Hi Mandie. I've done a loto of work to get my Excel works and now I use it usefully. But I sometimes discover bugs that I fix every time I discover, so I think it is better for you to wait until it seems that no new bugs arise. I also have to update the document describing the functions, mainly for me (hard to remember all the details).
