Not to hijack this interesting thread , but I found this thread on another forum :

Data Sheets - Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums


It talks about a formula in a kind of spreadsheet template (in Excel) for evaluation/analysis of mineral deposits . as the thread starter has said his purpose is to promote ease of use.

This thread subject matter may be different since he has another different set of data elements , but it might ignite some Aha ! moment in an Excel whiz among you guys !
