Tracking

Please advise how to track changes in a spreadsheet

RE: Tracking

Hi Lamorna, Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Share Workbook, and then click the Editing tab.
2. Select the Allow changes by more than one user at the same time check box.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
Under Track changes, click Keep change history for, and in the Days box, type the number of days of change history that you want to keep. (Be sure to enter a large-enough number of days because Excel permanently erases any change history older than this number of days.)
4. Click OK, and if you are prompted to save the file, click OK.
Note: Turning on change tracking also shares the workbook.
I hope that has helped, if so please click the Resolved link.
Best regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Sum Up All the Values in A Column

If you want to quickly calculate the Summed values of all cells in a column in Excel 2003 normally you would use the SUM formula. (eg if you wanted to calculate the values in Column C rows 10 to 25) the formula would be:

=SUM(C10:C25)

However, if you keep adding values to column C you would keep having to modify the above SUM formula which can get quite annoying.

To get around this you can sum all the values in a column using the following formula:

=SUM(COLUMN:COLUMN)

Which, in our example, would be:

=SUM(C:C)

NOTE You cannot place this formula in column C, or else Excel 2003 will show a circular reference error.

The formula must be placed in any other column, EXCEPT the one being calculated.
