You should just be able to click on the line/box you want to put your stats on and type... unless you are one of the output sheets; make sure you are on the page that has all the colors and columns for each set.

Can we go ahead and play as many games as we want before the deadlines? Take for instance my team, I just finished play the 20th game, and there isn't even a deadline set yet for the stats. Can I go ahead and keep playing still?

Yes, you can. You can play all the 82 games before the deadline for games 1-20 is set if you want.

Make a separate save game at game 20 and don't overwrite it. Then you can go back and put your info into the excel sheet when you are ready.

Good advice guys

I always dig when people step in to help each other out. The only thing I can think of to suggest is maybe double clicking on the blank spot next to say 'goals' in the sheet? If you are on the full multi-colored recording page that is. You can also type into the box at the top of the screen. I'm of little help here because I don't know much of Excel really.

A point that may or may not need to be said.

Make sure you have an actual copy of Excel, and not just the Excel view that windows will download from the internet.

I don't know if the view would allow for input.

Don't forget that for 007 the Salary figure we are looking for is listed after the "Averaged Club Salary" line NOT the Total; if you incorrectly report your finances you could end up with some serious finance peanlties making it impossible to win the Challenge. We may just record what you report and fine you accordingly instead of asking everyone if they have reported the correct salary amount; I mentioned this in the thread as well as edited it into the rules threads so it's your own fault really if you report 39.6 as your salary when you are actually at 36.1 (the difference in my CMB 1-20 example) for example

The Bonus poinst A for Challenge 5 will be calculated tonight using some advanced calculus, known only to me. Keep your eyes peeled

Post by **Minstrel** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:22 am

My tremendous fear of numbers and anything that even hints of math is mainly the cause of the delay, admittedly.

Just Calv saying the word "calculus" gives me a pit in my stomach

Post by **E5150_ca** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:18 pm

I can crunch numbers (accounting FTW?) but thats about the end of my math skillz. Good luck on that Calv

Post by **Calv** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 3:03 pm

The first set of bonus points shouldn't be too bad cos I've already typed in all of the stats, however I am horribly behind on everyone else's stats and they'll take me a few hours to get through

When you're in game press the print screen key on your computer, go into paint and click on paste(or ctrl+v) then upload this to www.imageshack.us when it has uploaded you'll get a link to put into your post on the forums

thanks a lot. can i just try to post a random screenshot in here to see if it works. a couple more questions. should i post my last stats before or after the entry draft and do i have to post the points for my players in the playoffs. and when im done posting can i start the next season??

Post by **Calv** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 12:55 am

go for it

Post your last stats at the end of the playoffs, the stats are for the 61-82 games only so no playoff stats required apart from your number of wins

ok i cant even get the screenshot into paint. something comes up when i try to paste it. what do i have to write in the file box in the print screen??

Post by **inSTAALed** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 2:03 am

What file box?

When you hit print screen nothing should happen at first, but when you go to paste it into paint the screen you were looking at should pop up.

To be clear the print screen key is directly above the home/insert/end/delete/pgup/pgdown keys.

Look on your keyboard there should be a 'print screen' button. Press this, then go into paint and paste etc...
