Excel Tool - Submarine Reporter

Post by rcm1616 »

I have developed MS Excel 2010 tool for parsing submarine combat records data from combat and operational reports.

It is macro enabled spreadsheet that automatically process submarine combat reports and create reports like this:

Nice work... it's the same process by which you uploaded the picture. But you should rename the xls file extension to .txt.

If it's bigger that 500KB you'll need to put it in the tech section where there are more options including zip iirc

The tech section allows larger files too ..[edit] sorry thought I mentioned that. Otherwise I'll host it on my googlesite if you want. http://sites.google.com/site/n01487477/Home

The OP sent the file to me and is going to upload it on this forum later.

I've uploaded it on my site for the time being, but as I don't have xls 2010, I couldn't get it working.

Awesome, this is a nice gimmick to check out the subs. For a while tried to do this by hand, for fun, but ufff. A cool thing. Thanks!

I would imagine none. Do you have a temp folder set up?

I tried to use that temp folder. I also adjusted the game folder.
Copied all combat and operational reports into the temp folder.

"File not found"

Maybe the conversion to office 2000 doesn´t work, no idea.
However, it would be cool to have a few infos how to set it up.

As I said before I couldn't get it working in xls 2002 - it wouldn't convert properly. You need a recent version of office to run this I think. I don;t think you need to copy any files just make sure the configuration is correct in the first worksheet. And have a temp folder set.

I'm back online. Just give me some time, I'll upload it in Tech Support part of this forum.
(with short config guide...)

I have tested SubReporter strictly on 2010 version of Excel. I think Office 2000 is too old for it...

This looks great. It opens fine and I enable macros in Office 2007 however I cannot import database as it says there is a file missing in the scen folder. Looking forward to the config guide once its up. Great work
