49.6 Validation prior to conversion

A Markov model can only be converted if it can run in TreeAge Pro. The first part of the conversion involves running the whole model to generate the Rankings Report. If your model does not convert and you receive the error below, run the model in TreeAge Pro to find out what the error(s) are before converting the model.

In the Model Results worksheet, the Model Results (presented at the top) and the TreeAge Pro Calculations (presented at the bottom) should be manually compared. The Model Results at the top are generated from the Excel model and selecting the cells in that section show where the results are generated. The TreeAge Pro Calculations are copied from the Rankings Results in TreeAge Pro. By completing a manual check, comparing like for like results, you can be confident that the Excel model is generating the same results as the TreeAge Pro model.
