Importing Project Allowances

Problem

Extract Special--Allowances does not pick up 'new style' allowances (L&M ALLOW or MAT ALLOW) DOS only??

Diagnosis

they make an extract of project allowances from a MacNail estimate, but it doesn't get new allowances. Problem fixed 3/95.

Solution

1. activate ESTIMATE.XLM (the Manager for MacNail Construction Estimating Software)
2. Go to cell H112
3. change formula from =FORMULA("allowance") to =FORMULA("*allow:*")
3 ALT: do =FORMULA("*allow*") instead (no colon). This will get 'old style' allowances in version ≤3.2 estimates, but it may also pick up an occasional other item.
4. Go to cell A1
5. Choose Save from the File menu
