Need help with exporting data to microsoft excel? |
kingfish 7/17/2009 5:52:14 AM | Wondering what options do I have when it comes to exporting data to microsoft excel? Don't expect anybody to explain how to use microsoft excel. Basically want to know easy way to get data into microsoft excel for mining.
Been playing around with Jeff Track profile report. Was able to export to microsoft excel. Wasn't able to get jockey and trainer names to line up.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Then, examine the latest mapping thread from Jeff so you can correctly title the individual fields. After that you can save it as a workbook and then mine away. However, you have to have Excel 97 or there are too many fields for the earlier versions to handle.
