Excel 2003 - importing lotus files
I have a user in a remote location which I am not at with a new Dell pc with Office 2003. He claims excel 2003 won't open his older lotus.123 files. I'm guessing he needs to rerun setup and do either a complete install or install the lotus converters. Can anyone confirm that Excel 2003 can still read lotus 123 files?

mikeargyOn my Windows XP computer, and Excel 2003, I can do <File><Open> and one of
the "Files of Type" is:
"Lotus 1-2-3 Files (*.wk?)"
I was able to open a *.wk1 file with no problem. I "think" I remember that
option during my custom installation of Excel 2003.

Error in formula displayed for linear and 2nd order curve fits in Excel 2003
I have created trendlines for some pretty simple data using both 2nd order polynomial and linear fits.

Excel: extract and sum numerals from mixed text/numeral cell range
I have a large (30x20) grid of cells with data, and I want to extract and then sum up certain numerals from this entire range. The catch is that the data is mixed numerals and text, as you'll see below. Here's an abbreviated 3x3 example, with a value in each of the nine cells: V7.1 T H P1 A T B V3 P4.5 If I just wanted to sum up the instances of "T" appearing, I could use COUNTIF() for the entire range to come up with answer ("T" appears 2 times). Easy enough. But, what I'm trying to accomplish is to sum up the numerals associated w...
