I will try to keep this section updated as questions come in. For now here are a few questions (and answers) you may find useful.

Q. Is it safe to enable the macro's within the Analysis Suite?

A. Short answer: Yes.

A. Long answer: Depending on how you have Excel set up you may be asked if you want to enable the macros contained within the Analysis Workbook. To use the Workbook you must enable the macros. I have been running the macros on my computer and nothing has blown up yet, but as with all code you run it at your own risk. The code only writes to cells within the workbook, and the only external access it has is to open your property-bee CSV data file.

Q. Why wont it work on my computer?

A. The workbook has been developed using Microsoft Excel 2000 and has been tested on Windows 2000 and Windows Vista. It should work on any version of Excel from 2000 onwards, and any version of Windows from 2000 onwards, but there is a chance that it may not function as expected on all computers. If you are having problems please contact me and I'll try my best to help you get it working.
