Just for grins, here is a handy Excel sheet set up to be a self-calculating bill of materials. Play with it and see if you like it.
Normally, I hide columns I and J so that it prints nicely on an 8.5 x 11 sheet. One of those columns is needed only once and the other is a calculated value of interest to no one. Once all entries are made, I lock the sheet.
<Matbill.0.unprotect> is an unlocked blank sheet (careful - you can overwrite the formulas). Matbill.0 is a locked blank. Matbill.1 and Matbill.2 are worksheets I have used for previous projects.
