If you are running an office with dozens of DeskCalc installations and use the build in currency calculator and it's daily updates, you may limit Internet traffic etc. by using one central rates file only. DeskCalc does this for you. Enable automatic currency updates at one
workstation and specify the rates file at all the other workstation on your network.
It all happens to us sometimes, that we unintentionaly delete a tape or forget to save it before we clean a checkstrip. You may undo that if you recognize it immediately after it happened. But what's with the calculations you created yesterday? DeskCalc stores all tapes for the last 7 days. Restore them with the "Restore Tape from File" function.
Sometimes we all need to convert units from one base to another. DeskCalc Unit Conversion Calculator is a free addon with the purpose of serving people with their measurement conversion needs in a simple fashion. It is divided into many SI Unit Conversion categories for users to easily convert measurement units. You can start with a unit conversion category and understand how easy it is to do metric measurement conversions using our unit conversion tool.
At the moment DeskCalc is available in the following languages: German, Español, French, Korean, Chinese, English, Portuguese, Romanian, Italian and Kroatian. Read more on how to change the language settings and how to translate DeskCalc to a new language.
You can use DeskCalc's memory to:
- store an almost unlimited number of individual numbers.
- accumulate a total of several numbers.
- hold a list of numbers that are the results of (1) separate calculations or (2) the same calculation repeated several times using different numbers each time.
 
The lower toolbar includes some very important general settings including the decimal places. But lets start from left to right:
An advantage over traditional calculators is, that you can edit, change calculations on the fly. More or less as you would do it with Excel, but with the same ease that you know from your traditional calculator.
- Insert, delete, change numbers and/or arithmetic operators anywhere on a tape.
- Cut, copy, paste individual tape lines, sections of a tape, or an entire tape.
- Import/export columns of numbers from/to other programs via the clipboard.
- Sort the numbers on a tape.
- Open and work with more than one file at a time.
- Use up to 10 tapes per file to organize, and work simultaneously with, several separate but related calculations.
