I have not found a way of entering engineering values (M,k,m,u,n,p etc) directly into Excel (if anyone kn

extremely pleased to know how! fred@fundes.co.uk ) so have concocted an entry (and result display) s
Enter values in the YELLOW cells - these are summed horizontally (for example entering 1uF and 100
