Pivot tables

If I am sending out a spreadsheet to a group of people for them to update their own section and send it back to me (as owner of the entire spreadsheet), is there a better way than "cut and paste" to incorporate these responses?

Many thanks,
Gale

RE: Pivot tables

Hi Gale,

Thank you for your question.

If you save the spreadsheet onto the network and share the workbook, then they can all edit their sections of your spreadsheet all at once.

To do this, open the file and choose Tools and Share Workbook. Select the option that says 'Allow changes by more than...'. Save the file to a shared network drive and then they can all edit their sections at the same time.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
