I made a Little Excel spreadsheet for calculating ships into Shipbucket scale.

Functions
- It is primary made for metric drawers (like me).
- The sheet is made for Springsharp users. When you have calculated your ship in SS. Just put the numbers in spreadsheet and you will see how many pixels it should be.

Notes:
1. Quuite simple to use. change the bold numbers inte your own and the answer will be given in italics the cells(s) next to it.

2. When you scale a Blueprint, you need to put in the ships true length in meters in B2 and the ships length in pixels in your blueprint in G2, the multiply the drawing by the the numbers given.

I am a quite poor programmer, but it is a nice tool to have whem you do you your ships

A wonderful idea psilander, but when I press the link, all I got was some gibberish.

A: Save link as rather than clicking ;)
B: There are some errors with the actual file when opening in Office 2007, not sure if they're formulaic or something else.

I wrote a Python script that does the same thing, altough it has the advantage to work on any platform with Python 3 installed, it needs the command line to be run, not the best thing for inexperienced users.

One of the other things I've done on mine is have the cells as follows:

Cell 1: "m:" Cell 2: Value Cell 3: "px:" (for instance) Cell 4: This concatenates cells 1 and 3 to get an index key - this form the basis of a vlookup to get the ratio to be applied to cell 2, letting you go straight from metres to pixels (or any other measurement you define ratios for)
