Are these Excel Spreadsheets really free? Yes! If an Excel download says it’s free, it’s free; you’re only agreeing to the disclaimer of warranty listed below. Why is it free? Because the owner and founder of the Website IntactAuto.com, an individual still working within a retail automotive dealership wants his and others Excel worksheets developed over the years shared within the Automotive Industry. Many of the free Excel downloads are simply beta tests, testing the level of interest they may generate. This in turn determines if additional programming time should be initiated to a specific data management idea and converted to a reasonably priced sellable product. This is why your questions and comments are always appreciated.

The process of downloading a free Excel spreadsheet from IntactAuto is as simple as clicking on the download link. * Right-Click your mouse on the link: Blue - Download Workbook Link * Select, "Save Target as" * Select either, "Desktop" or "My Documents" * Click, "Save" with your mouse How do I use this spreadsheet? Its a known fact, individuals do not like reading directions, but I've spent an extensive amount of time developing instructions and creating comment boxes throughout these programs, please read them. If they don't answer your question it's my fault, E-mail me and I'll be happy to help and update the program to reflect your question. The intent of these spreadsheets are to simplify managing an auto dealership, not complicate its daily routines. Must I have Microsoft® Excel installed on my computer? Yes, you must have Microsoft® Excel installed on your system to actively use workbooks, these are spreadsheet templates not the actual Microsoft Excel program. When trying to make an entry, I get the message the cell is protected? The usage of these spreadsheets has been simplified by incorporating color coding within the worksheets. Only cells Yellow in Color allow you to input an entry, occasionally these cells may turn Red in color if an error entry occurs, these are the only cells that allow an entry. All remaining cells are either informational or calculations. I'm not able to access pages in a Macro driven workbook I've downloaded? The reason is, Excel® has within its program a Security Setting for Macros - Visual Basic Program Code. You will need to adjust your security settings. This is simply done by opening Excel and on ther Toolbar click on "Tools", next click on "Macros", then click on "Security" and set the Security Level to Medium. Where are the Workbook - Worksheet Tabs? Some of the more extensive programs incorporate "Forms Buttons" which simplify spreadsheet usage. Accessing different worksheets or reports is done by simply clicking on a forms button, not by selecting worksheet tabs. I'm interested in Purchasing a Workbook with an End-User License Fee. How does it work? Call ... Call ... Call ... 716-445-9721, E-mail is checked often, but if you’re sitting at your computer and you’ve found the Spreadsheet you needed yesterday, even waiting an hour for a response can seem like an eternity. I truly believe serving interested individuals immediately is the key to the success of this Website. As for the actual purchase, tell me the Excel Program Code you’re interested in and then send me an e-mail simply stating which program code you’re interested in. I generate a PayPal invoice which accepts PayPal and Charge Card payments and send it to your e-mail address. Upon payment, I in turn send you a Website link with a User Name and Password. You then use the Website link, User Name and Password to access a secure server to download the Excel program of interest. The whole process can usually be completed within 10 minutes. Why are Dates Not Correct and/or Properly Formatting Correctly? It’s usually only one reason. These workbooks are currently designed ~ formatted for only the English (United States) region and your computer system may by default be formatting Currency and Dates for a different region, e.g. English (United Kingdom). United State users please contact IntactAuto Holdings, LLC if having date problems. There are two ways to resolve this problem. Specifically request from IntactAuto® Holding, LLC a workbook designed for a different region or prior to using this Excel workbook, close all currently active programs and temporarily change your computer region setting to English (United States). How to Change Region: Close all currently active programs Click on the Start Button and Locate “My Computer”, Click on “Change a Setting” Locate & Click on “Regional and Language Options” within the "Control Panel" Within "Regional Options – Standards and Format" use dropdown, select English (Untied States). Click “Apply” Reverse this process when done using workbook, before access other programs on your computer. Don't like reading instructions? After speaking to hundreds of individuals who have attempted to use these free Excel downloads I’ve come to the conclusion; individuals just don’t like reading instructions. If your one of them? Make a phone call, I’d be more than happy to talk you through the initial setup of anyone of these Automotive Specific Excel worksheets, so that you don’t become discouraged and miss the opportunity of utilizing one of these great management tools. Call me, I enjoy chatting and you don’t even have to say your name ,since I don’t truly care to sell you anything, I merely take pleasure in sharing practical automotive business solutions and hopefully money-making, profitable automotive dealership management ideas online. |
