MicroSoft Excel ReStackor Demo

There are three steps to install the ReStackor demo:

  1. Download the zip file for Microsoft Excel.

  2. Open the zip file and copy the ReStackor folder to the C drive. 

    • Note: ReStackor and the embedded excel macros are hard coded to operate on the C:\ReStackor path. The spreadsheets in C:\ReStackor\Excel can be copied, moved and run from any directory but the ReStackor code must be located on the C:\ReStackor\Code\restackor.exe path. ReStackor will automagically be on that path if you simply copy the unzipped ReStackor folder to the C drive.

  3. Copy the excel file C:\ReStackor\Excel\ReStackor.xls to some other directory like C:\My Calcs\ReStackor

    • Open c:\My Calcs\ReStackor\ReStackor.xls and you are ready to rock!
