    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hi IanT, Thanks for the feedback. At some point I'll find time to combine a number of spreadsheets (soap, bath bombs, candles, etc.) that I use. It will be a bit of a task and I need to find the time and enthusiasm for it. :-) If you have any issues with the soap spreadsheet please feel free...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hi jack915, I hope you like the spreadsheet. It takes a little bit of setting up to be accurate for you (your prices for ingredients, your mould dimensions etc.). The latest version should be on the fourth page of this thread. This ought to be the link...

    Hi Saffron, I hope you like the spreadsheet. In the New Year I plan to consolidate some of my various spreadsheets. Currently I have the soap one that you downloaded. I have others which are not nearly so complicated/comprehensive for Candles, Bath Bombs, Shower Steamers, and wax melts. Like...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hi Harry Potter, I’m not sure what you mean? This thread is regarding a spreadsheet (Excel) that can be used for designing recipes for CP soap among other things. I have other spreadsheets I use for making candles, melts, bath bombs and shower steamers. My last post was about this and whether it...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hi Whillow, The more info you can give me the better I'll be able to help. If you can tell me what operating system you're using (Windows 10 or 11, Mac, Unix) and what you see when you open the file that's a great start. If you could also tell me what you've tried already regarding enabling...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hey Whillow, could you send me screenshots of what you see when you open the spreadsheet? I have others using it without issue once they allow macros to be used. It may be something simple like a security setting that's been missed.

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hey, It must be Sunday night (it is in Australia) as I'm uploading another tweaked version of the Soap Designer tool. I've improved the batch size calculator and one or 2 other little things that weren't as good as they could have been. There will come a day when I don't find things to improve...

    Bright colours in CP soaps

    Quick question. I've never produced a soap with bright colours. I've been pretty random about what types of colours I've purchased over the years as well where I've purchased them from. This non scientific approach has always left me a little disappointed. If I want bright colours (verging on...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Sorry, I had a technical issue at my end that stopped the file uploading correctly - or that's how it looked at this end of my not-so-good connection. I thought it safer to take the file down again in case of a problem. I think all is well at my end now so I'll try uploading again before heading...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    This might be my last chance to post for a little while. So, I thought I'd push this out before I take a break. I bought Carrie Seibert's excellent book 'How to make Shaving Soap, Charting Your Course to the Land of Lather'. Having read it I decided to make some shaving soap. Of course, this...

    Did it work for you in Google Sheets? If not, I've completely reworked it to make it as backwards compatible as I can. LINK

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    Hi Folks (and especially you Whillow :) ), It has taken me waaaay longer than I expected but I went back to basics and have removed any of those troublesome 'modern' functions I was using and replaced them with decades old functions that should play nicely on even the oldest versions of Excel...

    Soapmaking Spreadsheet Recipe Tool

    So, I saw the following when I opened the file on my daughter's PC. I looked up what to do about this and found: https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/enable-disable-macros-excel/ One page suggested using the "Properties" (right clicking on the file and down at the bottom of the...
