Duplicating a Table
in [Beginners]
|
From: bj on 7 Apr 2010 09:25 I add one row to the end, then just F4 as many times as necessary. Approx. monthly I have to enlarge an ongoing table after deleting the obselete rows (one by one as I process other information). I find this method easier than clearing contents, re-sorting, etc. I'm adding different numbers of rows each time. bj "Suzanne S.
