Use this command to find incomplete items in the spreadsheet.
- On the ribbon, from the Tools group on the Home tab, click Scan Estimate.
- In classic view, click Pricing > Scan, or click
on the toolbar.
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.
