How to Use the Tool
Macro Buttons & Usage Notes
⚡ Macro Commands
The spreadsheet includes quick-action buttons that run macro commands — clearing rows, resetting fields, and other common actions. Each button has a plain-English description next to it explaining what it does.
Macros must be enabled for these buttons to work. When opening the file, click "Enable Content" in the Excel security bar if prompted.
📋 Usage Notes Tab
A dedicated Usage Notes tab inside the workbook provides a detailed step-by-step walkthrough of the tool. Read this tab first if you're using the tool for the first time.
Red arrow indicators in key fields have mouseover comments that explain that section. Look for the red triangles in cell corners.
🚚 Freight Notes Tab
A separate Freight Notes tab gives the full breakdown of how freight is calculated — including all assumptions, carrier rules, and edge cases baked into the estimates.
👥 Customer Quotes
You can use the tool to produce customer-facing quotes. Enter your customer's multiplier in the Discount % field instead of your account discount. The net pricing will calculate accordingly.

Common Questions
The buttons aren't working — what do I do?+
Macros need to be enabled for the buttons to function. When you open the file, look for a yellow bar at the top of Excel that says "Enable Content" — click it. If you don't see that bar, check your Excel Trust Center settings (File → Options → Trust Center → Trust Center Settings → Macro Settings) and set it to enable macros.
Can I use this on a Mac?+
The tool is designed for Microsoft Excel on Windows. Mac Excel supports .xlsm files and most macros, but some button functionality may be limited. If you run into issues on a Mac, contact your White River rep — they can run the quote for you.
How do I quote LCDs (Lineal Component Designs)?+
Enter each individual component of the LCD as its own line item in the Item (SKU) column. The tool will calculate each piece separately and roll them into the total.
Are the freight estimates guaranteed?+
No — freight estimates are good-faith approximations based on Delivery State and order value. Actual freight will be confirmed on your order acknowledgment. Estimates assume commercial delivery with a loading dock; residential or liftgate service will add cost.
I found an error or a bug — who do I contact?+
Report bugs or data errors to Nick Bell at NBell@WhiteRiver.com. Please include the version number (shown in the filename) and a description of what happened so it can be fixed in the next release.
Disclaimer
This tool is a good-faith effort to accurately estimate and quote White River products. Errors can and do occur. Pricing and freight are estimates only — all orders are subject to confirmation on the order acknowledgment. Please report any bugs or inaccuracies to NBell@WhiteRiver.com.
