I have extended your XLC Pro subscription by 3 months by way of thanks. [Admin.]
It's been five years since I uploaded this workbook...and I'm no longer doing much transmission line design.
That said, the button updates the table on the TSS-1 Table worksheet with the updated cable values from the data input worksheet.
If you review the VBA code, you'll see that the code is feeding the pole heights into the calculation worksheet and then pushing the calculated values back into table.
Since the table ends at 105, you'll always get 105 in the pole length cell.
Hope that helps.
