We have the entire suite of EI spreadsheets and use them whenever we can. They are locked and cannot be modified so they don't fit every application but they save a lot of time when they match the design scenario. I have only found one error in the code since I have been using them although I have not used all of them yet. The woodbeam.xls does not report the correct Fb for timbers thicker than 2". I pointed this out and they sent me a corrected spreadsheet the same day.

 

They are really just one more tool in the box but not a stand-alone solution in my opinion.
