Something&#8217;ll look right soon.. <\/li>\n<li>Rather than showing, very generically, that a value is going up or down, the 3D line chart in Excel 2007 is useless.

Positive thoughts. Today I will rekindle my love for excel. <\/li>\n<li>Bug in #Excel 2010?When you color a cell after the 10.000 row the Filter By Color choice is inactive! if you color one below,then all is OK! <\/li>\n<li>I need to work on that comic again, or at least draw out the rest of the shops.
