You make it sound like it’s amazing for being smarter than you. Have you met yourself?

Every day, so perhaps it being smarter than Me is not all that surprising...

Found an issue with power requirements display. Building an Agriculture Station. Optional Components power should be 675 per the power calculation but the Power Distribution section of the Power worksheet only shows 7. 668 comes from equipment in the 9b-Optional worksheet, that is what's not being added to the Power Distribution section.

New Version 2025.07.10

Power Tab's Power Distribution expanded to include station systems- Good catch Mavikfelna
Revised Retro computers for unlimited reductions instead of only three - Thanks Terry

Does this spreadsheet work with excel for a tablet

Does this spreadsheet work with excel for a tablet

I do not know.
I have used it in the past on my Kindle, but not for a couple of years. I only use the commands that were available on the 2016 version I was using when I started it, and no VBA, so it SHOULD work. This was also done in an effort to make it convert to the non-excel sheets out there, like Libre. In other words it is all vanilla legacy commands, so one would expect that if Excel works on your tablet, this will.

Which succeeded really well, it works perfectly in Libre Offics (except the tab colours, but who cares about that!)

Thanks for the latest release.

I did notice that on the Summary Tab, the Fuel entry it displays the following "1 Jumps Available x 1 pc, 4 Weeks of OperationFALSE"

What is triggering this FALSE?

I missed a [ ,"" ]. Fixed.

Fixed an error on the summary that caused a FALSE when not using Small Craft Fuel Rules for all ships. Thanks MyndkryM

Apologies if I am missing something obvious, but in the Screens sheet the options go straight from Deflectors at TL10 to Energy Shields at TL16. There's a step in-between those in High Guard (p.83) for TL14 Energy shields (five times the power and cost, four times the volume) that I can't see how to choose.

Not you. It has been that way for three years. Missed updating from HG16.
