Refinate
Quickly make lists more readable and make them
compatible with downstream processing while reducing errors.
Revision 2.0
Sort and Count Items (Including Delimited
Items) • Find and Manage Duplicates • Rearrange Lists • Join Cells • Split
Cells • Log Changes • Much More
Refinate
is for everyone who works with lists. Use it to verify, modify and create
lists. A unique strength of Refinate is its ability to operate on "regular"
comma-delimited items as well as indexed items such as R1, R2, R4-12.
This makes it especially well-suited for working with product assembly lists
(BOM) that include reference designators. And for this reason, some features
are described in terms of how to use them when working with assembly lists.
Refinate works with any list pasted or
opened into Excel. Simply drag the
mouse to select items of interest and click a button to:
• locate duplicates
• automatically record and display changes
• determine actual quantities
• identify missing items
• automatically generate different list versions based on do-not-includes
(e.g. new assembly versions)
• re-format into a consistent standard
• make comparisons
• rearrange lists horizontally or vertically with drag and click assistance
• automatically convert lists so that all data for each unique part number
is placed on a single row (as a record)
• expand range notation to show individual identities (or group individual
indexed items into ranges)
• sort every node of netlists
• use the new parsing feature for importing lists
• much more...
Send the verified original or the
re-formatted output to the downstream process.
Revision
2.0 of Refinate has many
new features but perhaps the most significant
new feature is Query.
It will automatically find, tag and bring to focus each fault so that it can
be edited, deleted or just left with a tag for later reference. A history of
edits will be logged into a visible comment tag at each edited location and
these comments can be included in the print-out. This automated feature is
closely related to the new manual Query feature. Now, you can locate any
item even if the indexed item (e.g refdes) resides within a hyphenated range
(Excel's normal FIND would not see it). This Query feature has made it
possible to eliminate the step of "painting" commas at the end of each cell.
Just select the cells of interest and click to count and/or re-format them.
Refinate
dramatically cuts back the tedious work and errors when modifying and
verifying listed information.

for Excel 97 or newer.
