This Toastmaster Ah counter employs a macro in Excel. You will be warned that enabling all macros is not recommended. You should probably change that option after closing the file. How to enable macros: Click the File tab. or Alt+F Click Options. or arrow up or down until Options Click Trust Center, and then click Trust Center Settings. or arrow up twice to Trust Center, then Shift+Tab 3 times to Trust Center Options In the Trust Center, click Macro Settings. or arrow down to the 6th choice Macro settings. choose Enable all macros Click or tab to OK How to use the file At the top of each column (row 1), Put the person's name. Below their name type in any filler word they say. Feel to use whatever abbreviations you want as long as you remember them i.e instead of typing in "you know", you might use "yk" for brevity. Continue down the column with each new filler they utter. With the next speaker, just start at the top of the next column to the right. IMPORTANT: Don't skip any columns. The macro that will sum up the words for you stops when it finds the next column in the top row empty. For that reason, not only do not skip a column but be sure you are in the top row when you type the person's name. Once all speakers and evaluators have finished, you can run the macro. The easiest way is to press the keyboard shortcut Control+H. Alternatively, press Alt+F8 and then Tab over until you see the "Run" option. It's a good idea to mock up a few speakers and practice before using the sheet in a live meeting. If you have any questions, contact me at jroan1@tampabay.rr.com. Happy counting!
