My FINAL update for the Ball review spreadsheet
« on: March 13, 2013, 05:16:29 PM »
Well I've been doing this for a long time, but this will be my last update of the Ball review spreadsheet! (I dropped my BTM subscription)

I'll leave it on my bowling stuff as archive, but it will be up to someone else do update it.

The ball review spreadsheet has been updated to 12/2012

The All Balls List is up to 997 balls now.

It can be downloaded from my "Bowling Stuff" site.

maybe a java update is needed??.. I normally use chrome but I just tried in my IE and it worked.. Said something about it using some sort of java plugin though.

You should be able to select the different tabs at the bottom just like in excel.

J_W - THX for taking the ball  - now to get BJI to continue to update their  Ballreviews online to present (noticed that some balls were skipped - maybe not reviewed??)

Well, let's give this a go. Here is the link to the updated reviews on google docs.  I have updated them through the April issue.  You can scroll through the worksheets and view online but I would recommend going to "FILE" and downloading it in the format of your choice.
If you download in excel you can then remove the protection and sort by multiple column categories.  I found this very helpful when looking for a certain ball with specific characteristics.

You can also change to "list view" online and sort by a single column.

Let me know if you think this will work for everyone or if you have any suggestions.

How do you remove the "protection" from the spreadsheet?  I downloaded it as an Excel file, and I'm using Excel 2003.  I can see the spreadsheet, but don't have any idea how to remove the protection.  Any idea on how to do it?

Btw, thanks for stepping up and taking over the updates.

Go to "tools", then "protection" , then "unprotect sheet".

I was going to remove the protection but I didn't want people to unknowingly mess up the data and then have incorrect information.

Thats why I had the sheets protected also. Its real easy to mess it up, a bad sort, a inadvertent keystroke with a save boom.
