Help with spreadsheet

[richart]

Trying to put up the H4H "Guess the drives" spreadsheet. Can't get Excel spreadsheet to work or word document. The screen just bunches all the columns together. Does anyone know how
I can put the page up and what format to use?

Where are you putting this up...I'm not sure what you are getting at?

do you mean you are trying to display the spreadsheet in a thread on here?

 

[richart]

Yes, I want to have the guesses listed so that everyone can see them. I have put them on a spreadsheet but they won't transfer onto the thread without jumbling up all the names and numbers. Also tried from a word document, but it still jumbles everything up

if you highlight and copy the cells, you should then be able to paste into a thread. I just tried it with a works spreadshhet and it worked.

That's what we have been trying, but with no luck. The pasting looks fine, but when we go 'advanced' it appears as a tiny little box. On word it merges all the columns into one which makes it very hard to read. I will let my daughter try tomorrow on her computer as it may be my settings/excel document that are causing the problem. As you can probably guess I am not great with computers !! Thanks for helping.

Never tried this so unsure how it works but you could try using google docs and link it to there?

Print it as a PDF using cutepdf writer...then upload as an image

Hi Richard, If you select the columns in the Excel spreadsheet and "copy" them, you can use the "Paste from Word" button which is available in the "advanced" posting options. This will vreate a table in the post and put your data in it. I did this when I created the CHGC Day payment thread.

Thanks for that Anthony, Vicky thinks she can now get it sorted, as long as I don't try and help.:thup:

Hi,

Still not able to copy and paste over. Can get the excel columns to show, but as soon as I put the figures in it goes all peculiar. Can I email the spreadsheet to you, once we have it on, I should then be able to add to it.
