Star Calculator (Excel spreadsheet)

[HerrÅberg]

Hello my name is Kristoffer and I am new here :)
I have made a spreadsheet in MS Excel to compare star-data and need some help try it out. Testing.
This filesize is about 15 mb (4,5mb zip-packed)

I have not taken any astronomy class or something like that. So I am not 100% sure the formulas I've made (looking them up on the internet) are correct. I have not set any password on thiss spreadsheet, feel free to use it how you want.

I hope you like this sheet.

How about a link to a page which doesn't download something? What if the zip file is a virus? Can we trust you?

That link goes to my personal webserver @ http://kumlabunkern.no-ip.com/annat/
There is no virus in the file. Its a spreadsheet compressed as a zip-file. You can trust me :)
The file contains some macros, for sorting constellations, adding stars etc
If you don't want the macros, you can just turn it off.
But as I said, no viruses!
