Scan command
Use this command (View tab > Windows group, or in classic view, Pricing menu > Scan Estimate) to find incomplete items
in the spreadsheet. The Sage Estimating software checks for takeoff quantities, prices,
amounts, and the subcontractor name if an item has a subcontract amount.
An item is incomplete if any cell contains a zero or blank entry.
Tips:
- Each scan begins at your
current position in the spreadsheet and stops at the first incomplete
cell. If necessary, the spreadsheet expands to show the item.
- Continue scanning and fixing
until there are no incomplete entries.
- To have the scan skip cells
that are intentionally blank, enter a hyphen (-) or an asterisk (*).
- Upon finding an incomplete
entry in a hidden column, Sage Estimating shows the hidden column and positions
you there.
- If a column is set with no
decimal places showing, the scan stops for cells containing values less
than 50 cents.
- From the keyboard, press F7.
