Can't "post a spreadsheet" but you've got 2 half decent options.
i) post is as a jpeg image of a screen print.
ii) Use the table function in PH as follows:

This code:
||=Heading=||=Heading 2=||=Heading 3=||
|| Row1Cell1 || Row1Cell2 || Row1Cell3 ||
|| Row2Cell1 || Row2Cell2 || Row2Cell3 ||


Produces this table:
Heading Heading 2 Heading 3
Row1Cell1 Row1Cell2 Row1Cell3
Row2Cell1 Row2Cell2 Row2Cell3

Hi,

The jpeg seems to come out either too small or unreadable.

I think the table option is going to be the one, I'm just too lazy to type it out and hoped for a eaier option!

Thanks for the help.

You don't need to type it out - you're using excel!! Put your data in columns A B and C starting at row 1, and then I'll make some code to put in col D, row 1, and then drag down. (2 secs)

Ahh, yes, I get you. Stick the lines in a seperate column! As you can tell, computers aren't my strong point!

Thank you!

Ok, put this on the heading row:
="||="&A1&"=||="&B1&"=||="&C1&"=||"

And put this on the 2nd row (first data row), and then drag down:
="|| "&A2&" || "&B2&" || "&C2&" ||"

Then copy that column and post it.
(Don't forget to credit me in your post! wink )

Other option is to upload to google docs, and post a link up

Hey, your idea works well too, just make 4 new columns of "sticks" (one to the left, between each column of data and one to the right) then you can copy and paste the whole lot, without having to use a formula. smile
