I got my old copy of MS Office 97 and got Excel going, then I loaded sysp34 spreadsheets into it, but only 1 at a time and took a look at them, I also loaded 1 other Excel spreadsheet and also looked at it. It didn't do me any good at all, neither of them have any kind of instructions that a person who is not familiar or who doesn't know anything about Excel can use, as a matter of fact they have no instructions period. I understand this very well, as I know that sysp34 does not know English well enough to write down the needed instructions into a help file or into any kind of instructions at all.
As to the other lottery Excel spreadsheet by somebody else, there are no instructions that somebody who is new to Excel can use and there should have been, as it is a commercial spreadsheet that I paid good money for.
It is clear, I guess, that if I am to ever use any kind of Excel spreadsheets by anybody, that I have to learn how to use Excel and that I have to learn it very good (Well?), as nothing on any of those spreadsheets appears to be self-explanatory or self-Evident, not their use or how they are used or to be used, that is for sure, I tried changing the draw's numbers (Replacing them) and also adding new draws, but neither the stats nor anything else changed at all after that, only the draws' numbers changed and nothing else, the rest of the spreadsheet didn't update, there is something about dragging formulas and or copying and pasting, but is not really understood the how of it (How to do it) nor the why, Also the Excel help file from Microsoft that is part of the spreadsheets, STINKS, that is, is very bare-bones, not complete, not self evident and hard to understand.
I will have to read Excel tutorials from else-where, including from the Internet, something that explains very basic things and in good enough detail with simple enough language, not that I am unable to understand technical terms, I can, if they are explained in good enough detail.
In truth I only read a very small portion of the Excel help file that is part of all Excel spreadsheets, but it was so badly written and didn't have the needed details, that I quickly quit reading it right then.
I will learn something about Excel, I will just have to get my info from another source.
I did learn that sysp34's Excel spreadsheets don't have or use macros and also that they do seem to provide an incredible ammount of statistical info, they now only need more detailed skips info such as a visual list of the skips themselves such as it is given by P34Lotto, but hopefully a very much longer list of the skips than P34Lotto gives. And also some special skips info that I have in mind, but I understand that sysp34 does not have the formulas that he needs in order to do these things.
Any-how I can and will say that sysp34's spreadsheets are a work of art.
They are the Ultimate in pick 3 and 4 lottery filters statistics.
They are the work of a genius, I never thought that such a thing as them, as they are, could be possible.
They have such an incredible ammount of info in so very many different things.
If I only knew how to use them, beginning with updating and adding to their draws and then knowing how to update the rest of the spreadsheet based on the updated draws, or how to update the stats (All of them or any for that matter) after the draws are updated (Replaced) and or added to them (Adding more newer draws).
