I appreciate the effort it takes to upload calculations gmmolina so I am only too happy to reward you with free subscriptions. Thanks also for supporting your upload too. Regarding the weld calculations I think your answer is entirely satisfactory. I'll just add the links to direct anyone following the calculation comments:
WELDGRP.xls
and for metric users
WELDGRP Metric.xls

Clint, that is a great idea. I have another version of the lifting eye spreadsheet which uses Alex Tomanovich's WELDGRP.xls spreadsheet but did not include it as I wasn't sure if that was allowed. I will look into it. Thank you.

It would be helpful to add a weld calculation to this set of calculations so the user doesn't have to extract the load information into another spreadsheet to evaluate/select a weld.
Thanks for the work you have done.
