I have a problem with downloading anything. I can save to my pc but when I open a file it say 'error...' or 'file not found...'

webtalk

thank you all for bumping this - I'm going to download it and have a very definitely look-see.

Thanks to the creator as well.

Thanks for this EG. Not very good with Excel though and can't seem to change the legends to match my amendments to debt names and amounts. Can't do the years for food shopping either

Will use it where I can though! Thank you :beer:

Thanks

Hi Debrag - the file should work ok - try downloading it again?

Sometimes it helps to open it via Excel perhaps, rather than double clicking the file itself? See how you get on.

webtalk - hope it eases your finances in 2008, do pop any questions on here and I will try to help!

Skint_Catt - it *should* change the charts when you change the name - if you PM me in more detail what you are trying to do maybe I can help, let me know.

debt4evernot simply pm me and I'll let you know how I do the daily clicks - has worked well in 2007!

debrag

still not working for me

save file with the name is comes with - 'MSE Frills Spreadsheet' but get the error 'file does not exist...Money Pots MSE Version'

Hi debrag I just downloaded it as a test and it worked ok... can anyone else confirm if they are having this same download programme? I am not sure what else to suggest - I could e-mail it to you but it will prob be the same?

Skint_Catt

Thanks EG, have PM'd you!

Hi all, some of you may want to change the year dates shown on the spreadsheet (ie change 2005/2006/2007 to 2006/2007/2008):

Change the cells/overtype the years as needed in each relevant cell.

Then right click each chart you want the legends/years to update on and check the source data.

You will then need to re-select the same cells that were selected for the previous chart, this will refresh it and it will 'see' the new years you have typed over the old years.

I hope this makes some sense... it should work, Excel just needs a poke to refresh the data!
