Getting started once your worksheet arrives
Open the file in Excel
The worksheet opens directly in Microsoft Excel. If a yellow security bar appears at the top asking to enable editing, click Enable Editing. The workbook contains formulas but no macros — no security risk.
Visit the tabs in order
Each MERCATUS workbook is organized into a consistent set of tabs:
- License — confirms your purchase, terms of use, version number, and free-updates entitlement.
- Summary — the deal-at-a-glance view that updates automatically as you enter values on the other tabs.
- Read Me — five-minute orientation: what this workbook does, what each tab is for, terminology and glossary.
- Simple — minimal entry tab for fastest deal modeling.
- Buyer — full buyer-side cost stack, fees, intermediary chain.
- Seller — mirror of Buyer for the seller side.
- Intermediaries — broker chain detail; one mandate per side, facilitator brokers below.
- Chain View — full settlement-flow visualization from buyer through chain to seller.
- Reference — glossary, standards, and cross-references.
Choose your pricing model
If your deal is priced as a discount off a benchmark (gold spot, market reference for crypto), use the gross/net convention on the Simple or Buyer tabs. If your deal is priced at a fixed unit rate ($X per unit), use unit-price entry. The workbook tells you which path to take based on what you fill in.
