Dragon Size Calculator

Post by Yakima »

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... 0MUE#gid=0

Should work for meters and feet but relies on percents not ratios.

I don't know how to take the raw decimal feet number and have it turn into a x'x" type number...I don't even know if Excel can do that but yeah.

How to use it...only the green fields are changeable (or should be). If you just want to know the height to shoulder, put in the percent differance (for Pernese i use 27% but it needs to be in decimal form for now), and then how long your dragon is.

Hope this helps more than just me. :D

So, is anyone interested in a newer version where you can select what species you're converting? Becuase I'll need information for that unless I can set it up on google docs and people can add to it...If you want to add any species of yours (including if you do not agree with my Pernese ratios), please fill out this form and I'll have it available on the next update otherwise you can probably add it to the second sheet yourself (which will have a calculator on it, too...plus a how-to. :P)
Species Name:
Height:
Head:
Neck:
Body:
Tail:
One Wing Length:
Shoulder Width:
You don't need to include them all if you don't want to. The others are really just their for fun, but the height is a must. :D

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0K2eZW ... NMbjA/edit (I think you'll have to download it to use the dropdown menu...grrr)

Anyway, here is what I've come up with so far. I wouldn't mind some input and if anyone knows how to make Excel tell you what size range the number is in (there is a sheet that has the size range charts from JKat's Page), please let me know. I'm using Excel...(can probably make a version in Open Office, too, when i have this one working...)

And I dunno, maybe if this is actually useful to someone other than me, it can be added to the main website somehow...:P

So this is pretty much the final Calculator if anyone wants to use it. I have (most) of my species already in the Species Database and I need to fix the Nexus Size Charts. I would like to somehow make it show the size-length category of the selected species (which I'm sure is possible but the formula will probably give me a headache.)

I dunno if anyone else would/will find this useful but I'm pretty proud of myself for getting those dratted formulas and drop downs to work! :D

If anyone who cannot use Excel wants a copy of this, please let me know and I'll work on converting it to OpenOffice Format.
I am also making the Google Version work. :D

Re: Dragon Size Calculator V3!!!

Post by Yakima »

Yep, I have another version out. Much easier I hope. Let me know if you find any errors (other than spelling...). :P I'm not very good with formulas it was/is starting to be a very complex little spreesheet.

Google thinks its too big...so you'll have to down load it...*grumbles*
