EndResult® gives the user the tools and complete freedom to develop custom spreadsheets to perform steam plant calculations within popular PC-based spreadsheets. </p> <p>EndResult® Spreadsheet Functions are called the same way standard spreadsheet functions are called. Results are obtained by using either the @ (at) symbol in Lotus® or the = (equals) sign in Microsoft® Excel before each function call. </p> <p>Applications using the EndResult® Spreadsheet Functions can be extended into on-line, real-time applications with the addition of <a href="fperformance.html" target="body">EndResult® Performance Monitoring Software </a>.
