This is an Access newsgroup. Questions about Excel would be better asked in
an Excel newsgroup such as microsoft.public.excel or
microsoft.public.excel.newusers. That said, you might want to take a look at
this on-line tutorial ...

Hi.

Excel is a spreadsheet application commonly used for calculations. You've
mistakenly posted your question in the Microsoft Access (the database
application that's part of MS Office Professional) newsgroup. Please post
your question in a more appropriate newsgroup.

HTH.

Hi Cassandra,

Post your questions about Excel into an Excel newsgroup.

this newsgroup is for Access, the database product.
