Lotus ABC123 to Excel Conversion
Budget: $10,000 – $20,000 USD
I have a collection of well over ten Lotus ABC123 spreadsheets that hold my ongoing financial records—everything from monthly ledgers to year-end summaries. Each sheet contains custom formulas that calculate balances, accruals, and a few linked look-ups, and I need every one of those functions to behave identically once the data lands in modern Excel.
Here’s what I’ll hand over:
• The original .wk1/.wk3 files straight from Lotus ABC123
• A short note on which cells currently drive the key totals, just so you can double-check accuracy
What I expect back:
• Fully converted .xlsx files for every source sheet
• All original formulas recreated or translated so the numbers match line-for-line
• No loss of formatting—column widths, number styles, headings and notes should look familiar in Excel
• A quick verification report (even a simple checklist) confirming that each critical formula returns the same result before and after conversion
If you normally rely on tools such as Excel’s built-in Lotus compatibility features, VBA scripting, or a custom converter, that’s fine—as long as the final workbooks open natively in current Excel versions with no compatibility warnings.
Accuracy is paramount because these are live financials, so please be comfortable spot-testing totals and reconciling any discrepancies you notice during migration. Once everything tallies, we’re done.
