Purpose

The purpose of the "ProPricer Automation Tool (PPAT)" – Excel Add-In is to enable faster analysis of ProPricer Excel outputs provided in proposal packages and/or generated by ProPricer users.

The Add-In automates some of the transformation and formatting of ProPricer based Excel files. The Add-In is intended to increase quality, consistency, and efficiency when developing custom Excel cost models originating from ProPricer. The automation tools provide an enhanced starting point for position development and further manual editing.
