I'm so accustomed to doing reports in Works 4.5 for years and find
nothing similar in Excl. I wandered onto a thing called pivot tables and
got as far as being able to isolate one column that had the data I
wanted to extract, but when I chose a range of dates for it to use
(greater than or equal to, and less that or equal to), it returned a
blank page. With that I can't go any further in preparing a printable
report.
Isn't there a step by step tutorial or help page somewhere. One didn't
have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out in MS Works,
but this ????

cheers-Herb.
