Here is a Sample Model file with 223 races in it:

http://rdss2.com/rdss.leverage.pace/Model.Database.2024-V1.0.Sample2.zip

(http://rdss2.com/rdss.leverage.pace/Model.Database.2024-V1.0.Sample2.zip)Download this then extract the Model file from it and place it in your C:\Rdss22\Models\ folder. Enable Excel to run it using the process described in the Software Download thread above.

Watch the tutorial on how to interact with it to ask different questions, see different stats.

This is just the very first - and too quick - tutorial on using this. I will introduce much more info when I get back from vacation later this month!

Please Note: Windows Security typically initially restricts or disables macros in macro-enabled Excel (and Open Office ) files such as this Model Workbook.

To enable macros in this file, please do the following:

1. Go to the C:\Rdss22\Models\ folder and find a Model file -- e.g. Model.Database.2024-V1.0.Sample1.xlsm -- or find the original unpopulated Model Template file c:\Rdss22\Models\Templates\Model.Database.2024-V1.0 (TEMPLATE-Make a Copy!).xlsm installed by RDSS.

2. Right-click on that file then choose Properties. On the General Tab, you should see info like this:

53670

In the Security section near the bottom, check the Unblock box, to enable macros to run. Then click Apply then OK. You should then be able to open the Model Database Excel file (in Excel or Open Office) and use the Import! button on the main Data sheet to import Excel files created by RDSS into your Model Database workbook.

3. If you don't enable macros for this file, you should expect to see something like this message below - and you will not be able to import files created by RDSS into your Excel Model database:
