A couple of days ago I posted a message (Any Excel Experts Out tthere?) asking for advice on how to use the spreadsheet program to amend phone numbers.
Within 24 hours, I had nine responses (off-list as I had requested) either giving advice or actually offering to sort the problem out for me. The upshot of this, within two days my list is sorted - total human learning time 2 hours, total PC computing time to sort out the 8000 numbers - less than a second. Had I had to do this manually, it would have taken days! This is what Prodig is all about. What goes around comes around and if ever I can be of help, I will do what I can. Thanks to Alex Black; Don Lodge; Tariq Dajani; Tim Wheeler; Richard Allen; Rod Wynne-Powell; Phil Blades; and Jim Mitchell. Especial thanks go to Nathan Gaydhani, erstwhile Excel expert, for providing me with the formulae and guidance to sort the problem in three quick steps.
