Hello,

I have a spreadsheet in which:

Column 1 contains (a number) price per unit.
Column 2 contains (a number) quantity.
Column 3 contains (a formula) sub-total. (price per unit x quantity)
Column 4 contains (a number) sales tax rate.
Column 5 contains (a formula) total. (sub-total x sales tax rate) +
sub-total

I need to give this spreadsheet to a person who has no Excel
knowledge.

Please help:
How can I have the user click a button (or something like that) so that
the above information is automatically written to an external text
file?
This auto generated text file should NOT contain the formulas.
This auto generated text file should contain ONLY the values. Such
price per unit, quantity, sub-total, sales tax rate and total.

The text file will be printed as a "receipt".

Thanks,

Luther
 
The user only has to do File=>Saveas and Select "save as type" to be .CSV

That should be simple enough to explain.

Why send the .CSV file. Then they have it.
