    Hi all -- I work at a plant that bottles milk and juice. Every day I have to generate a very time consuming report from all of the previous day's work. This report is generated from a DB we utilize and has 400+ rows from weight samples taken through out the day. The question I have is two...

    hot off the press (selecting correct paper size)

    Hi all -- I have a large spreadsheet that I print out on a ledger 11 x17 size paper and for some reason, Excel has decided to get rid of this size paper in printer setup. I made sure to have the paper loaded but it either doesn't give me that size for a choice or it prints a forth of the...

    Tomorrow can't be today

    Hi all - I am working with times of job completion (not time of day) and have a column formatted hh:mm. When I sum it or average it, I only get a number < 24 hours. I have tried to over ride this by doing =if(mod(sum(range), 1), sum (range), sum (range)+24) with no luck. With the average...

    Hi all -- A friend asked me what the best way to link together 5+ network workbooks that different people use throughout the day. There is no guarantee that all the workbooks will be open at the same time. I thought if we had a "bridge" workbook that is always open (can that be stored on the...

    Copy and paste but don&#39;t bring the trash with you

    Hi all -- I have a spreadsheet with some attached graphs. I thought if I made a copy of the spreadsheet then the formulas for "select data" would be for the new sheet instead of the master copy, but it keeps using the master copy to generate the graphs. Any thoughts on how to make the "select...

    doing it over and over again

My question is I would like to have the charts on a seperate sheet so that I don't have to scroll to the location of the charts to print. How can I make a data sheet and chart sheet that are created at the same...

    when the two don&#39;t meet

    Hi all-- My colleague thinks I am an Excel genius (he just doesn't know I am a member of Chandoo.org :) ) He asked me for help on this scenario. He has a large spreadsheet with lots of inventory data. When the actual count is outside a certain range compared to the projected count (plus or...

    Hi all-- Can anyone give me some advise on this. When I hit the Enter button, the cursor goes to the next row (that is good) but it doesn't go to the same column (that is bad); I would like it to go to the first column everytime without having to hit Home. Any thoughts:) ? Thanks LCD
