I've put together a spreadsheet on how the calendar should be applied historically. I'm especially making an effort to apply it to the 2300 days but I'm having trouble with the starting point. If anyone would like to help, let me know and I'll be glad for the input. My email address is Mark.Shipowick@sympatico.ca.

My spreadsheet on the AB calendar is almost ready to publish/release. I have some editing to do to add commentary on how it works and improve its appearance but it has the basics now and agrees with the Julian day count and the 2300 day dates. Its backbone is the astronomical solar and lunar years. The eight year solar and lunar day counts of the AB are listed and cross-referenced to the Julian day counts for each 8 year cycle for 6000 years and where the dates for the 2300 days are concerned each year of the eight year cycle is listed as well according to AB rules. All values in the sheet are calculated by formulas derived from the rules of the AB calendar. It seems to work. Once I’ve added some notes and tidied it up, I’ll forward it to anyone interested to critique it. It should be ready in a week or two I hope.

Mark,

I would be interested in seeing this.

It took a little longer than expected. I'll try sending it to you now Daryl. (Second try.) I've trimmed it down to about 9MB. It has about 12K records in the main sheet because I included half year calculations for about 6K years. Originally I was only going to give dates for most 8 year cycles, but decided it would be more useful to show dates for all lunar half years. If it is bounced, check my website in a month or so. I'm hoping to post an FTP link or something similar so that it can be downloaded and/or shared.

What type of a file is it?

I thought it might take me a month to make some changes to my site but I was able to make several of them today. You can download it from the site now. It's an Excel file. Here is the link to the article on the calendar.

The download link to the calendar itself is in the first sentence of the article.

Mark.

I downloaded it, however, it was smaller in file size than I thought it would be.

I've trimmed it down a bit to 7.75MB. As I write this, I'm uploading the lastest version. It's identical to the one you have now so far as the formulas and dates are concerned but I've made some corrections and clarifications to the documentation and comments and improved the layout a little. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the upload with my slow connection.

I've been making some revisions to my spreadsheet/calendar and am drafting a paper on it. I don't have a web site now but I'll be glad to email copies of both if someone is interested. My address is Mark.Shipowick@gmail.com. If you're viewing the thread for the first time, I'd start with pages 21 and 22 and then read from the beginning.

As this thread was referenced in another thread, I am bumping this thread.
