WxChick Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Any thoughts on doing this with a severe weather forecasting tool? I always love text output... Example of a web based one using one model - http://somdweather.c...rucstation=KMIA Mmmm...no plans for that at this point. I have done something like this in the past, but there are some things that are difficult to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isohume Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Great tool. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind I'll share it with my WFO and my Air Force weather unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been shared through several WFOs already...though not really my own yet. I've shown it to most everyone, but havent really made it accessible. I need to do that.

WxChick Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 FYI for all who have downloaded so far, I finished a minor update earlier this week. There were a couple of small issues with the GEFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalba Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Is anyone using OpenOffice with this? I can't seem to get it to work. I mean, it will open and I can see all tabs but the data just never downloads. (I've clicked Load Data with the default Site ID it came with, it just sits there blank) Is there another free software like OpenOffice that someone can recommend? thanks!

It does not currently work with OpenOffice. I dont have OpenOffice, so I'm not sure how macro intensive it is. At some point I may be able to test it out with a version of OO, but unfortunately at this point it isn't compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxChick Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Excellent - just sent this to all of our local stations Thanks. One of my friends is actually in that group and told me that you did. I got around 30 downloads that day. Otherwise would have probably had around 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asthut Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I want to figure out a way to run the forecast sheet on a Mac. I was thinking about buying the software to run Windows on a Mac. I would then get Microsoft Office for windows. Crossing my fingers it works... Has anyone tried this? Any other solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make excel for mac....http://www.microsoft.com/mac/excel And there's always Open office (http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/) or LibreOffice (http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another feature I've been considering adding too. Maybe I'll tackle them both soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asthut Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks WxChick!.. hm8, have you tried running the program on excel for a mac? Also, somewhat off subject, does anyone use parallels or fusion to run windows on a mac. I am trying to decide which one to go with.... I am looking forward to using GRLevel3 and bufkit from home!

Also, somewhat off subject, does anyone use parallels or fusion to run windows on a mac. I am trying to decide which one to go with.... I am looking forward to using GRLevel3 and bufkit from home! It indeed does not work on Excel for Mac (my version is 2011). The macros need to be coded specifically for Mac so those for the Wintel environment will not work. Regarding virtual, I use VMWare Fusion 5.0.2 and it works great. If you share the file across from, say, your Mac desktop, it is a bit flakey but if you drag it to the Windows virtual desktop, it, and other Windows apps, work great. Thanks to WxChick for the fantastic tool. I thought my rolled-up Service/Administration budget spreadsheets were a thing of beauty. This thing puts them to shame...
