dbu is frequency dependent. At 100MHz, 1 microvolt is about 8 dBu or 2.51
microvolts/meter. The spreadsheet is easy to use... Just replace the "enter"
number and read the "answer".  The formulas are hidden and password
protected, which may contribute to the confusion about how to use the sheet!
This has been around for years in several forms, and was a very nice gift to
the industry.

You could just plug these into a spreadsheet, or use them with a scientific
calculator:

?V = 10^(dB?V/20)

dB?V = 20*log(?V)
