- If there are no data in the database, an empty cell is inserted.
- If the sensor is disconnected, "-999" is inserted.
- If the device is not accessible, "-998" is inserted.
- Use other sheets in the template to analyze your data (ideally producing one page ready for printing).
- When the template is loaded next time, current data are inserted into the first sheet and MS Excel updates the graphs and tables in other sheets.
- Even with lots of data, the report can be prepared and printed within 90 seconds.
