Default Change number of years

How can I change the number of years on the Loan Amortization template? It
will only let me do 30 years and I need to do up to 40 years.

Default Change number of years

I haven't checked if it still gives the correct answer (it should) but the
way to do it is select the years cell then

data|validation

change the upper value to 40

That cell has Data Validation which limits between 1 and 30.

Open the *.xlt file directly, not as a new workbook.

Best way to do that is close Excel, browse to the folder the Template is stored
in.

Open the template from there. It will open as *.xlt

Select and DataValidation. Change to 40 years and OK your way out.

Save the Template.
