Jean I have been working on this the last couple of evenings again. Good news - should have the chapter finished by the weekend. I will look at the Pivot Data function as well. So far other than a few small inconsistencies everything described works as per the text.
Bad news - almost every screen shot (all those showing output from the DataPilot) will have to be redone. Such a lot of work for quite a small change - in the DP output the headings (date, time, value etc) all have a pull down menu to individually select sort order. This shows up as a small downwards pointing arrow on the right hand side of the cell with the heading. regards from the snow (again) Martin On Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:28:57 +1000 Jean Hollis Weber <[email protected]> wrote: > Martin, > Any estimate of when you might be able to finish a draft of your > revision of this chapter? > > --Jean > > On Tue, 2010-12-28 at 22:30 +0100, Martin Fox wrote: > > Hello Hazel > > I agree with you totally.
