Lost in Excel

[Westbranch]

John, Erik, from memory prior issues had a little pop up window that asked you how the information was delimited (CSV = comma/character separated values) as it also could be a period or ?
you just had to click on whatever the file used and voila.. off it went, at the same time IIRC you could set the column width and a few other things...
cheers

sunny at 10, huge wet flakes now... darn

John & Eric,
You must be right, I've Office 2003 and obviously it's not up to date 
I had found Word Office expensive and was naively thinking that it would be equivalent to the latest version. Not sure, I will buy the new one, Bill is rich enough!  I still need to pay off my old 2003 version so I could live with it  , at worst I've found a free CSV editor better than Excel: http://www.windows7download.com/win7-ron-s-editor/download-lcqefgxx.html.
Thanks guys!
Erik

Erik;

You might look and see if Libre Office is available for your Operating System. It is a fairly complete office system.

That is what I use. Free, current and just works.

Just a thought

Yes, but a good thought, Tom. I think I'm going to look at Libre Office closer.
Thanks a lot!

I thought Open Office got rolled into Libre Office or something? I used O-O for years on Debian systems then when I started using Ubuntu it had Libre Office on it?

Either probably fine.

they both are competition for Micro-bloat-ware (MS). I have used both over the years.  Here is a comparison of both, just minor differences.  http://office-suites.venturebeat.com/compare/3-16/OpenOffice-org-vs-LibreOffice

Erik, is it working for you?

Hey Eric,
Yes, no problem it's working fine now. Find these data sheet very interesting, especially when I can watch globally since november how few days I have had where my batteries have reached float stage. Waiting feverishly for a better production in March... and for a higher SG, still have a steady 1.250/55 after 4hrs EQ at 64V. I wonder if one day I could reach 1.275 in winter even with a 4kwhr PV array
