    - Filter - Copy info Hi I have a file that I filter. Having found the required records, is there a way to copy one of the columns data into a new column but ensuring the data gets copied into the same row as the filtered records. Normally I highlight the column of data for the filtered records Use GoTo visible cells only Copy Select first cell in next column Paste The data is pasted from that cell down but doesn't get copied into the filtered record rows. Hope this makes sense. Help!! Tag: Column headings to numbers and row headings to alphabets? Tag: 783631

    - Drop down list with external hyperlinks I would like to set up a data validation where the items in the drop-down list are external hyperlinks. If I put complete URLs in my list, they don't show up as active hyperlinks unless the user happens to double-click or F2 the cell to activate autocorrect and cause the link to become active. Is there any way to get an active hyperlink from a drop-down list? Furthermore, what I really like to be able to do is have the items in the list be true hyperlinks where the text is a hyperlinked label, not a full URL. That is probably not possible, but any help would be appreciated. TIA Tag: Column headings to numbers and row headings to alphabets? Tag: 783622

    - Given a VALUE in a table, ascertain RANGE in another table I have month values in cells A1:A12. I have a relative range name called Date whose refers to value is '=$A1'. So in row 7, Date refers to A7, and in row 11, Date refers to A11, etc. The values in A1:A12 are derived from a larger SourceTable on another sheet. Given Date (column A of the current row), I would also like to be able to define the cell in SourceTable, so that I can ascertain a range based on that cell. I hope that's clear, but I can explain further if required. Thanks in advance Paul Martin Melbourne, Australia Tag: Column headings to numbers and row headings to alphabets? Tag: 783617

    - Problems with trendline equations I have several worksheets of data. I am plotting/trending the data on separate worksheets, and calculating the equations of exponential trendlines. I have as many as six trendlines per graph. As I add more worksheets of data and make more graphs, the graphs that I previously made become cluttered with several trendline equations. When I delete the extra trendline equations from a given graph, Excel shuts down. I am using Microsoft Office XP Standard for students and teachers version 2002.

    - Can I use conditional formatting to scale a display value? I have a value in a cell, I would like to display the value directly with a text modifier if it is above a certain threshold or display a scaled value with a different text modifier if it is below a threshold. I use the value in a different calculation so I don't want to change the value of the cell, only the way it displays. Examples: If the value is time: .5 should read as "4 hours" while 2 should read as "2 days" If it was money: .5 should read as "50 cents" while 2 should read as "2 dollars" Thanks.

    - How to send Excel selection using Live Mail I have been using Outlook Express until this month, and have been sending information from a selected range in an Excel worksheet to a number of people every month. I don't want to send the entire (large) worksheet as an attachment, but my "Mail Recipient" function has apparently been disabled since installing Windows Live Mail. The only "mail" option I see remaining is to mail the entire document as an attachment, which really isn't an option. Since I send this information out to about 50 recipients each month, and each recipient has different data, it's been tedious enough already. But now, I'm looking for a way to send the data using Windows Live Mail without having to cut and paste all afternoon. If there is a way to efficiently do this using a Macro, that would be even better... Thanks, Tag: Column headings to numbers and row headings to alphabets? Tag: 783593

Have another look at the sheet.

You may have numbers for column headers but I doubt if you have letters for row
headers.

To change the column numbers back to letters go to Tools>Options>General and
uncheck R1C1 Reference Style
