Column Reinforcing Coordinates
I'm writing a reinforced concrete spreadsheet for the design of columns and am having difficulty coding the coordinates for location of reinforcing steel for the condition where the reinforcing is equally distributed to all four faces. Is there a relatively simple manner of doing this?
I've determined that the number of bars has to comply with:
MOD((N-4)/4) = 0,
The actual coding for the coords can be done, but is very cumbersome; is there a simple manner of doing this?

RE: Column Reinforcing Coordinates
The formulas will work for up to 10 bars/face, but the chart X ranges are set to 4 bars to suite the example shown. That's because of Excel's annoying trick of automatically changing an XY graph into a line graph if finds any text in the X range, even if the text is "".
Other than that, it seem sto work OK.
