This is the first release of QDV 2024 (7.24.0001) which is version 7.23.1141 with added documentation as issued April 19, 2024.
Important: Estimates used by QDV 2024 have a new format and cannot be read anymore by previous versions. At opening time QDV will prompt you before carrying out the migration.
Please migrate all your templates to make sure they don't need conversion each time you create a new estimate.
Latest official versions are always available here: http://www.iaes-software.com/downloads/Setup_QDV_7.exe
If you need a beta version, you can get it here: http://www.iaes-software.com/downloads/Setup_QDV_7_Beta.exe
The most important change brought to this version is the full support for XLSX files. The workbooks are now stored internally using XLSX format instead of XLS. This eases exchanges with Excel, allows new formulas and enables larger worksheets in many places (Free sheets, Time Frame sheets, Planer Data sheets)
A new module is now available in the QDV Tools For Excel: The "Procurement module"
The user interface of QDV is also available in several new languages as shown below:
