Algorithm for Nepali date conversion

If you are looking for code to put in your website visit http://nepalidateconve.sourceforge.net/ to download php code.

.....i don't have time to read..download NepaliDateConverterAddIn.xlsm now.

The codes

Nepali date conversion consists of two parts

A. Data of number of days that occur in each month in each year. This is the reason why all the Nepali date conversion programs have its limitations

B. Algorithm to convert the date from AD to BS or vice versa.

This is explained with the code in VBA (in Excel) below with the required steps.

1. Open MS Excel

2. Open Visual Basic editor (short cut Alt + F11)

3. Insert a class module

4. Rename the class module to Nepali_Calender in Properties window (F4)

5. Paste the code 1 given at the end of this article

6. Insert a Module (normal module not class module!) and Paste the code 2 . It consists of two functions :

a. nepaliToEnglish(y,m,d,formateCode)

b. englishToNepali(y,m,d,formateCode)

where y,m,d=year, month and day and formate code will display the desired output format

Formate code	Formate
0	20671/25
1	2067-Mangsir-25
2	2067-Mangsir-25-Saturday

7. Now close the editor

8. Save your file as *.xlsm (macro enabled)

9. Now you can use two functions made in step 6

10. To make these functions available to all the worksheets

a. save this sheet as add-ins *.xlam format

b. then enable it at Excel Options>Add in>Manage

c. the function will be available as user defined function under Insert functions

11. . In this code the limits are

a. AD 1944-2033

b. BS 2000-2089

c. if date is out of range then output is string "Out of range"

The readymade file is also available. Download NepaliDateConverterAddIn.xlsm now.

Autocad calculation using fields and blocks

While drafting in AutoCAD, sometimes we come to situation where we need to upadate some text based on values of other text (similar to using formulas as in excel). In such case we can use FIELDS of Autocad to do our calculations and update the drawings automatically.

Basics:

The basic method to use field is very easy. Try following steps to get the idea.

>>MTEXT (type some number say 151) and click ok

>>MTEXT>Instert Field (or directly use FIELD command) : a dialog box will appear as shown below

-Select Field category: Objects

-Field names: Formula

-In Formula filed: right click >insert field : this will open new field window (the idea is use field value within another field)

-In this new Filed dialog box choose

-Filed names: Objects

-Objet type:Select the Mtext with the input number

-Property:Contents

-Click Ok

Now in the original window there will be some value like 151 at the end type *2 so the content will look like 151*2

-Click ok

The new Mtext will change to value showing 302.

-To edit the formula, double click the field.

Now if the first Mtext value is changed to 100 from 151 then after REGENERATEing the drawing. The field will show 200.

For blocks

The fields will work not only in Mtext but also in Block attributes, hence making life easy to create blocks which has multiple values based on some formula of few input parameters. For eg a scale block (as shown below). However, there are few differences. A sample method is given below using example of scale block:

- Draw the shapes (lines, hatch etc)

-Define block attributes (name them L1, R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,SCALE) (i made SCALE as hidden so that it will not be visible and will be used for calculation only) also i made all tags prompting to "DO NOT EDIT" as you will see later as these values should be updated automatically).

-Create block using BLOCK command

Now double click the box to change attibute value (say for value of L1).

-in Value field >right click>edit field

Now the field dialog box appears as discussed above.

-Select formula in field name

-in formula right click >Add fileds

New field dialog box appears

-select Object in field names

-select the Block that you had just created in Object type

-all tags will appear in the property (L1, R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,SCALE)

-Chose the tag that you want to use (here SCALE). Click ok

Back in the formula write the required formula using this variable (eg 1000*50)

-Click ok

Close all the dialog box

Now if you change value of SCALE tag and regenerate, the value of L1 will change according to the formula specified.

Repeat the process for all the tags to get required value.

Gosaikunda-Dhunche Trekking Map and Topo May

I have prepared a map for Gosaikunda trekking from Dhunche. The map is overlayed by a topographic map purchased from survey department. A google earth file (.kmz) has been prepared (download). If you want to add more places, open the file in google earth to add them.

The kmz file can be loaded in Garmin GPS by copying the file in CustomMap folder of the gps device.

I hope this will be useful to all the trekkers and hikers.
