If anyone can tell me how to convert a spreadsheet to a table, I'll put up a detailed table of predictions on Friday morning.


If you are doing a one-off, it's probably not worth the effort. It's much easier to just take a screen shot of a speadsheet, host it, and add it to your response as a picture.



but here's how you do it. I've added spaces in the bbcode commands so they show up and aren't interpreted as commands.

You have to make you spreadsheet output as a .txt file with the following additional bbcode inserted.

you must enclose the table with the commands [ table border=1] , where the number equals the pixel width of the border.
close the table with [ /table]

the table row command [ tr] must be at the start of every line of your table, with [ /tr] at the end of each line.

the table data command [ td] must be at the start of each cell, with [ /td] at the end of each cell.

You can get an idea of how a table looks in bbcode by clicking on the table button in the reply editor and filling in for, say, a 2 x 3 table, then filling in data between each [ td] [ /td] set.

You'll get:

Which outputs as:

1,1 1,2 1,3
2,1 2,2 2,3

(press the quote button on the post and read the text in the reply window)

After you have saved your new spreadsheet as text , open it in a word processor and cut and paste the outputed text into the reply window of the forum.


Easy, huh?

A good discussion of how to construct a spreadsheet that outputs that text is at http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/textfiles.html

JMU will be overcome with fear at playing UP in front of 5k fans and fold in the first 7 minutes.

Let's see - JMU over UP
JMU overcome by fear at UP

Is that it? Question

As for the spreadsheet info - Sounds impressive. I got completely lost and gave up after "spaces in the bbcode". He's either a computer genius or he's BS'ing everyone. Does anyone know for sure which it is?

Remember - coffee before posting out there.

Predictions? - Page 2 Empty And the winner is ...

Post by SoreKnees Sun Nov 23, 2008 4:21 pm

... ohhh_yeah, with 7 of 8 correct predictions! Texas A&M beating Florida today finishes up the third round with all #1 seeds, two #2 seeds, and two #3 seeds still standing.

There were no clean sheets among our 14 prognosticators and only ohhh_yeah predicted 7 correctly. Runner-up honors go to Auto Pilot, who had 6 of 7 correct but did not predict a winner either way in the Va/Duke match: only one pick was wrong, but abstained from one upset. Par for this course was 6 of 8, attained by 8 of us.

OK, here are my guesses (nothing more than that!):

FSU will beat ND 2-1. (ND hasn't played anybody good in months. Each team has lost one key player to the U-20s.)

Stanford over UP 2-0. (Sorry guys. I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is just too big a hurdle on the road.)

UCLA over Duke 1-0. (This is the year that UCLA finally wins it all.)

UNC over Texas A&M 1-0. (Too much talent in baby blue.)

Although a newbie to this site, I hope you don't mind if i join in:

FSU over ND 3-2 (I agree with SoreKnees, Notre Dame has gotten soft with its easy schedule).

UP over Stanford 2-1 (Based on what I saw in the Stanford - Ritgers game, we can take em).

UCLA over Duke 2-0

Texas A&M over NC 3-2 (Probably wrong, but I'm tired of the ACC)
