I do plan to make a simple Excel spreadsheet or something of that nature that can be used to import data.
Understood that the end-user program will be much more complex than an excel sheet. I was just referring to the data input method, and the database storage method for data that has been input by the ap.
Good luck with this man, I can see it really taking off, especially if you make the functions applicable to any field, given that each algorithm could be altered to perform different functions. A salinity function could be altered to show alkalinity of soils, or a DO tracking function could be altered to track sulfur content of waste water at mining locations....making your program applicable to almost everything that land/pond/whatever managers need to keep track of. I know environmental lawyers who would kill for an easy-to-digest reporting software that would boil things out into environmental impact statements faster than engineers can read them.
sorry to hijack if i have hijacked
