    Worksheet Question

    i'm trying to create a new worksheet from a table that was sent to me in an email ... is there an easier way to do that besides just re-typing all of the number?

    Hi,

    did you try "Copy&paste" into a new worksheet? If that does not work usually Copy & PasteSpecial as Text should help.

    Regards

    1.Select the data in the table in your email.
    2. CNTRL + C to copy or right click and "Copy"
    3. Go to Excel, select the same number of cells as in your original data (i.e. 3 x 12)
    4. Paste

    If that doesn't work
    Step 3. Select a single cell
    4. Right click > Paste Special > text
    5. Go to the data tab in excel > "Text to Columns"
    6. Run through the window to separate your values by Tabs or spaces or whatever work (Experiment)
    Hope that helps.
