Racehorse TALK

For some reason, I find Open Office spreadsheets post far better than Excel.

If I copy my Open Office SS and do an HTML conversion, it appears exactly as it does in the spreadsheet:

e.g.

Home Seed	Home Player		Away Seed	Away Player
1	Vintage	v	16	Jeunes
2	chalky	v	15	sydneysharks838
3	dubbledee	v	14	philby42
4	vadim	v	13	chuggers
5	arakaan	v	12	JWesleyHarding
6	Gintara	v	11	bgm1409
7	fours	v	10	Arsenal
8	twominutewarning	v	9	betupbob

but if I perform exactly the same exercise on the same file in Excel, I get this:

Home Seed	Home Player		Away Seed	Away Player
1	Vintage	v	16	Jeunes
2	chalky	v	15	sydneysharks838
3	dubbledee	v	14	philby42
4	vadim	v	13	chuggers
5	arakaan	v	12	JWesleyHarding
6	Gintara	v	11	bgm1409
7	fours	v	10	Arsenal
8	twominutewarning	v	9	betupbob

Open Office is free.....

Never used Open Office.

You should give it a go. If you know how to use Excel, it is a piece of cake.

Biggest difference is that in the formulas, you use a semi-colon as a separator, not a comma. Has all the same functions like sumif, countif, etc.

Good luck with the ratings.
