This product has known issues with Microsoft Office 2010. In general, we advise to switch to the
Safety Stock Calculator (LSSC) which, despite its name, provides all the forecasting features of the Lokad Excel add-in.
LSSC is faster and more reliable. In addition, LSSC can import data from
Microsoft Excel too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How to update Lokad Add-In for Microsoft® Excel®?
A: Just install a new version over the old one. Files will be updated as needed.
Q: How to uninstall Lokad Add-In for Microsoft® Excel®?
A: You can use
Control Panel \ Programs and Features to uninstall the software.
Q: Does it work with Microsoft® Excel® 2003 or older?
A: No, but if you are forecasting sales, you can use
LSSC that supports Excel 2003.
Q: What does
Error column mean?
A: Error represents Lokad's estimate of the forecast accuracy and can range from 0 to 1. A lower error estimate is better. "Error 0.28", expressed in percents, would mean: "Forecast error is estimated to be 28%".
Q: How can I lower the error and improve quality of my forecasts?
A: The most common reason for getting high error estimates is that Lokad Forecasting Services do not have enough data in order to deliver more precise forecast. For example, this could happen, when you are trying to forecast sales for the next few weeks, while supplying only a few days of history data. Sending more history data to Lokad Services and providing
Lokad Support with additional feedback on your experience will help to improve the quality of your forecasts.
