Welcome to nCalc Official Help
HELP nCalc (Notes + Calculator) - English
Projections, forecasts and simulations.
nCalc is a simple Notepad that allows you to perform simple and complex
calculations in order to make projections, simulations and forecasts in any
field.
From coin counting to the Bussiness Plan, nCalc adapts to all needs quickly and
easily.
NCalc features for Windows
You can insert many calculations and get an overview.
You can use the partial results to check and structure the calculation.
Every single operation can be commented.
You can save the worksheet for later use.
Spreadsheets can be used to create templates for use on any occasion.
Works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 and Windows 10.
With nCalc we have 3 choices:
1 - Notepad: The first is to use the program as a simple Notepad to take notes;
2 - Notepad + Calculator: The second is to use Notepad to take notes and at the
same time make simple calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division);
3 - nCalc Script: The third is to write applications in VbScript, to perform complex
calculations, which interact with nCalc;
Notepad
Notepad works like a normal Blocnote. Just write the notes and then save the
file (.txt) in the location you want. Example, let's write "Hello World" and
then save the file with a name of your choice.
Notepad +
Calculator
When taking notes you can also perform simple calculations. Let's take a
practical example, write in nCalc the following:
Appetizers
+10
First dishes
Spaghetti, Raviole, Penne
+3 +6
+5
The total will be 24.
It will be displayed at the top in the field called TotX.
If we select the text, pressing the left mouse button on a specific area, the
bottom of the selection will show the total of the selection. The field in the
bottom part is called TotY.
TotX and TotY are 2 important objects, because they allow nCalc to derive a
value through a VbScript function.
If we want to use comments, useful in certain situations, we can use the symbols
# or ' (shift + question mark).
In some cases the sign of comments is mandatory, as in this case, for example:
Cell phone charging
+10 Made at number 333/333333333
In this case it follows the / sign and to prevent the program from interpreting
it as a division it is mandatory to use the comment in this way:
+10 # for the number 333/333333333
or in this way:
+10 'for the number 333/333333333
Or we can prevent the program from interpreting the division (or any other operation) by simply adding a space:
+10 for the number 333 / 333333333
With dot:
+10 EURO Effettuata al numero 333.333333333
Write a date:
03/09/2009
03.09.2019 or 03 / 09 / 2019
or
# 03/09/2019
nCalc and VbScript
In nCalc you can add VbScript codes and make the program suitable for more
complex operations. For example if we want to calculate a complex string we can
do it this way:
1. Create a new Worksheet by pressing the Save button.
2. Now press the F4 button on the
keyboard or click on the nScript Module icon or Menu> Insert nCalc Script ...
Copy the following:
A = 2+6+3*8
echo = A
Close the module, Save, and press the
F5 key on the keyboard, or click on the icon on the Right Arrow or Menu> Run
nCalc Script ...
The result will be 32.
As mentioned above, nCalc can use VbScript, let's see how:
# nCalc by Rosario Sancetta
# Ver. 2.00 - Copyright 2019 - All rigths reserved.
This is an example:
Echo = "Ciao a tutti "
Echo = Echo & "Io sono nCalc"
Note: Echo
prints the text on the screen.
To connect the scripts to nCalc we can use the TotX and TotY objects. Copy the
code below into the nCalc Script module and press F5:
'This data in the Worksheet:
+10
+20
'These data within the Calc Script Module
'Assign the TotX total from +10 and +20 to variable A
'TotX is the total of the inside sheet.
A = TotX
'Add new information
B = A + 4 * 8 + 21
'The total will
be shown below in the TotY field
TotY = B
'TotY is the
subtotal that is shown by selecting some calculations with the mouse or with
VbScript.
We will thus have the total document total (TotX) at the top, while the total of
the document calculated with VbScript (TotY) at the bottom.
Instructions nCalc and VbScript
To be written in the nCalc Script module.
Echo =
Print a text or a result to Video.
Example:
Echo = "Hello"
Example of concatenation:
Echo = "Hello"
Echo = Echo & "World!"
Risultato: Hello World!
Example:
A = 12*2
Echo = A
Result: 24
Text
Manages the editor on the fly.
Example, in the editor we have the value MyDate. We can replace it with today's date in the following way:
Text = replace(Text, MyDate, Date)
nCalc
We can change some settings of nCalc. Example to bring nCalc to the 1000 position of the screen:
nCalc.top = 1000
It is possible to create very complex applications in VbScript thanks to the
support of nCalc, however, please refer to the Visual Basic Script guide that
can be easily consulted on the Internet by searching with Google.
