Here are some general rules for using the Costing Tool:

• Only enter information into cells that are white.
• DO NOT ENTER INFORMATION INTO GRAY CELLS.
• DO NOT EDIT FORMULAS IN GRAY CELLS.
• DO NOT INSERT ROWS.
• DO NOT SORT.
• When you see a small arrow in a cell, this means there is a dropdown list. Click on the arrow to open the menu. Click on an item in the list to select it.
• The first column/s on some worksheets (Activity Rates, Machinery Cost Estimator and Base Year Cost Analysis) are frozen to allow for scrolling to the right without losing track of the record you are entering information about.

We have included usage notes at the bottom of most of the worksheets (tabs), but consult the User's Guide for more information. Some of the worksheets are long and may require you to scroll down to see the Notes section.
