Fretboard width and saddle calculator

Hi all! I built a fun calculator in excel to find either: 1) the width of the fretboard at the body join, or 2) the e to E saddle width given various inputs.
I'm not an expert geometer, but with the help of the internet and a resident teenager, I was able to use some formulae involving isosceles trapezoids to predict widths at various locations.
I tested it on a couple of guitars and it seems pretty accurate.

So, if you're bored, and you think it might be a useful tool, please check it against a guitar or two and let me know if it works. It should work in both inches and mm.

Thanks!
