast.
Worksheet C contains recipes with rows like:
A B C D
yeast tsp 2.50 $0.10
In the above example, D1=SUM(C2*yeast)
Quickfigure does not like this. I believe the alias is giving it a fit.
I have tried to use the LINK function to substitute for 'yeast'. I have
tried every way I can think of.
The function inserts :link("Breadcosts",$D2,0)
According to the docs, I should reference the worksheet. 'Breadcosts'
is the workbook name.
These (and others were tried using the documentation.
D1=SUM(C2*Ingredients!D2) - does not work
D1=SUM(Ingredients!D2*C2) - does not work
D1=SUM("Ingredients!D2"*C2) - does not work
The documentation says I can link between worksheets. Has anyone used
the link function in an equation and if so, how.
Thank you,
Mike Rodgers
