Estimate (XLSX worksheet and CSV)

One row per item, followed by a row per component of its assembly (indented). Then an empty row and the job total.

Column	Contents	In the XLSX
A Item	Item name (bold) or component name (indented)	Text
B Type	Linear, Area, Count or Component	Text
C Unit	LF, m, SF, SY, m², EA, or the component's unit	Text
D Quantity	Measured total, or the formula result	Number
E Waste %	Waste	Percent (0.10 = 10%)
F Qty with waste	Quantity × (1 + waste)	Formula `D*(1+E)`
G Material per unit	Material rate	Number
H Labor per unit	Labor rate	Number
I Material	Extended material	Formula `ROUND(F*G,2)`
J Labor	Extended labor	Formula `ROUND(F*H,2)`
K Total	Material + labor	Formula `I+J`
L Notes	Formula used, formula error, marks on sheets with no scale, wall area, perimeter	Text

Job total row: SUM of columns I, J and K over every row above, and "Incomplete: see the notes above" in Notes when something was left out.

A row with a formula error has no quantity or amounts; its note gives the error. The header row is frozen.

In the CSV, the same columns hold plain values, Waste % is a number of percent (10 for 10%), and money is in dollars with two decimals. Text that a spreadsheet might take for a formula (starting with =, +, - or @) gets a leading ' so it stays text.

By sheet (XLSX only)

Column	Contents
Sheet	Sheet name (with the PDF name when it is not open)
Item	Item name
Quantity	That item's quantity on that sheet, in its unit
Unit	The item's unit
Marks	Number of marks

Marks (XLSX only)

One row per mark.

Column	Contents
Sheet	Sheet name
Item	Item name
Type	Linear, Area or Count
Quantity	Length, net area, or 1
Unit	LF or m; SF, SY or m²; EA
Detail	Linear: the segment lengths. Area: gross and cut-out areas when there are cut-outs, and the perimeter. "Sheet has no scale" for unscaled marks.

Scales (XLSX only)

One row per sheet that has a scale or marks.

Column	Contents
Sheet	Sheet name
Scale	The preset's name, or the calibrated scale, or "No scale"
How	"Preset", or "Calibrated on (the distance you typed)"
Feet per PDF unit	The exact scale factor TakeoffCraft uses

File names

(name).xlsx and (name).csv, where the name comes from the first PDF opened in the takeoff.
The CSV is UTF-8 with a byte order mark and Windows line endings, which spreadsheet programs on every platform read.
