Talent Trees in Excel

By Dr Lucky, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I tend to make a lot of spreadsheets and a while ago, I thought that making a dynamic talent tree viewer in Excel would be an interesting challenge. It was something I fooled around with for a while and I eventually got it to a point where I was really pretty happy with how it looked - it's still Excel, but it is reasonably polished.

I think Doc, the Weasel's sheets look way better, but since he isn't interested in making more of them, I thought I would release mine in case anyone wanted it. It's up to date through Savage Spirits with all Talent Trees and Signature Ability Trees.

Because this is built on a drop-down menu, it doesn't work well on things that aren't actual Excel. I built it in Office 2016 but it should be back compatible through at least Office 2007. However, it likely won't work well or look right on your mobile Excel viewer, Google's Excel viewer, or Numbers on a Mac. As set up, everything should be set up to print correctly to a single page, but confirm that shrink to fit is selected before you print.

Also, nobody but me has really looked at this file. If there are typos or something, shoot me a PM. I didn't do much editing but I did correct a few of the most obvious errors and typos from the originals. Entering all this made me realize how inconsistent some of FFG's templating is for talents - if I'm feeling especially motivated at some point, I may try to standardize everything in the sheet.

I hope people find this helpful:
