Wildcat Penetrometer Data Reduction

Wildcat Penetrometer Data Reduction

Wildcat Penetrometer Data Reduction

(OP)
We use a dynamic cone penetrometer to test shallow soil strength via correlation to the Standard Penetration Test.  The manufacturer's spreadsheet provided to us for this use is an old Lotus 123 version, the macros of which do not work in Excel.  My question is, has anyone developed a working Excel spreadsheet for version 5 and higher that reduces the blow count data?  Secondly, would you be willing to share this with us (we will gladly pay a fee) or direct us to someone who can translate the macros into Excel?  We have already tried the manufacaturer's suggestions for contacts with no results.  Thanks!

As a follow up, I did manage to contact the correct people at Triggs and they have provided me with an updated spreadsheet that works with newer versions of excel.  If anyone is interested in the contacts I will gladly provide them.  Regards to all!
