Please read the SquareUsUp License Agreement below before downloading and using SquareUsUp. Download instructions are specific to the Microsoft Windows environment; there will be some differences if you’re working in a non-Windows environment. (Version 5.0 will be released on September 1, 2026. Until then, this is the beta test version. Please report any issues you may have!)

Do this to get the SquareUsUp template:

  1. Click on the Download icon to download the installation file to the Downloads folder on your computer. To specify a different folder, right-click on the icon instead and choose Save Link As. Ignore any popup that invites you to open the downloaded file.

  2. Use File Explorer to find the downloaded file, which is named SquareUsUp.zip, then right-click on the file name and select Properties to bring up its Properties window.

  3. At the bottom of the Properties window, check the Unblock box and click OK. This tells Windows and Excel the file is safe.

  4. Right-click on SquareUsUp.zip again, select Extract All, then specify the folder where you want to save the SquareUsUp template file, which is named SquareUsUp.xlsm.

  5. Find SquareUsUp.xlsm in File Explorer and double-click it to open it in Excel.

  6. If you enter Protected View mode, click Enable Editing; if you get a Security Warning, click Enable Content.

When the popup window titled “SquareUsUp Version 5.0” appears on top of the SquareUsUp template file, your SquareUsUp.xlsm template file is ready for use to let you create SquareUsUp projects.

SquareUsUp License Agreement Just a few things we want you to know about SquareUsUp spreadsheets…

SquareUsUp is Freeware You can use it, share it, and enjoy it at no cost. You just can’t sell it or distribute modified versions without permission from the author.

Macros Power the Magic SquareUsUp uses Excel macros to isolate users from the Excel environment and greatly simplify complex or tedious activities. Macros may trigger security warnings in Microsoft Excel, particularly at download time (the reason for the multi-step download process). Occasional security warnings from Excel are normal and expected.

Internet Connectivity Enhances its Capabilities While SquareUsUp does not require internet connectivity, it may access the internet when it is available in order to allow user notifications (e.g., new version availability), access internet services (e.g., currency exchange rates), and transmit fully anonymized data for statistical analysis. At no time is any personal information or user‑entered data ever read, collected, or transmitted.

No Guarantees, No Liability SquareUsUp is provided “as is.” While it’s designed to be highly reliable and accurate, the author isn’t responsible for any damages or issues that may arise from using it.

Using SquareUsUp Means You Agree Downloading, opening, or using a SquareUsUp workbook means you accept these terms.
