The Sweet Sixteen Ratio Analyzer tool also contains a downloadable MS Excel file. Clicking the 'Download' link at the bottom left will allow you to open this file in your browser window or download and save it onto your computer. It comes with sample data from the EWS Farms case farm already entered. This will provide a direct reference to materials in the textbook as well as provide an example for how to enter your own data. If you choose to enter in your own financial data, this file will calculate ratios for your operation. If you wish to save the file with new data, we recommend you use the 'Save As' option under the File menu in Excel to save it with using a different file name thus preserving the original file and the sample data. This tool does require macros to be enabled in order use all of its features.
