    Question Can I create a line drawing using cell values?

    I have an estimating spreadsheet that has various sizes and dimensions of lumber on it.
    I would like to know if anyone has a way that I can create a grid on a new tab with a "1x1" grid and with a fixed start cell, be able to make lines appear on the new tab that represent the lumber sizes.

    for instance
    panel.jpg

    the image above is a fixed grouping of lines and the numbers are populated by the estimate template.
    Problem is if I need a tall panel or a square panel it will never be to scale. I m hoping there is a way to automate the process so I can have scale drawings.

    Any ideas?

    Hi BVT,

    There might be an add-on product that does what you want. I don't know how to do it using normal Excel. See:

    or

    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
