    A check mark appears beside the option name, indicating that it is turned on.

Step 2: Use the Enter Dimensions window during Quick takeoff:

Sage Estimating (SQL) uses the formula assigned to each item to calculate the takeoff quantities and then displays them in the spreadsheet Quantity column.

Any items that do not have a formula assigned to them will have a blank quantity on the spreadsheet.
