john,
i didn't have that problem with the convertdata.xls spreadsheet.
i just did another run with 30000 input rows.
i would only be guessing as to the cause of the problem.
i suggest that you re-install the spreadsheet, and ensure that you 
are running explore not scan, and that you use the the provided AFL 
member with your backtest code inserted as described in the readme. 
check that the data you paste to "rawdata" worksheet is exactly the 
same format as the original.

regards gerry
