Cyclone IV power estimator

[Altera_Forum]

I downloaded cycloneiii_iv_epe.xls and opened it with Excel 2007. I can select Cyclone IV E but no Cyclone IV devices appear. Is there a compatibility issue using <>.xls and Excel 2007 which uses <>.xlsx? Also, none of the buttons like Reset, View Report, etc. appear to work. I am using Quartus 9.1 sp2. Any hints? 

 Cheers, Tom

i've used the EPE in Excel 2007. my guess is that Macros are disabled (they are required for the EPE). Excel may warn you with a drop down menu if you don't have Macros enabled when you open the EPE, or you can go looking to see if Macros are enabled in Excel's options

Thanks for your reply. I tried enabling macros through the trust center before and that didn't seem to work. So I did it again, but this time I saved and reopened EPE and now it works. Thanks again.
