    Hi Charles

    Having been a PP member for 4 years welcome to your 1st thread.

    I regret to say that Excell is not recognised planning software.

    Asta is one of the best but you will need to invest in a proper licence.

    Best regards

    Charles,

    I agree with Mike -I have seen excel wizzes in the past use lots of complex macros and formulae to approximate planning software, but it always looks like what it is: something cobbled together, not robust, and not very professional.

    If you need it to be presented well, the only thing you should be using Excel for is for generating graphs & curves, not generating the schedule.

    If you’re just starting out and can’t afford a lisence of your own just yet, many software companies will let you download a free trial version for a month or so which, though limited in many ways, will definitely be a whole lot better than excel.
