reading through a few of the old posts I noticed how feverishly everyone jumps up and down whenever a spreadsheet is mentioned.
Over the years I have been involved in a few sports online and have always used good old Excel to keep all my stats and even to hold the html code for web pages so that all I have to do is copy the spreadsheet page and upload it onto the net.

I dont use spreadsheets for racing because the few methods of selection I use are so pathetically simple all I have to do is look up a form guide - no calculation is needed, thankfully :smile:

But as I have become a spreadsheet fanatic I love to see other peoples efforts - I like to see the codes and formulas they use, I like to see the different lay outs people come up with.

And I am sure many of you are in the same boat - you love to look and learn from others efforts.

So to make a long story even longer...
...
1. is there anyway we can create a repository of spreadsheets for those who want to give us all a look at their ideas rather than having us all post a "me too" message to the forum and

2. if anyone has any spreadsheet efforts they are proud of and want to show off to a fellow Excel aficianado I am happy to receive ... you can email me at et@tpg.com.au

3. and if any of you have nifty Excel tricks you want to share in this forum, I invite you to step forward since knowing a few shortcuts etc can make ones spreadsheeting more effective - which might help the race selection process for many of you.

I should point out its not really your betting or selection systems I am after, but rather how you use your spreadsheet that is of interest. Especially those who use graphs and advanced features.

see ya
Every Topic

Hi Every Topic, I'll send you some spreadsheets next week when I have time, as I am extremely busy with family stuff and of course the Cox Plate this weekend.

I started with a spreadsheet time calculator and developed something some years ago but I have since converted to a database (MS Access) and will never be looking back.
I am now thinking about programming a stand alone product for time calculation using the database as a basis.

I am interested in comparing products for data management / calculations. Any thoughts?
