• Each kit folder has the Excel file, the Google Sheets file and a how-to PDF with steps for Excel and Google Sheets.
• KitgridStudio-License.pdf and KitgridStudio-Download-Instructions.pdf sit in the main folder.

Tested before release
Every kit was tested with its sample data in Excel (Excel for the web) and Google Sheets before release: no formula errors, and 13 to 22 expected results matched per kit. No macros, no add-ins, no external links. Input cells are blue text on light amber. In the Excel file, formula cells are locked with no password so they don't get typed over by accident.

Who it's for
Painters and painting contractors who want estimating and job tracking in one set of files.
