This is no Macro design version, used it in in case of Macro forbidden of your excel could not be solved. The different with the data auto extended Macro version is in the Manufacturing sheet, in no Macro version all the designed production processes are disclosure, total 16 manufacturing processes designed for the main manufacturing processes assessment or sampling manufacturing processes assessment, for almost no manufacturer/factory has identified/designed main manufacturing processes more than 16, in actual using, in the process selection the first 'End' selection, will disable all the following selection data entry. E.g. you have 8 main manufacturing processes to be assessed, then the first 'End' selection is in process 9, so the processes from 1 to 8 are data entry enable, processes from 9 to 16 are data entry disable, regardless of any selection from process 9 to 16. You can try it to get the meaning.
