NutVal 5.1

8th April 2025

NutVal 5.1 has been released as a minor update to 5.0. It contains two bug fixes, a new entry in the food database, and some minor formatting and text updates.

  • A bug which caused a worksheet to be incorrectly displayed when the Load/Delete button was clicked has been fixed. This issue was reported to occur after devices resumed from sleep.
  • A bug which led to unnecessary data rows being exported from the calculator sheet when the Export Data button is clicked has been fixed.
  • Following user requests, BAKED BEANS, CANNED have been added to the food item database.

Please keep feeding back on any issues that you encounter and any new features that would make your work easier. Something we all need in the current circumstances!

Following a prolonged period of development and testing NutVal 5.0 has been released for general use, and is now available via the downloads page.

New price and cost data functions have been included, the food item database has been extended, new nutritional requirements for detainees have been added, and a new CVA calculator has been included. 

Its been a long time coming but it is hoped that it will now contribute to making the design and monitoring of food assistance programmes using ether CVA or food distributions easier and more effective. Its a new version with several new functions. So please do email with any bug reports or suggestions for further improvements. Thanks! 

NutVal 5

29 March 2023

NutVal 5 is now, finally, almost ready for beta testing!

Based on user feedback, new price and cost data functions have been included, the food item database is begin extended, new population requirements have been added, a new CVA calculator has been added, and we are testing out the use of built in cost optimisation of the ration contents. 

There is still a lot to do but hopefully things will now move faster and a new version will be available within the next few months. Thanks!
