Don't know how to find what I want

**natticus** · 04-30-2023, 07:45 PM

To preface, I am a table top role playing game player/GM and my game of choice is d&d version 3.5. I have found a phenomenal character generator which includes content from nearly every source available in this particular edition. The generator was created using, of course, excel. The crux of my dilemma however, is the "nearly" from two sentences back. There are a few details that were overlooked by the creator that I would like to add. I thought I had figured out how to track down the appropriate location to edit, but the deeper I go, the more frustrated and confused I get. Pretty sure the smoke I'm smelling is my brain melting down.
At any rate, this thing is far more massive than a simple few formulae or a single sheet. If I need to pay a pro to check it out then I will have to check into that. Just thought I'd see if there was anyone here interested in taking a look and maybe giving me a hand up at navigating the behind the scenes data locations.
The file is about 21mb and is excel 97-2003. Don't know if I'm able to upload something of that size or if I'll have to figure something else out if there are any takers?

Thanks,

Nat

Hmmm, apparently I'm doing something wrong. I changed it to an xlsb which reduced it to around 5mb but it keeps saying failed to upload.

Aaaand can't post any links yet. lol

Can't explain it in a different way …

HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:
natticus Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
